The chickens I got from you have just started laying. I love the olive egg color, darker in person than I could get a good picture of. And the blue egg laying sex links have started also. Still waiting on the legbars to start laying. Just wanted to say Thank You!! I’m so excited to have some...
Sunbeam Xpress Heat is what I got. It has a button that will make it stay on. They have them at Walmart. It’s only 12” X 15”, so its not for very many chicks.
I have my new chicks in the living room next to a window. They are loving the sunlight coming in. I’m using the Heating Pad instead of a heat lamp and they really enjoy that. Can’t wait to get more
Thank you!! They look so comfy under there. Do you have the hearing pad under or on top of the wire? And if it’s under how do you secure it. I did find the thread on here about it. Lots of great ideas, need to head to Walmart
Also, has anyone ever used a heating pad instead of a heat lamp for the brooder? I’d love to not use the heat lamp, with a coal stove our house is warm anyway and the chicks won’t need much warmth. But I’m nervous that the heating pad is also dangerous? What are everyone thoughts?
Hi everyone! I haven’t been on in a long time. We had a raccoon get all our chickens last fall We decided to start fresh this spring. I’m looking for chicks. Legbar, Marans, Olive Egger And Ameracaunas not Easter Egger. I found someone but she’s a little over 2 hours from me. Anyone near State...
We had our first litter of rabbits about 5 weeks ago. That litter didn't open their eyes until they were more than 3 weeks old. We have a litter right now that's 2 weeks old, their eyes have been open for a couple days. Same breed of rabbit. Not sure what the difference is and why this new...
We got some chicks from my daughters classroom today. I have too many chickens!!!! There are 11 4 week olds in my basement, 4 3 week old turkeys and now these 3 bantams. Ugh!! I need to stop collecting animals! Not to mention what's already out in the coop! Anyone have an idea of what we...
I am so happy. We've had the 4, 8 week old ducks in the run with the chickens, but we separated them with a chain link fence for 1 week so everyone could get used to each other. We let the ducks out Saturday morning with the chickens. No problems so far. But the awesome part is the ducks...
I took some pictures of our set up today, thought I would share.
We have six cages, only 4 adult rabbits right now. We plan on doing the same system on the other side of the garage eventually.
Here is our Californian doe with her 3 week old kits, there are 8 of them. They just started...
Lots of pictures today.. Here is a picture of our duck house. We made the nice door in the front but they hate the ramp so they just go in and out the back door. They do go in at night, thank goodness!! I was worried they wouldn't.
We have had the chain link fence separating them from...
I'm glad it's not just us. We got ours when they were 5 weeks old, they are now 8 weeks old and I thought it was because we didn't have them as babies. Hopefully it gets better after they start laying maybe they will calm down.
Finally got the 4 khaki Campbell ducks out of the house yesterday. Yes!! They were really stinking up the basement. We built them their own coop but they will share the run with the chickens. We put up a temporary fence between them and the chickens for now. Chickens are pretty much...
You all were right. I just checked on them this afternoon and a couple of them are opening their eyes. Not much but they are doing it. I just need to have patience. This is my first time with rabbits and I'm worried I'm doing something wrong I guess.
I have 14 day old Californian bunnies, this is my first litter. None of them have their eyes open yet. I'm getting different reports on the internet about when they should open. I thought it was 10-12 days but some people say 2-3 weeks. When have your kits opened their eyes? I think I'm...
OMG!! I wish you hadn't shared her facebook page and that I hadn't gone to it. Her birds are beautiful!!! I've added rabbits, ducks and turkeys already this year (plus 11 chicks but they don't count yet). Now I'm going to have to add some of those brahmas and legbars to my list. LOL
