No, it is for sure a girl. She's a doll, so sweet!
She acts like she is going to lay everyday, does the whole dance, always making nest. I always think today is the day because she has been at this forever...NOTHING! She has been doing this since October. Poor thing!
I have three girls! They were all last Easter chicks. Two of them have been laying since October and one is still not laying!! Do you think she is just a free loader?
Thank you! I hope so...Maybe this is the year??
I just checked out your feeder!! WOW!! That is so neat!! I think I could watch them eat out of it all day!
Oh Goodie!! It's so nice to know there okay! My husband thinks I'm going crazy with these chickens! EHEHEHHH!
Thank you all for the warm welcome and the tips! I think I will start to tarp it when it gets real cold. Annie, Isabella and Penny are getting pretty big! There almost a year old...
Hi There!
I'm also in AZ! Pretty new to all of this chicken stuff...I have a question for you all~ It has been so cold here!! I'm worried about my girls!! Should I be doing something to keep them warm? They are in a roofed coop at night but the whole front of their room is chicken wire, so...
No I didn't!! I'm such a dork! I was so excited to get a new girl...I just read about it in a book and did the whole wait till dark thing. Now I know!! I should have known, you don't just put a dog in a pin with others and think it will be okay!! What was I thinking??
Great advice! Thank you! I will make sure they are put out longer for more time away from each other, they are in a small coop. Man, I wish I would have waited and done the introducing thing first! I thought it was going to be so easy, like they would wake up in the morning and not even...
Hi There!
Last night I was spy like and I quickly put our new addition to the the group. Everything was doing fine then, BOOM! My 2 year old turned on the light...Well all the girls were up!!! My Penny was making a horrible noise and very LOUD!! Because we live in a normal neighbor hood, I...
I hate waiting!!! It is driving me CrAzY!!
Do you think she will wait till spring? She has been squatting and scratching since she was 30 week and never an egg! They are in a coop with a run so their is no way she could be having them anywhere else...Or maybe she will not have an egg at...
Thank you so much for all the feedback! I LOVED the Mother Earth article!! I can't wait to show him! EHEHE
As far as the mask goes...I read it on here! I'm such a newbie, all believe anything!!! I'm not quite sure, but after you read that post and all after...I'm sure you'll wear one to...
My husband is a germ freak and is insisting upon me getting the egg wash! Can't I just use a little dish soap? Really, did older farmers ever use fancy egg wash! Or should I be more cautious? I never listen to him about having a face mask when washing the coop eaither! Then I found he was...
Man!! So sorry to hear that~
I teach Preschool and every year we get fertilized eggs to see the birth....NOTHING!! Only one year, out of the eight years of doing this did I even get something inside them. I'm a fool and keep trying:P Maybe one year we will get lucky. I have talked to other...
I have a brown leghorn that is 30+ weeks old and started the squatting dance three weeks ago and then stopped! I keep waiting...Though, I check every five minutes!! Maybe she has stage fright from me always looking at her!! It's not like I don't have anything else to do, I'm just a nut...
