I sure hope so. I am hoping it’s not something that Rosco brought in. I’m not even sure what black spots Iam looking for on the new roo, but he’sgot nothing. Is there anything I can do for frostbite?
Can anyone tell me if the black on this hen’s combis a problem? We were taking the girls out this morning and noticed it. 😞 She also has runny poo. There is nothing on Rosco - he still looks fine.
It has been difficult, and we have tried very hard to keep it as separated as possible, because while I’d be sad, my kids would be devastated if we lost the girls. Rosco is nowhere near the girls. I haven’t measured. He is not even near their path from their coop to my garden, well over 300...
So, we are about two and a half weeks into quarantine for Mr. Rosco the new to us barnyard mix rooster. There has been no sign of any health issues. I keep going over the quarantine articles on the site - about the canary thing ... I only have 4 hens and the thought of choosing one to possibly...
Welcome!! We just moved from the city to the country and now have our chickens. I have a full incubator, and some chicks on order! :) Chicken math! Glad you're here - everyone here is a wealth of information!
I will definitely email you in the spring, or maybe I'll have my son do it. I do not make phone calls unless there is no other option, and he is just like his Mama. LoL! I actually just found and subscribed to Poultry Show Central and I remember seeing your ad. I don't know why I didn't...
Thank you for letting me know this. I do know that breeders have lives beyond their chickens and my family too comes before anything else. I don’t recognize your name as someone I contacted, but I will definitely reach out to you later in the spring. The 2 breeders that I contacted, I emailed...
Thank you for this. My 4 girls have never seen a rooster either ... I hope it goes as smoothly as this! I wondered how getting him in would work - he isn't super eager to be caught. He doesn't fight it once he gets picked up, but he definitely runs when he sees us coming. Well he did at his...
This is immensely helpful!! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer all of these so completely. Rosco is a barnyard mix rooster and will be roughly 7 months old by the time he is out of quarantine. He's been in quarantine for 2 weeks now. I have seen nothing at all concerning...
Thanks so much for this information. I have contacted breeders listed on the conservancy - and gotten no response, I wondered if their list was not up to date. I talked to 2 other breeders who no longer have the Creves. I will definitely check the NPIP database. Thank you!
Thank you so much for responding and for the recommendation for Greenfire. It sounds like that will be the best source for my son to look at for the Crevecoeurs.
