    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    My chickens give me joy, no amount of money can buy that. Now, if they'd stop molting and start laying! :barnie

    Smartie! Actually I might try that. I've just used my fingers, and the dough is SO elastic that it doesn't separate where I want it to.

    Foster (not broody) momma reassuring young pullets after they had their leg bands switched for bigger ones. Oh, the horror!

    While I was cleaning up the last green bean vines, I uncovered a couple small sweet potatoes from the adjoining bed. I wound up digging up the entire crop! All this from two tubers, store-bought I think. They're now in the shed to cure, hopefully.

    Changed leg bands on the OEGB pullets last night, after dark. I was wearing my red light headlamp, and Julia and Dinah fussed some but were mostly compliant. However, Phoebe screamed and fussed as if I were torturing her. Then they needed comfort after the ordeal! :gig

    Leg bands are switched out. Dinah and Julia only fussed a little, but Phoebe was screaming as if she were being tortured! Needing comfort after the ordeal!!! :gig

    Julia and Phoebe. Their leg bands are looking a little tight. I need to go out after dark to take the pullets off the roost, and change the bands.

    Slide the chicks under the broody after dark. I've done that four times in the last two years...worked with 3 different hens!

    Your 2025 Garden

    Still so dry here, no measurable rain in a month. I lost one Chinese cabbage, possibly a second in bed #1. Bed #4 is doing much better. Collards on left, Chinese cabbage on right. I've not replanted my carrots and beets, it's too dry.

    This chicken is not dead

    We had a tuxedo cat my mom named Sambo, not aware that it might be considered derogatory. He became Sam.

    I bought a cantaloupe, sliced it up, fed the seed goop to the hens, who loved it. Yesterday, after eating a couple slices I took the remaing rind to the coops, which was gratefully accepted. In the bottom of the container there was some melon juice. I held the container close to the ground...

    I felt so sorry for him, the hens were not nice, but it worked out well. From July ⬆️ Zack is good with his chicks. His own father tried to kill him.

    Zaccheus was one of five cockerels hatched in April 2024. After I culled his sire, Samuel, Zack was raised/trained by the hens. He was not allowed to roost with them, he got good at hiding and dodging. But as he grew older, the hens started tolerating him. And then accepted him as their leader...

    Baked Sunday afternoon, did not let the loaves over-proof this time: I have a hard time splitting the dough evenly, so some loaves look regular, and some are ugly. They taste fine. The only grocery that carries rye flour is Publix, across town and in an area I avoid as it's next to the Mall...

    North Carolina Free Rehomings

    They're 8 weeks old, and I am ready to reduce the drama in the coop. The cockerels are not aggressive, just dramatic, and the hens are not amused. They will lose most of the white with their adult plumage. Pitt County, eastern NC.

    North Carolina

    I think I am ready to rehome a couple of the cockerels. They're not aggressive or bumping chests yet, but they're SO dramatic that it appears they're irritaing the adults. Zack is handling it well, but the hens are not. The white chests will disappear with their adult feathers. Eastern NC...

    All my birds are bantams. My Dominiques make soft "honking" sounds, my Speckled Sussex "chatter", so the OEGB "Pip-pip" is new to me.
