If anyone could give me advice I would really appreciate it. I can't find a vet willing to see a duck and fix a dislocation. The vet I worked for has even called several of his contacts and we haven't had any luck.
I will start off by saying I have a little knowledge about animal medical care, I have been a vet tech for a long time, but ducks and chickens I am totally clueless with LOL We went out of town Friday night and came home Sunday. While we were gone my dad came over to check on the chickens and...
Thanks! I knew there would be some pecking and fighting but they were relentless yesterday. I will put some more hiding spots and try one at a time. It scares me because the bantams are so much smaller than my big girls.
Hi I have 5 Bantam chicks (7 weeks) that I would like to introduce to my older (11-12 weeks) barred rocks and 3 ducks about the same age. I have done "see but don't touch" since we got the bantams when they were days old, and yesterday I tried to open the cage wide enough that the bantams could...
Thanks, that is what I figured I guess I just needed someone else to say for sure LOL I am so happy the Cochin is a hen, I was really bummed a few weeks ago when she looked to be growing a large comb and waddles.. I would love to hatch some eggs from her and the frizzle.
Chick #1 Frizzel-I am positive its a roo
Chick #2 self blue game bantam- also positive a roo
Now on to the chicks I am unsure about....
Chick #3 dark brahma bantam, I think a hen because of the color.
Chick #4 white Cochin I am thinking a hen but a few weeks ago I was positive it was a...
Thanks, I have been changing the feed and washing the feeder 2X a day. They are still inside most of the day so its a little easier to make sure they always have clean/ fresh food
Thanks everyone, the chicks seem to be eating it without a problem. I had heard mixed things on weather it was OK to feed wetted feeds to chicks but so far no problems!
I have 5 bantam chicks. They are still tiny, only about 5-6 weeks old. I bought a 50 pound bag of feed because I also have 4 Barred Rock chickens, and 3 ducks that are older. My problem is that when I bought the bag I did not realize that it was pellets not crumbles. My bantams seem to be having...
Awesome! Thanks for all your help. I am really hoping I don't end up with all roosters. I have heard several people say that TS sells mostly bantam roosters in their straight run.
Until I bought my 5 bantams I had no idea how many different bantams breeds there were! I ended up with a frizzle and I am absolutely in love! I will be getting more for sure!
The ones I seen when I googled the breed they are more brown and have white necks... Maybe its still a Dark Brahma, I am just not familiar with the breed
