Best of luck with the upcoming chick order, and congrats on the coop build!
Do share pics of them when you get them :p
What breeds are in the order, if you don’t mind?
But imagine how amazing of a guardian it would be :lol:.
Then we have to wonder if a horse sized chicken can be ridden. If so, I’m definitely sold!
Not to mention a chicken sized stallion would be such a PITA. Rooster kicks hurt, but imagine a horse kick! Nope!
Exactly:p.
Are you asking for a specific feed brand? If so, I can’t give any recommendations, as I’m guessing you live in the US, and I get mine from a local mill.
Most versed Gamefowl breeders make their own feed I suppose, but I’m definitely not one of them.
Mine was kept in a slightly more standard...
A lot of it depends on the line.
Almost every single aseel/asil rooster will not tolerate others. It will be possible to keep multiple males if you free range.
Any mix breed offspring from my aseel male (although his quality was debatable), didn’t inherit the fighting instincts.
They are...
Congrats on your new layer!
Do you have any photos of all three birds? If only one has a red comb, especially if it’s larger than it used to be, is your likely laying pullet.
The only way to know for sure is to catch her in the act, or check for yourself...
Euphoria are amazing! I’ve got three now, and I would love to get more this year!
Eh, not great. The variegata is doing AMAZING. The hirsuta keeps getting worse. I need to repot them in smaller pots and take them out of the sun ASAP.
Please do!
TwoCrows loves using grow lights, so that’s an option! Don’t know how affordable they are/can be though.
I leave mine outside. Sure, I’m in Greece, but anything that provides shelter from the rain and the snow should work. They can handle rather extreme temperatures, only a soggy soil can kill...
I actually found one in the shops too days ago!
Didn’t buy it, not sure how I feel about them yet. They’re a gorgeous genus, but I can’t yet decide if the fact that I find their primitive reproductive tactic cooler outweighs its questionable look.
What I really would like to find is some...
Yup! I think most modern lines, especially in their countries of origin have been unethically bred for size and aggression. It’s my understanding that there had always been a dog fighting history within the breed, but now it’s become even more prominent.
Thankfully, some lines still remain true...
They all look wonderful! So very healthy. Ah, that monanthes is always so beautiful :love !
What are you hoping to add this year? A melocactus would go wonderfully with the rest, I think. I remember you wanted one, hope that still stands
I’m still undecided about them (terracotta pots, that is). They look ten times better, but in terms of difference from the plastic pots, not sure.
Certainly better for the environment though.
Can’t wait for the lithops and monanthes photos!
Glad to read you didn’t lose any. Winter is always...
