Are they close to sebrights? She has everything sebright except for nice lacing.
(Looked them up. Do spangles and sebrights share the same line or bred from one another? They are awful similar looking.) I've seen sebrights with, as someone put, "smutty" lacing before. It doesn't just occur...
I was wondering. I bought 6 chicks this spring, 4 red pullets and two bantams. The two bantams turned out to both be sebrights, even though all the rest of the bantams looked to be OEG's and maybe a couple silkies (though I didn't know this at the time.) The one I picked out because of it's...
Thanx for the info! : ) They are big, healthy, and very lively. I just needed a second opinion to feel better about it. I think I may just give them a little treat when I get home today. : ))
I have 4 red pullets and 2 sebright bantams. I just now got to the bottom of a 20 lb starter/grower feed mix I've had them on since I bought them in April. My mom had bought my sister 4 pullets as well. She finished her bag about two weeks before me, while I am just using the last of it up...
My mom got my sister 4 chickens this spring, one of which had stunted wings. It was rather cute and had the biggest personality..lol. They nicknamed him short wings. The last time I seen the chicks I couldn't even tell which one was him. Once they get a bit bigger they will probably grow...
She is still doing good today. : ) Really perky and back to acting like a chicken with the rest. I'm guessing she must have been a little cold and really tired? I still haven't given any electrolytes yet. Was determing which to give first dewormer or the elctrolytes? I also have vetrx that...
I was worriedd about mareks, but I got home and she was fine again. I went to TSC right away to get some meds and electrolytes though, just in case. I hope she stays well now. It was a sad morning, especially wondering what to expect when I got home. I feel much btter now.
Ok, thank you very much for the info. =) They are about 4-5 wks. I came home and she seemed just fine, but I went right to TSC to get the meds and electro's anyways to be safe. I bought sav-A-chic electrolyte mix, 3 packets for $2. It says to mix one in with a gallon. Should I keep the...
I want to get wormer in the others as soon as possible. The back says for chicks 4-6 weeks 1 fluid oz per gallon of water per 100 chicks. I'm not sure how to measure this out with only 6 chicks. Should I do the same and continue to fill their water bottle with only the water from the jug and...
This morning I woke up to one of my 6 chicks (1 of the 2 bantams) sick. She must have ended up outside the box, as some usually do when jumping up to perch, but they usually just jump back up. I found her under the shadowed part of the flap on the outside of the box. I'm wondering if this may...
