They are white and have no red feathers. They have very large legs. One just died yesterday so i only have one left anyway. so it doesn't seem like i'll have this problem very long. I just won't get those chickens again.
Yes they were white. I think that the salesperson who sold them to me didn't know what he was talking about when he said they were egg layers though. They don' t lay very often and they are very fat and will eat a lot!!! They are Golden Cross, or thats what the label said on the box.
No they were not vaccinated, i got them at a Co-op. They are Golden-Cross pullets. ABout 6 hens and 1 rooster. That link does sound about right. Should my surviving chickens be alright now after 4 months? Or are they still in danger?
Alright, about four months ago when my chickens were dieing when they were 3 months old. I had 18, then about half of them just layed on the ground and wouldn't move. My mom thought it was because they were too fat to get up. But their legs didn't move and were very reluctant to move at all...
Okay heres a new one.
Bob has this ultra-secret bathroom that no one knows about. He goes through the secret passage way and down the hall and gets to his water-proof, water-tight door. He goes inside the total concrete room with no windows and no holes in the floor and a sink and a toilet and...
Well, i have a number game for you, see if you can figure it out!
1 is 3, 3 is 5, 5 is 4, and 4 is the magic number
Why is 4 the magic number and how did i get those numbers??
(i know this isn't a continuous game.... but i wanted to see who could get it.)
i just heard recently that the nesting boxes need to have little 1 inch sides around the open shelf platform to keep the shavings in and the chicken warm and comfy when they nest. Is this what i am supposed to do?
Although i am sad that my white chickens will die soon, at least i will be able to get what i want next year. Thanks!!
Oh, another quick Q, i have nesting boxes that are shelves makeshifted into boxes. Will this lay better than the ones on the ground. The highest box is about 5-feet high, should...
Yea i really like the black ones, i'll get them again next spring too.
So from what i have heard so far you guys think they have all stopped laying b/c of either the cold or they are now molting?? Does that sound about right? I haven't seen any difference in their feathers so far. Is this normal?
Sorry about being rude earlier.
The store i got my chickens from said the were Golden Cross Pullets and that they were laying chickens. SO i think the sales person just didn't know what he was talking about. But the new ones my dad got me because a couple died are black speckeld and tiny...
I already know what happened to my chickens dieing. I fed them to much and they got to fat for their legs and were unable to eat. But I am asking about the hens i have now and if them not laying eggs is due to the freezing temp. or the dead rooster. Has this been known to happen?
Well, sad story. First time Chicken raiser, and i started with 18 chickens in April. Well, since then 12 have died. (i know what i did then), but recently my only rooster died with no provocation, then my hens stopped laying altogether. Could this be because of my rooster dieing, or are my...
