Hello my chicken lover friends,
Can any of y’all tell me what breed my roo is..
He is black with the beautiful green and purple shiny feathers. He has brown feathers on his neck. His comb and wattles are black.
Everyone!
I know it’s been awhile but I have a new update on my Rebel girl 😀
Her feathers are growing back!
Her comb is still messed up and actually getting bigger.
I wish there was a way to help her see better on that side but.. I’m happy she’s alive and feathers are growing back!
Anybody else have a turkey since a week old?
First they are lovable and now they are grumpy and peck at your fingers and toes?
Is there a way I can break her from this habit?
Thank you for the pictures! They are pretty young so it’s kinda hard to tell. Usually if it’s a roo, the comb and wattles will develop a lot quicker than the hens.
The last picture though my gut says that’s a hen.
I’m so sorry your hens were attacked and died.
My hen Rebel was attacked by our puppy, her neck wound was big and nasty but from all the help and advice from the wonderful BYC community, I was able to heal her back up.
This is what I learned; You have to clean the wound with anti microbial...
I turned off the heat lamp during the day because it’s 91 degrees. And I read they need the temperature between 90-95 degrees.
They should be good, right?
If it drops under 90, I can turn it back on.
Hey y’all 😀
Sent the Mister to get puppy food and he came back with 4 one week old sussex pullets 🤦🏻♀️
Our other 8 chickies aren’t even in the coop yet!
Oh boy!
So I had to pull out the smaller brooder with the heat lamp.
But I’m afraid it’ll be too hot in the brooder.
The brooders are in the...
This was today while we were out with the chickies.
We caught these two cuddled together on the waterer bar.
Chubs is the biggest of all of them and under his wing is Austin the smallest of them all.
