My group of 30+ will be shrinking by 2. Sadly there were 2 males in my pullet chicks. In town and luckily there is no restriction on hens BUT no to roosters.
I get it but DANG! Such a bummer.
Yea the eggbound issue has me relooking at which ee was laying the double yolkers. I got one very light green egg today from Victoria. I had thought it was her doing the doubles but it looks like from the color it was the now deceased hen. Such a bummer.
The first 36 eggs she laid were doubles...
I am in the city too but have much more lenient rules here luckily.
She was eggbound. She was fine Sunday running around like normal doing what she always did then Monday she was off a bit at 5 am and gone well before 3 pm. I had heard it could take them pretty fast I just hoped not to ever...
She was just 8 months old. She had some obvious genetic issues like split wing and very slight cross beak. She died very fast from being egg bound. She was a little off at 5 am and from where the body was either did not move an inch all day or died soon after I left for work,
I am accepting...
Pic of mine when they were wee little lasses.
I would agree that the Hamburgs can be escape artists and all. I adore my little ones. (LOL little as in small they are over 3 years old)
When I first built the new coop they kept trying to roost in the run. Did some measuring and found the roost in...
WOW this is going to be fun lol
