Wowzer what a WINDY day!!!
Since my last post about 2-4 weeks ago (time sure flies when I stay busy and have fun doing it!), I've lost 6 chickens, and one duckling. The chickens, I believe were to a coyote. We have absolutely no issues with the coyotes since we've fenced the immediate...
Hello everyone!
Goodness, its been a while since I posted anything. Did not realize how much time had gone by. Guess the adage of time flies when having fun holds true!
So much to catch up on reading. Not sure I can get that accomplished!! lol
Been busy busy busy on various projects. The...
"just chickens"
I really do love that on so many levels. he he he
My fluffy-butt buddies are just that, my buddies, since I'm not into show or breeding, etc. Just frenz in the yard with pretty eggs.
Mine were incubator babies! They did just fine. I really did not know they were Serama at the time, and they are mixed: bantam Serama daddy with bantam Brown Partridge Cochin.
Hawksy Roxie adores the egg bucket and always runs to greet me when she sees me coming with it in tow:
I...

Oh sooooo difficult to get good pics of them!!! SMH. lol
Here's Albert Einstein:
Here's Astrid:
Here's Billy Idol:
And the one I posted already, well, since its most likely a Roo, is Kramer. lol
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmk....
I picked up five chicks a few weeks back. Not sure of age, but thinking they were 3-4 weeks old maybe. IDK for sure, though.
the gal I got them from said they were a Plymouth Rock mix, but didn't say what they were mixed with. I didn't care, as I was simply looking for some...
@Yorkshire coop
Thanks for the input! I was suspecting Roo, yet am hoping for a pullet. I have too many Roos as it is. UGH
@rossfam06
That's cool! Albert Einstein, while a Blue Polish, stands as jet black and white hairdo with wild strokes of black in the front. He just LOOKS identical to the...
I am confused about one of my four Blue Polish chicks. They're about 4 weeks old now. Feathered. Color showing on their faces. Top hairdo forming. Two, I am positive are indeed Roos: messy chaotic hairdos and bright red wattles (Albert Einstein and Billy Idol). One, I've positively identified as...
@chicken danz
I will definitely keep all that in mind!!!
My flock free-ranges a fenced area of about 3-4 acres worth. I have some chickens that have proven avid flyers and would go over any small enclosure; yet, with the larger area, they don't seem so interested in going over the perimeter...
I couldn't find it....and that was because its under Blue Isbar! LOL
Sounds like the fragile issue was resolved a long time ago and seems like they are adored among reviewers. The breeder is close to me, so figured might as well give it a shot. Then after looking at and reading up some on...
@kangaroo
Waylon (deceased):
Current Thai mix baby Roos:
Samson -
Goliath (the front black one) then the white and black one is Druscilla (Thia mix pullet)
Saphira (Thai mix pullet)
the other two Thai mix pullets look identical to Delilah and Gracie.
and @kangaroo
We were given two Thai game chicks as well, from a local feed & seed store, as they were supposedly ordered wrong and no one wanted them. Gift with purchase (lol).
Raptor (he lived up to his name) and Gracie. Raptor was GORGEOUS- was he ever! But, when he matured, caused nothing...
I see everyone is "dealing" with the heat! Chicken Danz, I pray you get to feeling better; I cannot imagine bronchitis in this humidity!!!!
My flock seems to be tolerating the heat fairly well; of course, I am out checking on them every few hours if not more and they love to play in the...
I have over 30 from Cackle Hatchery. The straight runs (of 5) I received have been a very good turn out with one breed having only one Roo and the other breed only two. The rest I purchased pullets and so far so good. They even gave me 3 extra surprise ones free. Must've been gift with purchase...
Well, well, well. SIGH!
Good note: New babies hatched out looking adorable as ever, healthy, hungry, and active!!! Half Lavender Ameraucauna/half Silver Laced Wyandotte.
Bad note: Momma Broody, a Black Thai Game hen (Gracie), began trying to kill them!!!! Was a challenge with her pissiness...
