I forgot to add they are just over 3 months old now. Not sure if I have to wait longer before I can tell. These were the first chicks I've ever had. We got our leghorns when they were already laying, we hatched these babies after ordering them from TripleJFarms
The one in the back is my ameraucana, chocobo. This is the only one that I am unsure of, I know the one in the picture with the brown, Ollie, one of my 3 olive eggers is a roo,, the other 2 seem to be pullets, and I'm hoping this is too :)
Thanks!
Thank you, I'm still so upset over it. I normally stay out with them, and I don't know what I was thinking. The instant I saw the eagle my heart sank. Hopefully this will finally light a fire under my husbands *butt* and get him to build a caged in area where they can roam
I posted a while ago how a fox got one of my hens, well today I lost one of my 8 week old olive egger chicks, it was my girl that was bullied by my leghorns about a month ago, who I didn't think was going to live, but managed to make a full recovery, only to be taken away from me today by a...
It is a red fox, and I don't want to shoot it, and I don't plan on having guns in my house with my children. But if it does come to that, I will do what I have to do, though I haven't seen it come back since that morning. It didn't actually get to eat the hen it killed, when we scared it off, we...
I do know how to use a gun, however I don't have one, it is still at my dads house, 3 hours away. My mom freaked out when I told her about it, and that I wanted to shoot it, and said it was illegal to shoot a fox, I haven't had much time to look into it though.
Are you sure I shouldn't be...
I've also offered to pick up a trap, and they told me they do not lend them out anymore because they had issues with them a few years back, but didn't really go into detail. The officer they assigned to it called me, and said he'd be out in the next few days, and apparently knows my father in...
He didn't actually get into our coop, we haven't had a problem before, and usually let the chickens out around the yard, the fox came about 5 feet from our deck after them. Then came back a few times and it stood at the tree line, taunting me after we scared it off. It didn't even care that we...
Had a fox get into my chickens the other day, killed one, and took the tail off another DNR is supposed to come set a live trap and get rid of it, but it's been 2 days and I haven't seen them yet. It was a big fox, half the size of my dog, if they don't come soon, I'm probably going to freak...
I was just outside with her, she is doing amazing! Her wound is healing quick and the other 3 chicks surrounded her and they all cuddled for the rest of the day
