And this is the rooster I had but I don't have him any longer. He was beautiful but he was so aggressive, we couldn't walk through our yard without getting attacked so he had to go..... unfortunately.
I went and got a couple of pics. The first is the my jersey giant, Bonnie. The black one is the pullet, Tilly. And the rest are of the cockerel who I named Theo. Can you see the green on his back?
I have a grey or blue jersey giant hen. She is beautiful and I love her grey color. She was with an Easter egger/creme leg bar mix rooster that was really beautiful with mixes of bright red and orange. A broody hen hatched 2 of the giants eggs for me. The chicks are now almost 12 weeks old. The...
Bought this barnevelder pullet sexed at a local feed store. But I've been wondering lately. Today I watched it find a bug and "call" the other pullets. I already have an older cockerel but he doesn't act like a rooster yet, other than crowing. Doesn't find food or protect or anything but chase a...
Hello everyone. Thank you for your responses. Didn't mean to ghost anyone, just getting thru July 4th. I read all the suggestions and after talking with Husband, we think it may be a compaction problem. It isn't a container garden, in the ground, but a completely new spot. And I am pretty new to...
I have a small garden with small plants. They won't grow. My tomato plants have no height. My squash look like little house plants, not big bushes. Same with my pickling cucumbers. The only plant I have that seems to grow is long cucs that are finally trailing. BUT, all the plants have blooms...
Had a piece of land for several years that just had a shed and carport. Had a black snake always around and just left him since others said it was beneficial. We did build here and now live here and have gotten into chickens. I found this under the wooden bottom in my 2 young chickens' pin and...
Also they forge in the grass under the trees. They stay close which is good since they are still young. But they have a pretty descent area they can forge and lay in tall grass to cool themselves or hide, all shaded. Which I feel they did at first but here lately, they stay inside more. And they...
This is the house I have. Obviously from TS. It is small. I only have the 2 chickens in it. The window stays open all the time now and there is a vent in the back that stays open. It is situated under trees for shade. They have been in the house for almost 5 weeks now. Always have access to...
Is there something going on with this cockerel and pullet that I am missing? I am fairly new to chickens. They shake their heads a lot. It seems the black on his beak is getting worse. Don't know if that's normal or not? I was concerned about mites so I treated the little house with premetharin...
