Hey guys - coop is gone, as well as some of the silkies. If I have to move and still have these, well, *gulp*
-lets just say I do not need that many chicken dinners!
I will let them go in smaller quantities - three or more, but you would need to take at least one rooster.
1 Lav English Orp...
I know you said nevermind, but I would consider it - my polish are adorable.... no WC Black roos, though.
Yes, it is a serama, champion lines, a beautiful bird.
Oops! The chickens are in North Ridgeville, about 25 min south west of Cleveland.
I will drive to meet within a reasonable distance. Coop would need to be picked up
HELP!
One minute I am looking to add to my flock and the next minute I need to rehome them all. My landlord, who has been fine with chickens for two years, has decided to sell and has told me that the chickens will make it difficult to do so, so I must get rid of them.
Please, I don't want to...
Hey guys - posted in the classifieds but haven't gotten any responses, which is a bit weird to me.....
I am looking for a LARGE fowl rooster....a BIG boy....needs to have a good personality because I have kids and he'll be free range.... Jersey Giant, Orpington, (no English or bantam), LF...
I have not seen hide nor hair of our fox of last week. The two injured Jersey Giants hens that survived have stopped eating, so i suspect that they have decided to give up.
I did chase on foot when it happened, and I think that surprised the fox. That may keep him away for a bit. We have a BIG...
...this sounds strange, a bird of prey had stolen a duck egg for a snack. Mid flight, the bird dropped the egg and , in the words of my friend - "a **** duck popped out!"
So he sent me a message, knowing I have all kinds of fowl, including ducks. Problem is, I am 1500 miles away. I know nothing...
I'm afraid I dont.. I hear they do them 3 or 4 times a year but I have not been to one before. I also hear there are a lot of different animals present.
AAAAAGH!
I came home yesterday from work around 3:30...wet and rainy but warmer, so the chickens were out finding worms and the like.
I get a voicemail on my phone and begin to check it...I'm listening to the VM and staring out the window when I see a fox, out in the open plain as day...
Patience and time. They will probably make some noises at the least, but really, it is up to the bird.
When I was training birds we would give ourselves months to tame a bird that was skittish, and thats with working every day around the birds.
A calm atmosphere, patience, and time. They'll...
1. What other foods should I give it? I read I should feed it pellets, but other websites say not to. Can anyone clear this up? Mum bought some cockatiel seeds:
The debate over pellets and seeds is a silly one. It is widely known that a pellet diet is better nutritionally, but good luck...
Swainsens toucans are a better price point then the Toco for a true toucan. But you are going to have trouble getting even the Toucanets and Aracaris for $1500. In fact, Im gonna say those aren't toucans - like Chickerdoodle said - they are up near ten grand for Tocos.
Oh, and be prepared for...
Yep - all the replies here are correct. It isn't an impossible task to handfeed a cockatiel from day one, but it isnt something for the beginning hand feeder. All the supplies you need are readily available in most big pet stores, except the syringe size you will need - you can get those at the...
...a seed based diet, then millet is going to make up the basis.
Of course, you are going to want to introduce fresh foods, as the seed isn't the *best* for them. That said, they are seed eating birds in the wild, not like our chickens that are omnivorous.
If you want to introduce fresh...
I just ran to the hardware store and bought 4 more of the cheap thermometers - one digital and three of the classic kind. (all dry bulb!)
I ran into issues with humidity stability in the past when I was breeding serama, which are kind of notoriously sensitive (which is why I bought the auto...
