It turned out she was a bubbly personable hen. I sold her to downsize to a friendly person with a small flock. I’m sure she’ll live a great life with them.
I don’t know if anyone’s ever had a situation like mine. But last December in 2021, my Black SexLink hen of 5.5 years passed to an illness. But around June, my father and I decided to incubate some of the eggs of the many chickens we have and to see our results. Surprisingly enough when hatch...
Yeah that’s one thing that’s heavily disliked by them since they love to wait by the door when there isn’t much snow. So the seasons to come I’ll need to buy a gate of some sort to blockade them haha, I tried that last year and my chickens still jumped over. My ducks however will be different...
I don’t have pure junglefowls nor do I even think they’re junglefowls at all but I think they’re still close enough and pretty. I don’t have the best photo quality nor do they look their best at this time, but here’s some photos of the chickens my father and I have been breeding for hobby-sake...
That's good, because I didn't want to get rid of her. She turned out with prettier lacings than the other wyandotte. She's also more docile and likes human interaction, hence why I got those funny looking mug shots of her. Haha
Hello Chicken Fam!
So I ordered my chicks from Cackle Hatchery, their City Town Special- 3 where I can order 3 of the breeds they offer, and I bought an Easter Egger, Blue laced Wyandotte and a Silver Laced Wyandotte. Well, I ordered 3 and received an extra Silver Laced Wyandotte. From the very...
One thing I find amazing is that even with all of her disabilities and hardships, Henny always managed to survive it all and stays strong through it all, even if she is in pain and I don’t know. And she’s freakin 6 years old. The black one in the photo sadly passed away that December in 2021...
She’s still alive and well, currently 6 years I’m assuming. She doesn’t have the splint anymore as she found her own way of mobility and just goes her own pace and manages to still dustbath and everything. I think the main issue wasn’t her leg but maybe her breastbone that dropped so high like...
Update: sadly she passed away on April 30th. I don’t think there was any use trying to save her anymore Because she got a pasty butt again which was a sign she may have gotten her egg problem again, so then I took her in for a few days to see if she’ll eat and drink after cleaning her butt. She...
Update: I can thankfully say, I haven't culled her like I said I would... 😃 Her prolapsed vent seemed to have become normal again and she seems okay now. I gave her a few days inside her cage to rest, then I supervised her as I let her back with the flock a few days back, as I guessed, the duck...
I think this is as close as I can compare to. I just rinsed my hen off earlier and I don’t think there’s any saving her sadly because it seems to have rotted when I wasn’t able to supervise her. She doesn’t have any egg like that video you showed but it definitely resembles a bit to how it looks...
No, she’s a young female duck that gets quite snippy nowadays but she wasn’t the problem to this specific hen. I think she just has a laying and vent issue. The other hens dealt with a bit of pecking from the duck and she’s just recently started laying and I assume she fights them off the nest...
