Hi,
Brand newbie to keeping chickens here in Western Australia.
Purchased our first 2 pullets in late December and now have 7. I live in suburbia so not roosters allowed BUT i know I have at least 1 coming along.
I have 1 Australorpe, 2 Australorpe X, 2 Barred Rock, and 2 Barnevelder who are...
I am wanting to get a trio of birds to bred to their AU SOP. I am not sure which to get but have a while because I need to save up around 100 bucks. any recommendations on good breeds for that sort of thing?
My silkie is with 3 other chickens and he is quite warm compared to the other chickens but we do live in Baldivis Western Australia. and I only got them a week ago so what is wrong with him? And what should I do?
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I have just been raising 5 lovely ladies for the last month, they are almost ready to leave the brooder.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
5 teenage chickens
(3) What breeds do you have?
Red Ancona, Buff Orpington...
