Hi fellow chicken people! I have a question regarding flocks sharing a run. Chicken math has gotten me too many times and it’s time to downsize. I currently have 2 separate flocks. I am rehoming half of my hens.
I am looking to combine my flocks where they use the same run. I have two coops...
Hey, all. This morning I noticed one of my 6 week old Isbars bobbing/swaying its head back and forth. They get vitamins on a very regular basis and eat New Country organic starter. Any idea what is causing this?
They seem to move around/eat/drink normally.
Howdy, all!
Has anyone here crossed a Rumpless Araucana roo with a Welsummer hen?
I am the very proud owner of Rumpless Araucana SR chicks and Welsummer pullets.
I will be keeping one of the Rumpless Roosters so I can have blue eggers and olive egger chicks down the road.
I would love to...
Hey, all!
I am looking to purchase some Shetland Hen chicks. It appears my only two options are Greenfire Farms (won’t ship until May) or Paradise Poultry in Hawaii with a march ship date. Has anyone had any experience with Paradise Poultry? I can’t find any reviews online.
Thanks, peeps!!!
That is so sweet of you! Thank you. My rooster is a BCM, and I feel very lucky to have gotten him! He’s so incredibly sweet. Not like the roosters that contributed greatly to my character development as a child 🤕 haha
Thanks again!
Hey all! I’m sorry it took me so long to reply! It turns out my Willa is indeed a Willa and not a Willard. She still has very large waddles and the largest comb of the bunch, but she has laid very regular olive eggs nearly daily! She is definitely the bully of the bunch 🙄
Willa crowed for...
Mine got pretty squirrelly around 4 weeks. And they ran away from me all the time after they went outside. However, once they got ready to lay eggs, they all became super friendly. I have a few that will hop up in my lap for loves now. It makes my heart so happy!
Yes, the second one is a barred rock. The brown chick is an olive egger and the grey one is an americauna. Jerrie, the barred rock, was slower to feather than the other chicks. She is my only BR so I’m not sure if that is breed or individual specific. She didn’t have any head feathers until 10...
I thought I would come here to update with some wild news. I noticed that this chicken was growing spurs, I looked it up and found that it can be normal for hens to have spurs. She is an olive egger, as is only one other in my flock. Yesterday I found two olive eggs in the box, which solidified...
One of my black copper marans laid her first egg today! The first egg of the flock. 20 weeks and 1 day old. I was so happy I cried when I found this perfect little dark brown egg in the box! The white egg in the photo is fake.
