I have 30 chickens currently in our LF coop. I would like to what types of feeders others use with this sized flock that doesn't waste the feed all over the ground. Prices of feed are not getting any better and I need to be frugal. My flock free ranges all day for added information.
Mine does the same thing, I used vaseline on the Oring. It still gets tight every once in a while. My biggest beef with it is cleaning under the jug, what a pain in the ^$$.
These two I call the twins. Got them together and haven’t quite determined their personalities yet. BUT, what’s with the difference tail feathers? One is kinda looking like roo’s tail feather (curved) while other seems like all the other pulleys? She doesn’t have a larger comb or the saddle...
This little one was only 2 out of 8 eggs I received in the mail. Had a saddle sac but developed quite nicely up till hatching day? I candled at day 20 (other egg had hatched) so I thought for sure this one would be right behind her. Egg was pretty full compared to air sac, I saw no movement...
We have this single lil one hatched under a broody hen. Started with 8 eggs, only two passed the 18 day test and this one is only hatched. Wondering if we have an Ana or Oleg? ( granddaughter had the task of naming) :celebrate
:weeI've got piping!!!! Stella has been sitting on 2 eggs since lockdown Saturday. I've checked on her daily, candled them day 18, still movement although my bantam seems very small in the egg and has a saddle air sac so not sure if he will be ok? BUT the cuckoo polish has broken the shell on...
I just received BBS Bantam Ameraucanas eggs along with polish hatching eggs. Does anyone have pics of this chicken AND how to they fare with standard sized chickens?
This is JaLo, who was sold to me as a Olive Egger pullet. Next to her is one of the "twins" I call them because I can't tell them apart yet :lau what breed and/or gender do you think she is?
question, is there a day by day how to somewhere on this website? Should I move my broody hen away from the other girls? When is the best time to move her during all this? UGH so many questions!
Eggs arrived in mail today!!!!! Since I'm a newby what do I do first? Should I candle them? I know I'm suppose to let them sit for 24hrs little side down, correct?
Hello :frow wanted to jump right in! I will soon to be the proud mother of 6 polish eggs. Hoping to receive Khaki & Cuckoo colors? I have a broody hen right now, her name is Stella, she is a Golden Laced Wyandotte, fat and sassy and if memory serves me 2 seasons old. Never in my wildest...
