I’ve got a 2 1/2 year old Golden Comet thats hasn’t laid eggs in a month. She has watery poop, is underweight, and isolates herself from the flock. No signs of blood or worms in poop. Comet was bullied and has widespread feather loss as a result. I’ve isolated her week ago after treating the...
Whoops, sorry about that! I’m bad at understanding the website. Thanks for the info, I’ll order one right away. What’s good is the hawks haven’t made their debuts as much lately... Do you know anything about turkey vultures? There’s a flock of seven that like to hang out over the property in...
Hello all!
I’ve got an issue with a neighborhood hawk that has grown accustomed to circling our little backyard. We have a half an acre lot for the chicken to roam, and we let them out daily. We’re the only ones in our development to have chickens so no advice from the neighbors. We just got the...
Yay!!! That’s the best news I’ve heard about him all week! I can’t keep any roosters in my area so I was afraid bubba would have to leave me. Thank you for your input!
I’ve been having some gender speculations lately. I can’t decide whether my little barred rock chick is Male or female! First, I posted a while back on their gender and it seem obvious I had at least on male. Now, they’re 6 weeks and my ”boy,” Bubba, looks to dark colored compared to the males I...
I was looking at their spots to determine gender, and the only one with the most deformed spot was my very light colored one. He’s been a cockerel suspect for a few days now. No tail too, light leg wash. I’m sure I’ll have a cockerel with this bunch, but I’ve never gotten a rooster before from...
Alright. That’s a sure bummer! I haven’t seen any waddle or comb pinkness yet. I was concerned with their barring in their wing as it came in. Two of them have very dark legs. I’ll watch a bit more till they’re 4 weeks and then I’ll have a 100% on their age. They were sexed and supposed to be...
I’ve been noticing a few differences among my supposed barred rock chicks. I’ve got three little chicks, and they all seem to be a little different. My littlest one is almost grey with white spots on her wings that just appeared. Another is very dark and has a black chest unlike the others. The...
My three Barred Rocks and three Golden Comets need a coop!!! Help! We’ve got cold weather but not a lot of snow. We need good designs quick! Chickies are growing up!
