I have a barred rock that i noticed sounds congested. She could possibly be wheezing. She is making little sneezing sounds. It has been hot, humid and rainy here in florida. We noticed her making different noises for the past few days, but since she is young we thought it was her going from her...
I bought 3 of these littles and were told that they were welsummers. But someone told me that welsummers have yellow legs.. these girls have whitish pink legs with a lil bit of yellow to them.
If they are not welsummers, what could they be?
Before easter, i just happened to find some plain white fake eggs. Not the colored kind that you fill with candy, they were just plain eggs that kids could dye instead of using hard boiled eggs, so i snatched up a dozen so that id be prepared when it was time for the girls to start laying. Im...
We got 2 white eggs on thursday and havent gotten a white egg since. We have been getting a brown egg a day since friday tho. Why would my 2 leghorn girls stop laying but my red lays everyday? They are about 18-19 weeks
Yes, the smaller one is cracked.. i found them in the same box. So i guess one of my girls laid her egg, then the other one went in after and she must have stepped on the first egg while she was laying hers. We went and got some oyster shells to offer them to harden the shells. Hopefully we wont...
Nope, our roo is the white leghorn in the back.. Fluff grew her comb in the past week or 2. I knew our roo was a roo when he was about 4-6 weeks old.. he was more agressive.. not really towards me or anyone else, but if i was offering snacks.. he pecked at it harder.. marshmallow is growing her...
I noticed a week ago that q of my girls combs start growing and becoming red. Tuesday we put in our nesting box and added fake eggs that i got around easter time.. i checked the boxes this morning and wouldnt you know, i found 2 eggs... so exciting!
I already enjoyed my chickens and love them dearly, but there is a special kind of feeling when you see that first egg in the box for the first time.. i not only found 1 egg, but 2. They were small and in the same box. 1 was broken, but i could tell no one pecked at it. There must have been a...
We just recently got 7 new chicks. 5 of them are about 4 weeks old and the other 2 are about 2-3 months old. The group of the 5 younger, we got from 1 person, so they are in their own quarantine area. 1 of the 2-3 month olds we got from another person, so she is by herself and the other 2-3...
What do you mean that "Many of us that seem to always have young chickens with the flock never feed Layer but go this route."?
I have older chickens who are getting to laying age, but i also have 4 chicks in with them(EE and black australorps) that are about 3-4 weeks younger that will not lay...
I will check out their legs today. What would the be if they are not welsummers? They are still a little young and i tried to choose the ones with the smallest combs.
roost and new nesting box!! Love it and cant wait to see eggs in it!!
^updated pictures of my 2 leghorns with their growing combs. Any idea on egg time?
