I have a female and male, last spring she layed all the time, since the end of summer, she has not layed . My brooder hen layed on her egg last spring and it hatched. She stuck by momma hen till she was about 3months, then she started realizing she was a duck, unfortunately a coyote got her. But...
So let me just say this....... WE TRIMMED OFF CAMO's(our rooster) SPURS!!! Woohoo.
It's been a debate with my husband on how? WHY? And I looked on here and on YouTube and after loosing a young hen(I knew what happened) LAST NIGHT WE DID IT!!!! Yeah!! So simple.
1. I waited until he was...
My baby Pekin was raised by my very good momma chicken, Ms. Buffie, baby "Waddell's", still thinks it's a chicken, the Parents, "Daisy &Donald" are finally keeping a close eye on Waddells and sometimes separates Ms. Buffie (the chicken) away from it.
So when do I separate Ms. Buffie, from baby...
My sweet Ms. Buffie, has been siting for more than 21days. She is by herself in a single run.
We've never had one sit and be successful. She did hatch one and it drowned, so I changed her water tower immediately. She has scooted out several eggs, I guess she knows, which aren't going to hatch...
My Drake is EXACTLY the same!! We've took them both(male/female) to our pond, with a temporary home, they both walked back home
He tries to bully my Rooster but Mr. Camo don't have it.
He is ALWAYS AGGRESSIVE TO ONLY ME! Everybody else he runs from. I've tried it all! Everything. Nothing...
I'm at a loss with these eggs as well. We have less eggs. I keep heat lamp on at night(Red) but we haven't started our clear white yet.
My problem along with less eggs are, they won't lay in their boxes.
We fenced off under the coop, locked them in for about 2 weeks, put golf balls in, I clean...
Help!! This boy gets REAL AGGRESSIVE towards me. He's starting to trip me, which isn't good-disabled. I'll try to put clean water in and he jumps at the chance to latch onto my wrist or hair. He'll try to latch on my boots. He'll leave bruises on my arms, lil butt hurts. I try to talk and play...
We are so confused about our gens. We are getting about 2eggs a day, out of 8hens. We are just now adding artificial lighting because of the cold but it's been horrible.
So, we thought this one was the same age as all our other pulleys around 5months.
But like our 5month Roo, it got that Comb in the 10-12weeks.
Buying from Feed Store, this baby may have been mistaken on age(placed in wrong cage).
I see no Spurs and it hasn't Crowed at all but VERY LARGE BIRD...
Wow!!! I still have SOOOOOO MUCH TO LEARN!!! Yes I did mean Comb, LOL. Here are pics of the other two birds I have, that according to info above are possible Roosters. Please let me know. - I'm heart broken that they maybe Roos, I'll need to give them away because our flock is too small to...
