The answer to your question...YES! I had a hawk kill my hen, my mom stopped him from taking her, and he was determined to get his dinner back! For the rest of the evening he tried! We were ALL outside, 5 of us... He didn't care!
The other problem i had...i have pigeon's...i was standing outside...
I was just at the vet for one of my chickens. She prescribed some antibiotics for my chickens illness. She told me that the dosage for a chicken is higher than that for an dog cause chicken's metabolize the antibiotics differently. I'm not good at math like the rest of you all, but she gave me...
I have a few more pictures. If you look at my original post with the pictures, you can see the comb I was talking about....wide, and flat...?
But the other 2 have single combs like my Serama's...
Here are some pictures...
So, here's the other thing... They are from Hoover Hatchery...I don't think they sell the White faced Black Spanish...
When I pulled the images up on the internet, I was excited that they might be the White faced Black Spanish chick's... So, that narrows the field.
Ok... So 1 has a single comb that looks like a Serama (I have 3)... The other 3 have the flat wide comb...
I looked then up on the internet... Just put in "black and white bantam chick"... And the closest I saw was Japanese bantam. Although I didn't see OEGB. So I'll go look that up! But I've...
Lol... You said you never saw a hen leave her nest after day 16 then go back and sit on the eggs! Well...I would like to introduce you to my hen, Presley! She's a silkie hen, her first time being broody... And today was day 20! Not only did she leave her nest, and the eggs were VERY COLD, but...
I'm trying to build this coop....my friend wanted to know the dimensions....you put that it's 4ft wide by 6ft long....but what is the side from the bottom to the foof...on both slants...things like that...if you could tell me that would be helpful. Thank you very much!!! Jacquie
Found your pictures on how to build a coop...LOVE IT!!! I am getting the material together to try and make my own....Would you mind if I have any questions, could I contact you?
Anyways, thank you for posting the pictures of making your coop. Jacquie
I have the Exact same problem with my rooster. The black stuff looks sticky. My boy doesn't look this bad...but it doesn't seem to be fowl pox, cause they aren't scabs. And he's the ONLY roo, so no one should be fighting with him! He's had them before, and then it just goes away. Except this...
I was told to use it. My boy has canker sores. And rather than give All my chickens medication to get rid of it, I think this is a better idea! Antibiotics don't work for this...and I'm not sure who has it and how doesn't....so it just makes sense to use CS every once in awhile! And that other...
Lol....wow, that didn't help! Again, I understand what it's saying, but I can not figure out how I decide an amount to use? So if I use 3/4 of a Teaspoon how do I figure out how much water? I get that it says ' one part to every 1000 parts. This is what I can't figure out? I'm sure I'm stupid...
Can you help me with that ratio thing! Lol...I see it on lots of my chicken products. What I don't understand is what does the 1000 stand for? How do I know if that's a gallon or litre? I hope I don't sound stupid...lol...thank you! :)
Copper sulfate is antimicrobial antibacterial etc...and you can use it to prevent "canker sores" in chickens. They get a certain bacteria from wild birds drinking their water and using copper sulfate cures it. It can help cure Several illnesses, in lots of animals. Just Google it. It's great to...
You are EXACTLY who I've been looking for then! Besides agreeing that that statement was very silly! "Scratch the egg shell, but don't put running water on it" Wth? Lol....anyways....This is my second hatch. I have 12 sillies eggs, and I've read both sides to the argument. If the hen sits on...
