Hi, thank you. She definitely could have fallen off the perch. My girls are fussy at getting the space they want. My gut reaction was a broken neck resulting from a fall. I'm hoping that is it and not a horrible disease.
hi everyone, I'm hoping someone will have some ideas about what happened to my Molly. I went to collect eggs and do my evening lock up and found one of my aracanas on the floor of the coop under the roosts. She was laying flat with her head at a strange angle and she did not try and stand or get...
I just got some new chicks to increase my flock and 2 are Golden sex links, from the pictures they look very much like my new hampshires, although the chicks are more golden than my new hampshires were.
I have 10 chickens all about 8 months old, 8 have been laying for approximately 6 weeks my 2 aracanas not yet. I have been told they are known to take their time
This is Shirley a New Hampshire beauty. In this photo she is 10 weeks old. She has 3 sisters, Tracy, Sharon and Tinkerbell and they were all loving a relaxing few minutes under the heat lamp. I love my girls [/IMG]
I have 4 eleven week old New Hampshires that all look very similar and no signs of crowing yet, however something about this one makes me think it might be a boy. We are hoping all girls, any thoughts?
I think roosting depends, my new hampshires didn't start roosting until they were about 9 weeks but my smaller chicks, black sex links and araucanas all are roosting and they are only 4 weeks. Sorry not much help! Lol
