How is your flock of 2 doing?
I bought 3 baby hens 3.5 months ago. One turned out to be a rooster and we found him a happy home yesterday. I know the other 2 are freaked out that he's gone. They'll adjust to that, but I was wondering the same thing:
Is two too few?
I thought I had a fly problem.....Then it rained 4.5 inches across 3 days was cloudy for the better part of a week, then rained another 3 inches. That's when my backyard started looking like that scene from Amityville Horror with all the flies.
I put down DE - maybe a little difference? Maybe...
I'm impressed with how some people can tell the difference between breeds when they look so similar (to me). I don't think I could tell between a white rock, white cockerel, and a white leghorn.
Either way, he's a he. He crows now all the time.
She is about 12-13 weeks. We got her March 4th and she was already a few days to a week old. The only thing I am sure about is the fact that the guy at the store said it was a white rock. These are the first chickens I've ever owned!
Hello!
I am new to chickens and to this site. I got 3 babies in early March: a white rock, golden laced wyandotte and a silver laced wyandotte. I designed and built a coop/tractor, but they get lots of time out in the yard. My cats and yellow lab coexist with these lovely birds and all is well...
