Back from the dead! Only just shy of a year late to this reply.
We unfortunately lost our entire flock in what seems to be an unheard of, traumatic event. Rats.
Its taken a long time but Im ready for another go at it. My hunt is on for LARGE FOWL modern game. I think I found some!!
HI! I have a single modern game bantam chick that hatched 10/06/2019 and looks like she's going to be the only one.
Any one in CT have a bantam chick available?
I have always dreamed of owning these odd, long-legged beauties since I was a kid at the fair.
I was gifted four of my first chickens back in June 2016 - They are three Leghorns (SUPER sweet), and one barred rock.
I am hoping to get some Moderns this spring/summer or possibly next year if I have...
I have a quest for you all.
I have a rooster in the bunch, How can I be sure not to crack open a baby chick?
Will refrigeration alone prevent this? I've heard otherwise.
To my surprise, we have eggs!
We are so excited to have our first eggs. And there's THREE!
I have three leghorns, one barred rock, and one barred rock rooster that were born in May.
They laid them all together and in a nest box like good girls!
I never thought I'd get three at once!
Can we eat...
I have the Corid 9.6%, I've added it to his water.
He is really up and down.
He's happily pecking the ground as a chicken should right now and he's not AS puffed up as he was.
This morning he wasn't pecking around and was closing his eyes.
I hope that I'm not too late.
What's the normal turn...
Thank you so much!
I tried a store yesterday with no luck and it was late so I had no options.
This is TOP on my list for today.
I'll let you know how he does.
Im brand new to chickens. Ive had them for a month.
I saw him like this yesterday but it was in the evening so i thought he was just tired.
He actually pooped on me today. It was like water. Clear with just a liquid consistency.
He sat on me a while and rested and then was back with the group...
Eating and drinking fine.
I brought him in the house to be sure he wasnt too hot. He walked around a little bit, eyes look good.
When i go outside he walks up to me but he stays puffed up that way..
My four month old is acting strange.
He is standing around with his wings hanging and feathers puffed up.
He doesnt seem too hot and all the others seem fine.
Thoughts?
