Had to replace one of my hens, that turned out to be a Roo instead.
I was given this hen from kinfolk to replace him, but I'd like to know what I have. Ameraucana? Easter Egger?
Doesn't really matter to me, as long as she's a decent layer, but my curiosity is up.
What is she?
Good point.
That cooler you see, is in front of a large door for the run. I could set the dog crate, inside the run. That way it also has the protection of the hardware cloth surrounding the run.
Thanks!
I haven't even thought about putting my current hen, in the dog crate!
Right now, I'm leaning towards just getting one more, instead of two. I don't want them to be so crowded it's uncomfortable for them.
At this point, my inclination is to get one more, put them together late in the...
I bought two pullets, and one turned out to be a Rooster!
I have successfully managed to re-home the rooster, and he now has 6 lady friends. I'm sure he's happy!
My questions concerns my replacement hen, or hens.
First question, my coop floor is 3'x4', and my run is 4'x9', not counting the...
I need to re-home a Rhode Island Red Rooster. Covington/Newton county area.
I only have room for two chickens, and of course a hen/roo ratio of one to one, just won't work!
No rehoming fee, free, and if you're in Newton County, I'll bring him to you. I have no problem if you're wanting him...
What worked for me was a combination of two things. Improving the ventilation of the coop, and putting an LED light inside on a timer. The light comes on around 6:00 and goes off around 9:30. The day I installed the light, is the day they started sleeping inside.
I’m pretty sure. This picture is a month old, and she’s the one closest to us. Not where I can go take a pic right this minute. ( The pics of the roo earlier in the post were made today). She’s still smaller, and doesn’t have near the comb and wattles as the roo. I do think she’s a she.
Ahh…. Maybe she was, and I read it the wrong way.
Guy I bought from really was a nice guy, and spent time with me, knowing I was a first timer. I don’t believe he did it on purpose, however I’ll find my replacement somewhere else. 😊
Care to expound on your statement?
I don’t quite see what makes me a terrible person because I only have room for two, and want them both to be hens.
I thought finding him a home where someone has more room, who actually wants a rooster would be the right thing to do.
What would be your...
