I have a Sebright that just started laying at 9 months old. I have felt her keel bones and never noticed it before. In between her legs is kinda squishy. I really hope this is not ascites. She still acts fine and we have only got 2 eggs from her. She started laying this week. She is my favorite...
I want to ship a dozen hatching hatching eggs to a member here on BYC. Do I have to be certified? I was watching a video on how to ship eggs and she said she needed some type of certification to ship. Do I have to have this to ship a dozen hatching eggs to someone?
Here I will talk about my flock. If I have a problem I will post it here. If I hatch eggs I will post here. Now I am going to introduce you to my flock. Well, there is actually 2. I have 2 seperate coops with seperate flocks. Flock 1: The Originals
Little Big Shot - He is a Black Cochin Bantam...
Yep! I am at a lego robot comp! At thr moment we are placed 3rd in robot game. I dont now if anyone else on BYC does FLL, but if you do, how are you doing this year? We have had many problems this year including switching robots and covid. We are going up for our last match in a minute. Wish us...
As the title says I will try to draw your chickens. Please do not expect much, I just want something to practice on. Here is my best drawing. I can try to draw other animals but..... Oh! And I can do digital or by hand. Just let me know. I will have some free time this weekend!
I really want some cows. Like a small business. This would not be happening anytime soon, but I would like to learn. We have plenty of property, but no fences. There was cows here before. We have a local sale barn. So here is how it goes. You get some cows and a bull. You keep all of their...
I have 2 coops at 2 houses. 1 coop I have had for 1 1/2 years. It holds Little Big Shot, my Cochin Bantam rooster, and Sky, Plum, and Bubblegum, Cochin Bantam hens. The other coop is at my grandma's house. I have had it for about 6 months. It holds Chipmunk, and OEGB cockerel, Soldier, a Cochin...
Does this hen have sour crop? She is a 1 1/2 year old Cochin Bantam. When I noticed this I felt her crop and it was squishy and felt like it was full of grainy mash. If you need more info please tell me and I will provide.
I was not sure what section to put this in but we'll roll with it. So yeah, we moved to a new house and we moved the chickens over tonight. They are now settled in and have food, water, and some fresh hay. Will they adjust fine? I have some hydro hen from TSC that I could give them for a few...
So I have a flock of three hens and a rooster. I have not got any eggs for 2 weeks. Part of it is probably because our temperature changed so fast, it went from the 80s to the 40s in a matter of 2-3 days. However they quit when it was still warm. First let me give you the recent backstory of...
I love the game Rodeo Stampede on Poki and wondered if anyone else plays it. If so we can communicate on here. If you get a new animal, post it! If you get an exciting baby, post it! Questions? Post them! First I have a question: What does it mean by total habitat level? I need to get the lions...
Could this pullet be close to point of lay? She is a little over 5 months old and her comb is a bit more vibrant than her sister's. Definitely more vibrant than my Golden laced Sebright who is about a week older than her. She is a Cochin Bantam. Thoughts? Advice? Signs?
Pullet in question...
This is a black Cochin Bantam cockerel that I hatched. He was hand raised and is fairly friendly. He is still young, only about 4 months old. We have named him Soldier so that is what I will refer to when talking about him. Would like to trade for bantam hen but would also be open to selling...
I have a hen that was broody for almost two months. She broke herself when the other three chickens were at the fair. When they came back the other two hens picked on her. She now has patches were she has no feathers or very little feathers. She is also very skinny from being broody. My thought...
I was just curious what the difference was in a Wheaten and a BB Red OEGB. When I looked them up on Google they looked pretty much the same. Thank You!
I have a hen that I recently broke of broodiness. I broke her when the other chickens went to the fair. When the two other hens came back they started picking on her. They are at least two times the size of her. Should I seperate Plum (the broke broody) and give her good food (and hydro hen?)...
Hello everybody! I'm back! I was locked out of my other account. I have 9 chickens. 4 at my house and 5 at my grandma's house. Let me give you an overview of them:
My house:
