Hi all,
I want to introduce the project I’ve been working on! My Pet Chicken Project!
I love my chickens and while there’s certain breeds I gravitate towards I noticed that they all carry varying health issues, ornaments (huge combs, too intensely feathered feet, too high egg production etc)...
I really wish roosters would just easily get along 🫠 we’ve got 10 split in 3 groups already and we really can’t have more 😅 they just have the most hilarious personalities 😄
I have a 13 week old Easter egger that I thought was a pullet 🐥 She hasn’t shown any suspicious behavior but her back feathers have me worried Smudge is a cockerel 😅
What do you think?
I think a mixture of breeds that have been bred for high production and just very inbred strains contributed to our issues 🤔 we’ve started adding breeds with lower egg production and from a different hatchery in hopes that our bad luck ends now 🤞🐥
