Hi everyone!
Last night when I went to lock up my girls for the night I noticed I was missing two. I checked the neighbors yard and I saw feathers everywhere and one chicken was dead I assumed the other was as well. I locked the others up and went to bed. When I woke up this morning to let my...
I want to free range my chickens, I have been letting them out for a few hours before sunset to make sure that they return to their coop and tuck themselves in ( which they do ) they do great at sticking together. I would love to allow them to free range most of the day but am fearful of loosing...
So my chickens have been out in their coop for 2 weeks now. The grass that was in the coop is now just poop and dirt. The ladder and the roosts are all dirty and pooped on and I am wondering how in the world to clean all this and make the flooring of the run not just chicken poop. I will do the...
They got to get out for the first time for half an hour yesterday. I do believe the big EE is a roo, but now I am questioning on of our bantams ( not the fuzzy feet) because it wouldn't stop squawking. is that normal?
Oh man! I got two of them, that one is more brown and the other is more black. They were both suppose to be black sex links, then I have two bantams and two amaracuans ( or as I have been told EE )
These two are my Bantams. The top one has feathered feet and is my favorite, loves being held and petted. we call her Lady Grey
Bottom one is Heneritta
Hopefully both Pullets
These two are the one in question. They were in the bin labeled Ameraucanas ( I have been told these are EE ) The bright red combs are what are making me think Roo but from researching I have found a lot of pictures that make it look like that is normal for this breed. I see no waddles forming...
I took a ton of pictures. Hope they help you help me
There are only two in question really the rest I think I know what they are but I will post all 6 just to get some confirmation
Pictures to follow, each bird on their own & a few group photos
Hello
I was going to post pictures of my chickens to try to get a little help on Breed & Gender but they are only 6 weeks old and I didn't know if that was old enough or if I should wait a little longer? According to the bins at TSC I got 2 Black Sex Links, 2 Bantams & 2 Ameraucanas ( I was...
@chicklover1998 Sorry to hear about your rain, we are starting to get our Summer weather so it has been in the 80s-90s range. Wont be much longer before we hit our triple digits
Thank you for your advice, I am one of those over paranoid chick moms. My friend put hers out in the coop too soon...
So I was going to put out my 4 week old chicks in their coop run for a while to let them stretch and play. It is 90 here today but with a slight wind. Is it okay to put them out there? I read somewhere that you shouldn't put them out with wind.
