    Cracked Break in 16 week RIR pullet

    Thanks. Did you seperate her or just keep a watch? I was afraid it might break off completely and cause feeding problems.

    Cracked Break in 16 week RIR pullet

    Today noticed a crack in my pullets beak. Not sure what happened. This is my first flock so looking for confirmation on treatment. This repair seems like what mine needs. Patch with superglue. https://the-chicken-chick.com/repairing-chickens-broken-beak/ Thanks in advance!

    Wow! I didn’t expect production to decline like that overall! Following along on the progress. Learning so much everyday!

    Agreed. How is your broody doing with the eggs? Are you using an incubator too?

    Hysop, I think it is supply and demand. With hatcheries sold out the prices keep rising. In my case I paid $3.95 for RIR day old pullets. I wanted layers but did want more of a heritage look even though I was never going to show them. All have bent combs which isn’t a breed standard. In hind...

    Crooked Comb

    Thanks! Not showing him just curious because all the pictures of RIR seemed to be really straight. He was one of my 6 pullets from the feed store so unexpected. I never heard about summer comb. Since I am in Georgia and it is already HOT he will likely end up with a rather large comb...

    Crooked Comb

    Hello! First time raising chickens. I have a 8 week old RIR. Comb looks crooked. Will it grow out straight or should I expect is to lean to the side? My husband is laughing at me for even asking this btw!! Had to catch him taking a dirt bath to get a decent picture.

    Thanks! I will try doing that. I am a firm believer that animals have their own personalities they don’t follow a mold. I agree pit bulls are smart and very loving.

    Thanks! We ordered back in March and was fortunate to get it before it sold out. This is my first time being a chicken lady and my dog is 6 years old. He hasn’t figured out if they are food or not. He is always licking his lips around them!

    Update: I got 6 RIR pullet chicks April16th. After crazy weather, waiting on some cleaning of trees, finally got the coop in good enough order to move in the chicks. Turns out I have 5 pullets and a Roo. They grew fast! Was hard to leave them last night but happy to have them out of the house!

    Give them a call not sure how many chicks were backed out on and they will put you on a list if more people back out to don’t pick up by Saturday.
