I have always wanted chickens but never lived somewhere that allowed them. Now my city just passed an ordinance allowing 4 hens and I am so excited. I have researched a ton and we started the coop and ordered my chicks. The hatch day is april 6th 2009 so just one week left before the babes are...
thanks
I gave her a warm bath and now she is wrapped in a nice warm towel in the house. She does seem like she is trying to push but I can't feel any egg anywhere. Did you end up losing your gal as well? I feel so bad for her and she is such a beautiful bantam golden laced polish and so sweet!!!!
a couple of my chickens have had runny poop but today one is bleeding and there is a fair amount of bloody bedding. It is bright red. she has also either pulled or lost a lot of her feathers around her butt. I don't feel any stuck egg. Do you think they have Coccidiosis? Just the one has blood 2...
well all summer and fall I always added a little food grade DE to their bedding and food to keep down the flies but since it is winter and no bugs here in MN outside I haven't been doing any DE. So tonight I mixed some in with some of their yogurt and will sprinkle on their feed from now on and...
I'm not sure what is going on? About 2-3 weeks ago I noticed a few of my chickens had caked on poopy butts. I washed everyone but they are still having runny poops. They are eating and drinking well but one seems a little thinner I think. They are acting fine. There is also dried blood on some...
at that age my roo looked like a girl and the hen looked like a boy after a few more weeks they looked totally different once the feathers started coming in more.
I would go with purebreds also. If you want to show rabbits that's the way to go. Even purebreds are not all show quality so if you can spend a little more on nicer show quality rabbits then go for it. I have a american fuzzy lop doe who has been to 2 shows and has come in last each time so she...
here are a few from me
poppy - 18 week mille fluer d'uccle pullet
Pearl my 18 week white silkie cockerel
cheech- 16 week call duck
baby dark brahma chick
Poppy my mille d'uccle stole a cherry tomato from my 2 yo daughter and she was trying to get it back....um yeah the chicken is faster than her. My daughter thought it was so funny she ended up feeding all the chickens her tomatoes and it was hilarious watching them all run around with their...
I just love orange tabbys!! Louie was a stray that latched onto us when he was about 3 months old. He is THE sweetest cat I've ever had and just has never done anything wrong.
this is usually him sitting with the chickens
here is his face....pretty boy
very pretty too. They are just so sweet I love my buff. I had 2 and one was a roo so I had to rehome since we are in the city and can't have them. He was sooo sweet and beautiful. I was really sad to see him go.
Well I caught my Mille laying another egg today so that is who it has been. I am...
it is 50/50 I mixed the leftover grower in with a new bag of layer to gradually change it over. I wasn't expecting eggs this early......they have been eating the 50/50 mix for a couple weeks now
he has always been a perfect gentleman. He is also just a year old and will go after wild birds but has never shown any interest in going after my chicks. I still always keep my eye on him cuz you just never know but I feel very comfortable leaving him around them when I am outside.
