Thank you. She has been showing them around and talking to them just like hers. They are leary of me yet but will try to post pics asap

A tiny sebright hen hatched one chick yesterday. Today she has one tiny chick and four wild turkey chicks about half grown. They seem to have lost their mother and wandered into the yard and attached to the chicken mama. She seems to be happy with them and is welcoming no problem. This is quite...

Thank you for the replies. I am sure it is an injury I can feel the dislocation of the spine. I decided to have him euthanized. Didn't trust myself with anything else and didn't want to make him hurt worse.

One of my sebright roos seems to have injured his back and is paralyzed. I need some help with culling. What is the fastest or easiest wayto do away with him with no suffering? Please help

That's pretty cool

Anyone have any ideas what I can do with six younger roosters. Good size to eat but nobody will butcher chicks around me. I'm near Battle Creek. If anyone knows a place. Or wants them to eat.

Where and when is fowl fest? I would like to go I think. Never been

Broodys also tend to puff up and sometimes make a growl type noise if you try to move them off their nest

Very cute! Sorry don't know much about ducks though. But super cutie

Thank you stacykins! I have two EE hens, one lays blue, other white. I was just curious as to what to properly call them. Can they be any color? Kinda like a calico cat can produce any color. Does that make sense lol? I'm curious because some are turning white. I have also considered the whites...

Hello! I have 7, 9 day old golden chicks I hatched from a trio I own. Also have four silvers. I just love my sebrights. Glad I found this!

In my experience my two EEs just don't lay as well as my other chicks. I have one that lays about every other day and one that lays about twice a week. This has always been their routine for almost two years now. Maybe its just mine though.

Welcome! Beautiful homestead. In Michigan here but dream of moving south someday. Do you get lots of snow in the mountains?
