Okay everyone - I bought a rubber stamp handle with a custom saying on it for my egg cartons, however, I practiced using it on some of my eggs to see what it would look like. From the information I have gathered, I will not continue to use the ink pad to stamp my eggs, HOWEVER, I want to know...
Also, regarding the white hen pictured in my first original post of this thread, i gave her three fertile eggs because I noticed she was fighting to sit on the ones that FiFi (black hen from original post) was already setting on. She went over to the three i put in there immediately and tucked...
Awww that is funny! That is awesome that you haven’t experienced that flighty/aggressive behavior. I’m hoping I don’t have that with all of these new babies!!
Thank you for your response :) I apologize, I think my original post is causing some confusion. The little black hen pictured above in my first post has gone broody. I have two separate coops, the two hens and the rooster that I attached pics of to the original post are ones that I adopted and...
AC Rooster and LA hen are not pictured. The pictures above are of the three I adopted, unknown age/breed. However, from a previous thread I posted, it seemed most people suspected the roo to be olive egger. Just was not sure about the two hens. Also, it turns out the white hen was broody too. I...
The one little black hen that is kept with him (breed unknown) actually just went broody, so yes we will see what traits come out of this hatch! I just posted a new thread with pics of this roo's two hens that he shares a coop with.
Hi everyone! One of my hens has gone broody. She was a rescue so I have no idea how old she is (young, if I had to guess), what breed she is, or if she has done this before. I currently have two coops in my backyard. The smaller coop is the one that this particular hen is in along with another...
There is a lip on all of them now, this was taken while he was out cutting the wood actually haha. Thanks for your response! The egg was actually broken and eaten in the box she laid it in. I’m hoping it broke accidentally and she just decided to eat it then!
I have 7 hens and 1 rooster, 3 of the hens are laying and just about a year old. The other 4 pullets are 5 months old. My original flock was fed a 50:50 ratio of Natures Best organic egg layer crumbles and Manna Pro All Flock with probiotic. Since the new pullets were only a few months old I...
Hello fellow chickeners!
I got a call that animal control had picked up a “rooster” in a town not too far from me, so I offered to pick it up. Lo and behold.... he was actually a she :lau she was seen wandering the streets alone for a few days, and they never saw another chicken with her. Can...
This is my Cleo. She is my only gold girl! She loves attention and always wants someone to hold her, I still have them inside and when I walk in the room she runs to the door of her cage so I can pick her up :ya The rest want nothing but food from me haha!
