They are 25-26 weeks, and very docile with kids and adults, but the 1 barnvelder we have tried to introduce to the flock has been pecked quite a bit. We have separated them in the coop for now, thinking it was better to wait and put all the new ones in at once so theres no lone new...
Hi there - I have a BCM pullet - about 12 weeks old that I believe is blind. She randomly pecks around for food, and has success finding it if you keep it in the same place, so shes doing OK. She will come toward my voice, and is very sweet - but if you touch her without speaking she is...
Free EE rooster, 19 weeks old. He thinks he is pretty handy with the ladies but they disagree, so he is being voted off the island. Has been gentle with people, has not been any aggression issues toward my children. He would be great as a flock addition, or with dumplings.
PM me to arrange...
I ask them if they wood like to stack wood for the afternoon in exchange for a home cooked meal on the condition we talk about everything BUT religion. They usually jump at the chance. I have wood stacked 3+ years ahead, and I am told I'm a great cook. They're generally nice kids away from...
This little boy is for Pick up only, in the Bangor Maine area.
I have a 4 week old blue copper marans rooster (I am almost 100% sure he is a boy) that I would like to sell, as I cannot keep a rooster right now. He is from excellent lines, (thank you Pinkchick! ) He will be a big boy, and...
HI there Mainers! I have a 4 week old blue copper marans rooster (I am almost 100% sure he is a boy) that I would like to sell, as I cannot keep a rooster right now. He is from excellent lines, (thank you Pinkchick! ) He will be a big boy, and would be great for breeding if so inclined. I am...
Not sure if its unique -
My 5 year old named his 'peckerhead'. "because she pecks your head, mom. Duh." Said in his most grown up 5 year old voice. I said "that's great honey, but you tell Nana. "
A fox came today to my house as well. Right in the middle of the day when we were right here!! 2 of my favorite hens are missing, I hope they're hiding, but I suspect the fox got them too. One EE got chewed, she may make it, but I'm not sure. I've cleaned her up, but shes still shockey...
I have had to do the same thing twice in 2 weeks. Not fun, but merciful for the little suffering chicks.
I think that's the downside of being responsible for the well-being of another creature - you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes.
HI there Kim!
I absolutely love the 4 babies I have from the recent hatch. I have a splash OE, 2 barnies that I think are both girls based on their belly/chest color and the most adorable blue maran. He/she is my favorite. I love the little dark legs with fuzz. I cannot believe how big...
