Thanks! I'm trying to figure out when she's going to kid. I want to be there to ensure all gonerlls but I have no idea how to make sure that happens. I do think we are getting close. Her udder has not filled yet so I think I have a little time. I've heard about the "triangle" and wondered if...

I'm getting ready to have my first set of kids!! I'm very excited but it's my first time. Thankfully Cinnamon has done this before! I believe this is her second or maybe third time. She usually has twins and I'm pretty sure that's what we are dealing with this time by the looks of her. I've...

Yes we r going to band them. Thanks for the info! I knew there could be problems with stones if done too soon.

I am new to goats. Just purchased 6 pygmy. I have a set of male twins that are 6 weeks old and doing great! I want to castrate them. When is the best age?

As long as they are laying I don't care! Lol! We already had the nests anyway so that's not a concern. Now I have more room for chickens!

Thanks I did not know thAt!

Welcome! I too joined today and am new to raising chickens. I will say joining this site was worth it. In just a few short hours I was able to get answers to my questions and learned a lot about chickens. I'm sorry your first try was not successful. My kids have been bummed that we don't have...

They are not laying and have not tried any bait. Didn't know about it. I'm new to this so just figuring things out. Can't really say what I'm wanting just thought they would be using them.

We set up 16 nests for our flock of 13. The hens never use them! We thought it was because of the tops so we removed the covering. Now I have one hen that stands on the top on the nests dividers. The rest hover together on the floor. I don't understand. The coop has a concrete floor and it's not...

Thanks for that info. Not real encouraging though! Just got this flock and it seems none of them want to lay. I thought a month was long enough for the stress to reduce and they seem very settled. Guess I keep waiting!

This one doesn't have s name yet but she was following me everywhere this evening! :cd

Thank you! That's very encouraging. How long does moulting last?

Here are 2 of them. I notice it mainly on their necks but also on the wings. They are such a good bird! They follow me and the kids around all the time and seem very comfortable in their new home. I notice some pecking at each other but not a lot really.

Oh my yes they have plenty of room! We call it the chicken condo. Lol! It's about 315 square feet and there is a roost for each of them. they free range all day and love it! When I open the door they come barreling out!

I just got my flock of 13 sexlink hens a little over a month ago. I still have no eggs. They are 1-1 1/2 years old. Majority of the flock is missing a substantial amount of feathers. I have read books and feel like I am doing everything right for them to thrive but no eggs. At first I thought I...

Hi! I'm very new to raising chickens. Just started a month ago! I live in Missouri and have the help of 2 very eager boys! My flock is small. I started with 13 but have lost 2 already. I guess that's the price u pay for free range. We love having our feathered friends running around.
