OK. We used to have an australorp, and I am not sure if it was the breeder, but she was always sick and hiding and didn't seem to do well with the heat. Where could I get some?
Hi there! I just discovered this thread and have some questions. We have a flock of four, and will be getting rid of 2 that have shown aggression and are still not laying after 35 weeks. We are looking to buy 6-8 more chicks and build an upgraded coop that can accommodate them.
What breeds...
:lau I know all chickens make noise. We live in an HOA so we need some breeds that are a little quieter. My leghorn mix is always throwing fits over who knows what, and screams all day, and my Easter Egger likes to join in when they are protesting.:lol:
Hi, I am not sure if this is in the right forum, but I have a few questions on reestablishing flocks. We have had some issues with our current flock of four which originally started out at 8. We are getting rid of 2 hens that are not laying and rude, and want to add 6-8 more chickens and build...
I agree with Rickba. Try and lubricate the egg with some oil (preferably coconut or olive) and use a syringe to insert it into her vent. Sorry this happened:(
I know this is an old post, but I wanted to know if anyone knows the dosage for collodial silver? My chicken has been sick for almost a week and I think she would benefit form some silver.
So, today my leghorn almost went broody. She hopped into the nest like she always does, but as I reached under her to check for eggs, she hissed at me.
Then, about an hour later, she off again, singing an egg song, but no egg!:confused:
Don't worry. The eggs will come eventually;) Mine started around 24 weeks or so, so you may have a couple more weeks to another month. Have yours started squatting or sitting on the fake eggs?
I have a leghorn who is about 31 weeks and still no eggs:barnie
We are not allowed to have chickens in our city, and our HOA does not know yet. However, my sister has autism and they serve as a therapy source for her. So, if the HOA ever gets involved we might have to involve the city. I am sorry that the town is not letting you have the number you want:(
