Our 5 month old brown sex links just started laying 2 weeks ago.
We have three of them (and one Sultan hen).
We have found 4-5 eggs so far--thinking they were probably going to lay more, but were just getting started.
My daughters just ran into the house shouting "We found a LOT of eggs, we...
Hahaha I knoooow!
SOO pathetic. I didn't get on video the 5 minutes or so of him stretching his neck out and opening his mouth without a peep.
poor guy. That peer pressure really motivated him! Hahaha.
Thanks! Hey guys, any guesses on breed? He has gray/blue legs.
Unfortunately we live in a highly urban area and have to give him up.
He is such a sweety though.
He and my Sultan Hen are my favorites out of the 6 we got.
It would be nice to know what kind of breed to advertise him as...
Our 9 week old rooster *tried* to crow about 2 weeks ago, but hasn't uttered a peep since.
Last night we were watching youtube clips about feather clipping and I was holding him in my lap, looking at his feathers when I saw clips titled "rooster crowing" etc., and wondered what the lil guy...
SO weird! I don't have any other EEs to go by, so that was my best guess...
I hope someone knows something on here...if it's happened to 2 of us, I'm sure there are others?? hahaha.
Maybe I'll go bathe her.... my husband is going to walk in on his lunch break, see me bathing a chicken and...
I have a stinky chick too!!!!!!
She is the only easter egger out of mostly reds and a couple of other breeds.
She is six weeks old and has stunk since I've had her.
That's FIVE weeks of stink!
She is healthy and happy as a clam.
Her feathers smell SO bad. Like old hamster cage or rotten...
I have scoured the boards for responses to head twitches, but haven't found any situation exactly like ours?
We have 6 chicks that are about 5-6 weeks old.
They ALL shake their heads.
Like SUPER fast twitches or ticks.
They occasionally sneeze, but definitely not constantly or anything, and...
I got these 6 littles about 3 weeks ago from our local Tractor Supply Store.
Not sure how old they were when I got them..they were super cute and fuzzy:)
I know we have 3 reds of some sort that were advertised as pullets, a Sultan that I thought was a red when I picked it out (didn't even...
Hey folks.
New here...brought home a few baby chicks last week.
My children named one "Cup" and one "Popcorn" Popcorn made me laugh, especially since my 5 year old obviously didn't get the pun.
Whoops. Meant no chickens on property of less than 5 acres.
I'm so bummed. I hope I don't get super attached to these things only to have them taken away.
