I was wondering if anyone on here knows of a breeder of Holland Lops in the Jacksonville,NC area or within a 2 hours drive? I am looking for good brood/show quality one with a pedigree. If anyone could help I appreciate it. Thanks
One of my hens just hatched 2 eggs and if I take them away how long will it take her to get over it. I was going to let them be with her but we only have one coop and no other place to put her. Plus for some reason my roo(who is the dad) picked one up by the head. The baby seems to be fine. He...
I have 4 chickens, 1 roo and 3 hens. Two of the hens are only 4 months old and I'm trying to put them in the big coop with the other 2 but that one hen is aggressive(she's a game hen) and the other 2 are a BR and an EE. We have a hurricane coming our way and I really need them in the main coop...
Recently our neighbors hen has been bringing her 4 babies in our yard ,and my roo has taken a liking to them. He always tries to get the one hen we have so far to stay on the nest and sit on the eggs but has not had any luck so far. Yesterday when I looked out my window I saw the baby chicks in...
Today I picked up 2 baby chicks from my feed store, 1 BR and 1 EE. I specially ordered females so I hope that's what they turn out to be. The EE wings seem to be droopy. They have gotten a little better since they have settled in the brooder. Should I be worried at it? The chick seems to be...
I just recently had a bad experiment with buying older chicken, which ended in me having to put them down. It was suggested I try my local feed store for chicks. When you buy chicks from there is it a pot luck or do they sell specific breeds of chicks or both. The reason I bought older ones is...
Two weeks ago I bought 2 4 1/2 month old BR hens. During the trip back one got poked in the eye. I started washing the eye out and putting neosporin on it, but it kept getting worse. Then I notice they had lice and mice and treated them for that and it worked. Then both hens started to get...
Since it's a pretty nice day today, I went outside with my kids to play and clean out my coop. I only have one rooster and one hen. I also put some pine needles and dirt in there so they could scratch around in to find bugs. After a while I heard my roo clucking, crowing and signing as loud as...
The neighbors hen has started laying eggs in a sheltered hidden place in our yard 3 days ago. Is this a sign she going broody. She hangs out with my roo all day and then goes home at night, but comes back in the morning, which I think is so cute and funny. Since I have no experience with laying...
This pretty little hen is one of my neighbors chickens, but she spends all day with my roo and I can't seem to find out what she is. I would ask the neighbor but he doesn't seem the friendly type. She comes over in the morning and spends all day here and at night she goes home and sometimes...
I have recently acquired a BR roo and was planning on getting a couple of BR hens in the spring. Are they a good breed for beginners. Since I'm a stay at home mom I thought it would give me something else to do and a little entertainment in the process, plus my kids seem to like to watch them...
I have just recently acquired a BR rooster. One of my neighbors got a new roommate and brought it with her, and the rooster seems to like my deck better. She has since moved out and left him here, so now I have him. I just couldn't let him be and my 3 kids just love him. My husband has made him...
