Thought I'd update this with my most recent finding. Just when I thought she would be laying any day now, I determined she was most definitely a he and a very teenage hormonal one too. He needs to learn his manners with the ladies for sure. He literally changed overnight!!
Can anybody confirm for me please? He started with a limp yesterday, still eating, drinking and active, but obviosly in pain. He uses the foot for scratching but he hobbles on it. I looked yesterday and couldn't see a thing and then today looked again and saw something on the bottom of his foot...
I went ahead and brought them to the barn. I've approached her twice and she runs inside with her dogs. She's ALWAYS outside with her dogs, never leaving them unattended but I've seen them outside alone a few times and as soon as I go out with mine she calls them in. I seriously think she thinks...
I have no idea if she is bipolar or not, but her mood seem different from one minute to the next. She tells me one thing sweet as can be and acting like she is doing me a favor by warning me that people who have no difference will be complaining, then telling my other neighbor she will call till...
When the cost is feasible a fence is surely going up. We got estimates before and the cheapest was 8,000 for a 5 foot fence that didn't have as many slats. Doing it ourselves would take forever and just not worth the cost savings. Hopefully someday in the not to distant future. In the mean time...
She doesn't like eggs. :( My other neighbors were excited about eggs. When I speak to my neighbors about it they say she is going to be a problem and will make my life miserable. She got in an arguement with the neighbor on the other side and calls every time she sees something out of place in...
I asked my neighbors what they thought about my getting chickens before we got them. In my city we have to have 5 neighbors sign, including all that abut to your property. Four gladly signed, 2 on each side, the lady behind my property says she's afraid of them and afraid they will stink. I told...
Thanks. That's what I was expecting. I did notice he doesn't have any red on his feathers, but starting to notice a metallic bluish color. Very pretty.
This was my suspected cockerel last week, about 5 weeks.
This is him (?) today. In comparing with the black one I have this looks total rooster to me. The legs are thicker too. The black one barely has a comb and it is flesh colored. The flash drowned out the color in this one a little bit in...
Oh man.... I just took a closer look and the pea comb has 3 rows already. She's a he. Oh, I'm going to do some kissing up to the neighbors and maybe get a couple extra hens for some extra eggs. I can't give this boy back to my friend, he'll end up in the pot.
I tried to get the best pictures but they were sleepy and tuck their tails when they see the flash. :( This is the one that I'm thinking may be a lil cockeral. The 2 (black and multi) I was told by my friend were Ameraucanas but I do suspect they are EEs. Don't really matter to me, I think they...
I'm rude because I deal with people like you every day. You did not do anything suggested in this post except possibly the contract posted by RR. What are your hip results? You were told to do the testing BEFORE you bred your *****. And you still haven't done it even before your SECOND litter...
She doesn't care. She got paid and when problems arise she'll disappear like all the rest of them. I'm done. Thanks D And everyone else that tried to educate but I see now that it's futile. She's not so dense to see what she did is wrong and is going to defend it till the end rather than...
wow, you are totally ignorant. punk- a-doodle, really. why do you think people donate to rescue? so we can sit at coffee shops sharing stories on their dime? the donations go to the care of the pets in rescue. The dogs adoption fees don't even begin to cover the cost to us...
I can read just fine. My help usually comes after the puppy buyer trashes their dogs at the pound from neglect when they can't afford the high vet bills from their unhealthy bred dogs. I have one now that has severe bilateral hip dysplasia and snarles at the slightest touch to...
