ok so been observing them the past few days. they are all doing the squat and present and i think i've heard them all screaming away in the mornings. so i guess they are working up towards a lay. I just hadn't had a chicken take this long. heres for hoping they other two haven't found some...
Ok oh wise chick ladies and gents. I know it's still kind winter but it's been warm and sunny. Last March I got three more baby chicks( a buff orphington and two aracuana/Americana/Easter eggers?) I had on laying bantam at the time. My bantam has started laying again. But I still haven't seen...
we have had the pig since last november and has always been able to roam free together the chickens and him get along great actually they will lay on him in the winter months its funny. he's just bored and destructive when we put up any fencing around them he likes to lay between the two coops...
hoping some of you wise ones can help me out... I will need to take pictures tonight. but here is the gist i got a seabright hen 2 years ago, she's been laying consistantly. last year we got 2 rhode Island red chicks. we got them friendly and sharing our one small coop. well the heat got to one...
the irony is it is bird blocked but she is still finding a way out. we have yet to watch her do it.. i will set up a camera i think.. lol shes a bantam seabright so pretty itty bitty.
and thanks i was hoping there was a way to help them get along. i will wait until they are about her size...
ok oh wise chicky women of backyard chickens I have a couple of questions.
we were down to just my one bantam hen. I got 3 chicks, a buff orphington and 2 araucana. my hen just pecks the crap out of them when they happen to be in the same vicinity. i have two coops that are connected by one...
hey all, been loving my life with my chickies. But recently before we moved our rhode island got out and we never found her. I never found any feathers either so i'm hoping someone is loving her. So we are down to one bantam seabright and looking for 2-3 chicks to add to our happy urban farm...
OK we lost one of our red this morning from yesterdays heat. We have pans of water out. Frozen bottles of water and even a nipple system. What else can I do for them? Also that means im down 2 hens now and am looking to purchase two more if anyone has extra. Mine are 4 months old. I am looking...

We are trying to figure out plans for a dun now. My girls are only 2 no and 1 no old so we have a little time I hope before they feel crowded..
Also my girls aren't getting along. Any advice.. 2mo old Banty is now missing its comb and keeps pecking at just one of the RIs... do the chicks know...
Omg rlh1! I just came on to post the same thing! I have just this morning figured out one of my bantams is a rooster. We got 2 road island red pullets yesterday and our what looks like an Orpington started trying to heard them and started trying to crow.
He needs a new home asap. #1 he's not...
Hey Cary 1973,nice to see a fellow henderson-er on here. We got our rabbit hutch to be repurposed but it needs a little repair and work. Unfortunately its now much to hot for me to be out in the yard. Here's for hoping for another cool down. Hey is there a good feed store in henderson you like...
