We do have a neighbor kitty who has adopted us and our chickens. She sleeps in the empty coop at night, keeps my rodents from becoming an issue (except the ground squirrels but that’s another story) and she doesn’t chase my girls or try to get them. She’ll just sit very still and let them check...
We have 3 dogs. 2 rat terriers and the boy is pretty afraid of the chickens, Penny has claimed them as her babies from the day we got them. Although most are far bigger than her now at 44 weeks old but she still likes to hang out with them. We have an old blind Queenslands heeler and he isn’t...
Your cat sounds like my Hippie cat. With him it’s cords. He chews on them. Unplugged, plugged in it doesn’t matter. I swear he has ruined about $1000 in phone cords for our cell phones. And lamp cords and any other cord he can sink his teeth into. Apparently he doesn’t get enough of a jolt to...
I got 42 eggs last week from 10 laying hens and pullets (2 are pretty sporadic right now, but the others are very consistent) and so far this week I’m1 ahead of last week
I have an Easter egger hen who is approximately 3.5 years old. She started molding in Nov. and hadn’t laid an egg since then until 2 days ago. Her regular size is between 55.6 & 60 grams per egg. Day before yesterday I found an egg from her. I got a big laugh about it and att her expense because...
My 8 mon old Sultan roo is a very healthy happy guy but this is like the third time he’s had little spots on his feet where the girls are picking at his feet and making them bleed. I think he might be getting things stuck in the feathers on his feet and they might be trying to pick the shavings...
I have a teeny tiny little 30 weeks old frizzle pullet. She is the only one of my girls I got as babies in April that isn’t laying. Should I be worried??? Honestly I don’t care if she doesn’t produce eggs she a sweetheart and she doesn’t have to earn her keep. She’s so little she doesn’t cost...
I got 2 leghorns, white in April as day old chicks. They started laying within a day or 2 off each other at almost 18 weeks to the day. Then my bantam buff Cochin laid her first at 17 weeks. I have a little gray and white bantam not sure her breed, she laid her first at 21 weeks. My welsummers...
Don’t know if it’s easier to see her in that first one probably not. I’ll see about trying to get some better pics from the side this morning. The second one is Gracie. She is one of my first 4. I have another one just like her, Ethyl. I wasn’t sure what they are. I wonder if they were a barred...
I got 4 of these as adult chickens from my niece and the others I bought as chicks from tractor supply. Any help with what they are will be appreciated. I’m pretty sure I have a sultan roo and a bantam Cochin roo and a bantam Cochin pullet. I think my 2 white ones might be leghorns but not sure...
I hope someone can tell me how I find a question I posted a couple of months ago. I can’t find it and don’t see any notifications that anyone responded to my question
