@oldhenlikesdogs , my experience with chickens has the plucked feathers growing back prior to molt on all but one hen. I'm pretty sure she was plucking her own feathers, because I would see pin feathers coming in, then they would be gone. After her molt, however, she was glorious!
@bmill88 , Hi! What you're going through is pretty normal. A chick can start off as the sweetest little fluff-ball and your best friend, then one day out of the blue, they want nothing to do with you. Welcome to the rebellious phase! Don't worry too much about it, they usually calm down...
Hi! My DIY crafts are seasonal.
In the summer I:
Hatch Chicks (may not be considered a craft)
Plant Flowers (may not be considered a craft)
Plant a Large Garden (may not be considered a craft)
Harvest and Can
Pickle the old-fashioned way, this includes fermented spirits
Randomly Build Stuff...
So many cute fuzzbutts being hatched!!! I love SPRING!!!!
I read a post a short while back about a Halloween HAL?? Are eggs normally incubated in the fall???
Ravenswood, Jackson County
I'm a transplant, I moved here about 2 years ago and still can't find my way around. It didn't take long for me to figure out that my GPS wouldn't work here though.
Do you guys do a HAL each year? If so, is there anyone within driving distance to me that would like to do an egg-swap for next year?????
Since I can't hatch anymore this year (lacking a rooster), I'm making plans for next year!
@Chaos18 Final update, I've been putting it off. 20 out of 23 successful hatch, last 3 were DIS. Not sure of the cause, they were definitely viable up until at least day 16/17.
