    Isolation

    I noticed the RIR is mean, she instigates fights with my lavender maran and then the little olive egger joins in like today because blood was drawn, I’ve noticed dried blood spots on the RIR and lavender marans red flesh on their faces just this week. Once the wound dried today they were all...

    Isolation

    Well the 2 Brahmas are pullets and the 3 hens have them so scared they charge after them when they get too close, the Brahmas do want to be friends though, they keep coming close. I’m not saying I shouldn’t have more hens but this rooster is always dancing at his ladies and they just stand...

    Isolation

    Gotcha, I keep the 2 puller Brahmas in a separate coop but they all get to free roam the yard, my originals are spoiled…they’ll eat tomatoes but they shun raw veggies like lettuce, I tried giving them pumpkin but they didn’t care much. I feel their belly’s and they are always full so 😂😂 it’s...

    4 mixed chicks, one massive boy?

    I got them from J&K feed store in Hesperia California. They get chicks every Friday, but the guy actually said they only sell vaccinated females, so i wasn’t sure at first if he was a male. They might have had signs of what breed they are once they get them but I didn’t notice. I’m happy to have...

    4 mixed chicks, one massive boy?

    I have one Rhode Island Red, I think my grey one is a lavender amauracana, but the jury is out on the other 2. The little white and black speckled one has a Mohawk if that helps, she also is very chatty compared to the others and bites especially if I’m not wearing a shirt she raises her lowly...
