I am in shock. Went out after work… I work from home and go out several times a day to visit my chickens and ducks. Charlotte .. the jailbird… was pacing back and forth in her jail cell looking all sorts of cra cra. When I first put her in yesterday morning she paced a little but eventually...
Was searching this morning for a current forum for chicken jail. I have one barred rock, Charlotte, in the slammer now. Been trying to incorporate 11 6 week olds for short periods a day… the other hens just do their normal pecking order stuff if they’ve had enough. Charlotte makes it her job to...
Interesting. I have 11 total new and while cute I haven’t really taken time to cuddle them aside from changing their bedding and switching them in and out of the pen. So I guess that’s a good thing! Great advice! And super excited it’s a Brahma to add to the flock. 🐔😊
Thank you! I thought so … not that I’m anything more than a google expert. Lol. Either way pulley or roo… yay! I’m kinda hoping it is a roo and that he’s nice. My last roo attacked me just for looking at him. Lol he was a barred rock. Any suggestions on how to manage a roo when they show their...
So I got some new babies for my flock this year. Murrray McMurray. Lovely sweet things and doing well. I keep thinking my mystery chic may be a Brahma? He ( most likely a he) is a little bitty thing. He finally has sprouted up with his leg length a little and he has feathers on his feet that...
I have 5 ducks. 2 Pekins... Lola and Tulip. 2 Khaki Campbells... MaryAnn and Wanda. And one runner... Olive. Tulip, one of the Pekins, and Olive the runner were adopted from a rescue. Not sure of their age but pretty sure young because I have noticed the Pekin especially has grown in...
I got on this morning to search if it was ok to wet their food! Found this thread! I have 5 adult ducks and 9 hens. The last few days I have been moistening the ducks food thinking it would be easier to eat… they have done fine on crumbles and dry pellets but got to thinking maybe they’d like...
I have 5 ducks and 6 hens. I sell my eggs in a farm stand by the road. My duck eggs sell for baking mostly but I do have some that eat as well. My chicken eggs sell fast due to the grocery prices. But if you have ever baked with a duck egg… oh my. SO delicious. It’s all I bake with. I tend to...
My girls were excited yesterday because it was 50 degrees in January here in the Midwest. New pool water, yay! And the first one in did poop. lol. Meet my girls… Lola, Wanda, Maryanne, Olive and Tulip.
I have room for one to two more but preferably one. The duck spa gets a little murky as it is. Lol. I think adding one adult to my 3 others may be a nice number of 4. 😬 Anyone hear of an adult female near indiana needing a home lmk!
Ok thank you! No boys planned or here but I may try to find an older female that needs a home. Love the brooding stage but Omgosh I just got done with that a few months ago. Lol! They are so stinking cute I could easily talk myself into 2 babies tho! 😳😃
I have chickens and ducks. My ducks are a female Pekin who is 1-2 (adopted so not precise) and 2 fem khakis. Lola, my Pekin loves her image in the mirror. Am I crazy to think she would like a friend that looks like her? Been thinking of adding a baby Pekin if I can’t find another female to...
I baked with some , brownies, spoon cornbread and yeast rolls…, wow! Lola is quite the addition to our family. She rewards us with her antics and gained trust. Omgosh she is so cute. And she laid me a golden egg! Lol ❤️🥚
Lola, my Pekin, was adopted late spring. She had been dumped in a retention pond and was found hurt. She is fully recovered and the joy of the barnyard! They think she’s bw 1 and 2 years but not exact. On my birthday mid August I found her two first eggs. Ever since she has laid one s day and...
Yes my barred rock is 18 weeks. I found little bitty pinkish eggs two days in a row ( I egg a day) then the past two days…. Nothing. I’ve read rocks do take a bit for eggs to gradually get larger. Jump starting their laying faculties. Lol. My other two 18 week olds are cinnamon queens. Still...
