I used a bag of Dumor chick feed when my other brand was sold out and the chicks were pooping that same foul smelling chocolate poop for every poop! Cecal poop isn’t usually ever poop. I never used Dumor again and after a few days my feed store had my regular brand and I switched and the poop...
Yeah Im not sure I will ever order from my pet chicken again… I ordered 11 chicks, 8 salmon Faverolles and 3 Americaunas. 3 of the SF died with in 48 hours and one has a chronic eye issue that was present from day 1. The Americauna’s one turned out to be a roo and one died suddenly 4 weeks...
I wouldn’t hatch eggs that were fertilized by him. You wouldn’t want to risk the defect being passed down. And it’s always the favorite ones that break our hearts. The thing that’s crazy is that as baby chicks the sweetest little ones that you really bond with and love turn out to be the boys.
I buy shade cloth from Amazon in 3x6 90% filtered. I purchased a few cattle panels and I use zip ties to attach the cloth to the panels so I can move the “shade” for the chickens. Right now I have them leaning at a 45 degree angle against the coops so that underneath the coop is nice and cool...
They remember things…..
When I wanted to sell a few chickens, they remembered that I took them. So my egg laying established flock that once would run to me, is now scared of me and runs away from me ☹️
This is Moe an Ameraucauna hatched on 4/2. His/her feathers are growing in slow so she looks pretty funky! She won’t hold still long enough to show her back under her wings, but she’s completely bald except for peach fuzz. Idk 🤷🏼♀️
