I just adopted an approximately 11 wk old australorp pullet yesterday. I have 4 hens that are 1 yr old. 2 RIR, 1 SLW, and 1 EE.
Last week I got 2 little EE pullets at the local poultry swap. They were 8 wk old. We had a massive windstorm with 70mph gusts and it damaged my coop. One of the...
I am in ABQ and looking for some pullets. I'd love to have some Silkie pullets/young hens, but I think that is impossible to find without getting straight run chicks.
Looking for 2-4 new pullets to add to the 4 hens I have. Open to breeds- except RIR ( I already have 2).
Willing to travel for...
We have two RIR- Ruby and Rosie (really original). Ruby is my little girlfriend. She follows me everywhere. They are about 9 months old now. I got them from the same lady at the poultry swap, so I think they are sisters. However they look just different enough that I can easily tell them...
I'm in ABQ and have 4 hens now (2 RIR, 1 EE, 1 SLW) and would like some bantams for the spring. Something a little different than I have. Silkies or something similar to that. A little more showy than my big girls. I'm not too picky. My 4 hens are 4 of the sweetest girls.
I will be looking...
That's my question too. The vet said that there was but can't ever seem to remember to look it up for me. I had to take the chicken to a different vet than I do for the dogs. She didn't really help me or the bird very much.
Hi. I had a hen on Reglan for a bit. She's doing fine. But I am having problems finding the egg withdrawal time from it. My vet has not been very helpful.
Thanks for your help.
I have a hen that has a pendulous crop. I have done the vomit thing, taken her to the vet, withheld food and kept her isolated. Nothing has made a bit of difference. She acts totally fine. Laying eggs like a champ. I bought her a crop bra last week. I hope to have it here next week. She's...
It finally happened!! My SL Wyandotte laid her first egg today!! She's 23 weeks old.
It's tiny but perfect.
I found her in the nest box this morning. She's been squatting almost a week.
However, I found the egg in the run.
Ok now my other 3 need to follow after her.
Here's the pic. I have...
By the way Long Leash on Life at Eubank and Montgomery in ABQ is now selling Scratch and Peck chicken feed in the store now. I have to feed soy free because of my awful allergy.
I have a 21 week EE and SL Wyandotte and so far nothing.
I have 2 19 week old RIR and nothing from them either. One is just starting go grow a comb and waddles so I think she will be a while. Her sister has a more developed comb and waddles although still pink, not red.
Come on ladies! I...
