    Onyx Olive Egger?

    Oh my goodness they're so pretty 😍 My wee girl looks just like them but younger. Do yours also have a touch of iridescent on their back when the sun shines right on them?

    Onyx Olive Egger?

    Oh my goodness the wee ones with the crest look just like mine. I'm so happy to see they will probably keep the crest. It's adorable to see it go up with her emotions. Such a cutie, and very cuddly, outgoing and SO SOFT.

    Traveling cross country

    Thank you! Makes me feel better. I traveled from Oklahoma to Alaska with a cockatiel... from Alaska to Washington, through Canada with TWO cockatiels... and that stress is NOTHING compared this! 😆 🤣

    Traveling cross country

    As a microbiology major i have no excuse for not having thought of this before myself. Maybe skipping the free range altogether for the week might be better than risk exposure to Good knows what. I have an appointment with their vet- I'll request all the prophylactic stuff imaginable and see...

    Traveling cross country

    Oh my goodness...I hadn't thought of that. I think I'll bring my screened in pop up tent... it's 15x15 feet... let them use that as a temporary 'run' during the day instead of fully free range in an unfamiliar yard. Would wing clipping help too you think? Thank you!

    Traveling cross country

    Will be moving from Washington to Louisiana this summer. Taking my 11 hens and 2 roos along. My plan is to drive at night after the sun is fully set so it is cooler, and they will be more calm. Got medium dog crates with dividers: 2 hens to a crate, with black out covers, in the truck bed...

    I had to “manage” my rooster.

    I wish I had your courage and strength. I separated my two roos into their own 'flock' completely separate from the girls. They have their own run and only come out to free range after the hens are put up for the evening. That solved the stress, bullying and fighting in the flock. But did not...

    Do hens become crabby when molting?

    One of mine lost a lot of weight when moulting. Would only eat free range. Almost stopped eating her pellets, or black soldier fly larvae, even the sunflower seeds were hardly touched for several weeks. I'm happy to report that now the moult is over she's regained all that weight and some...

    Do hens become crabby when molting?

    Do they return to their usual sweet selves after the moult is done?
