Had 3 SFH chicks hatch today,(day 21), still have one egg under mama. Will post pics soon!!!

whhooo just got caught up on this thread I have been offline for a while... I have a question, I had 6 SFH eggs under a broody (who is doing a terrific job) but today when I checked on her one of the eggs was open at day 18, with a not quite done dead chick, do you think broody mama somehow...

I will be there! I am bringing my BLRW roo for karen and the SFH roo I hatched from Wildhorseannie eggs! Just got 8 SFH eggs from wildhorseannie for my constantly broody Astrolorp!!! Big Bertha is so happy to have real eggs instead of a single dog chewed plastic egg!

That is the problem with mine. Obsessive about herding the chickens and when one does not go back with the group....as soon as he grabs one then they turn into a squeaky toy for him.

I feel for you, losing a best friend is a hard thing.

Here are the 2 beautiful ones I lost, I think I bring the other 2 to Gilmanor to sell. The boy and girl I might bring to the Gilmanor VA Swap the idiot I am very frustrated with

Ducks are messy and not for me at this time, the main problem is he obsesses on the chickens all day long. I need to find something else for him to obsess about...

GGGGRRRRRRR AAAAAARRRGH I think I might give up on SFH. I got 8 eggs, 4 hatched. now my insane 6 month border collie has killed both my mille fleur SFH. Of course the 2 he has gotten (one today, one a couple weeks ago) were both pullets, the rooster is safe and sound. The problem is the SFHs...

^ maybe she has junk in her trunk! No need to call her out like that!

Other than the crest I would say this is a partridge barred rock

Here is a update (and sex guesses) for my Bazinga babies. They are so bold and fun! This is at 6 weeks #1 roo #2 Crested Girl??? (hopefully) #3 girl #4 girl

The SFH chick I got from Karen and Leigh was that color with just a spot of red on her head. she was almost all white with small flowers of red and grey. unfortunately I think one of the neighbors stray cats got her.

yipppeeee good luck getting rid of him!

I was so excited by my plethora of blue eggs...then after I posted I said hmmm SFH should not be laying blue eggs!!!

Sunny skies I hope you get that raccoon... oops thought I was on the VA thread

So sorry for your loss, a 22 might work better than a shotgun. you just need to practice a bit. you dont want to have to shoot a shotgun near your chicks, but with a little practice you can easily pick off a coon with a 22 with little or no recoil for you and less potential damage to your...

here are some pics of my SFH chicks that I hatched from wildhorse annie (17 days old) I do notice that they are "flowered" on the beaks too ...is that normal?? the 2 blues together blue 1the darker 1 blue 2 brown 1 brown 2 all 4 with momma

wow you have good eyes!

mine scare me, because I have a 5 month old Border collie who is still learning, and they will come thru the fence and jump on him. He is outside with them all day and so far I always have 4 chicks when I get home. Astrolorp mommy is pretty vigilant on guarding them, she has charged the dog thru...

chicks on day 13, starting to wander away from mom, but they listen better than my kids because on the first call they all run over to her!
