Heyo!!
Got a chick I’m curious (re: paranoid) about!! Went out at 8a to let the bigger girls out of their run and this girl had her tail down and her crop looked larger then normal. Everyone else on her side of the run has a normal crop for it being 8a. I picked her up (which is weird since...
Update:
Got Corid. Was treating her for the last few days. She looked like she was getting better. Tail back up, walking around this am when I checked in on her. Went out tonight with the dog and heard the chickens raising a fuss and Whiskey was curled in a corner not moving. Brought her inside...
We also have Coturnix quail and we feed 30% protein from hatch to cull (8 weeks), since you use yours for breeding and eggs I’d suggest looking into a game bird maintenance feed (the one TSC sells is 12.5% protein). We also mix our 30% protein feed with 16% layer crumbles!
I live around Dallas tx!! So it snows once every four or five years! I’ve had to modify the plans I originally had so we will probably have a door that opens normally! Hopefully I can post some updates later this week! I work at a restaurant and it’s been killer due to the holidays so I haven’t...
Well. Since my math these days has become chicken math and all my girls are outgrowing the coop we currently have, the BF and I have decided to see if we can build our own coop made from pallets we’ve managed to salvage!! Today we got the floor and base put together!! Tomorrow we start the walls...
she was eating right before we grabbed her to bring her inside for pics, and I’ve spent a couple hours with the chickens the last couple days and she was eating then, but yes, we will be bringing her inside to monitor her for the next couple days!
We’ve had her since sept 11, got her and another chicken who we actually gave back bc that was a roo. She’s never really vocalized for crowed and her saddle feathers are rounded.
(Ft her and said roo)
We’ve had her since sept 11. Wormed all the chickens about two weeks ago. She’s five months old now, but even the girls I got in may haven’t started laying eggs yet. She does free range but they don’t have any access to the compost pile, we’ve got it closed off.
