I had marbles in the water but I just took them out bc I thought maybe it looked to much like an eye. He doesn’t run over to them to peck their eyes. It’s more of when they are eye to eye when eating or perching that he’ll notice the eye and peck it.
When I let him out to mingle I try to tap the back of his neck and say no firmly. The problem is I’m not out there all day I guess. He is getting better but still pecks when all of the sudden they are eye to eye.
This little BS still has a thing with eye balls. 🤦🏻♀️ He is still separated from the 3 older ones with wire for their safety. I let him out to mingle and just when I think he’s not going to peck an eye he does. Ugh! Will this one ever learn that eyeballs are attached?!?!🙄 I hate seeing him...
I am sorry to hear about your hen. That is so sad.
My broody hen is getting off the nest at least once a day to eat, drink, etc. That's how an egg got broken. Another hen went to lay an egg in her nest and when she got off it was broken. I am assuming it was more fragile since it was never...
Hi there! I currently have 2 peafowl eggs under a broody hen and I am debating on moving them inside and placing them in my incubator until lock down and then moving them back under her for hatch. The reason for this is because I had 3 eggs and one got broken while she was on her daily outing by...
I really hope she ends up being a frizzle. My daughter has been wanting one so when our local feed store had frizzled chicks we jumped! I should have bought more than one for a better chance having frizzle feathers. 🥴
We got our first frizzle today! She is 2/3 days old. I was wondering if anyone knew what breed she was? She does have feathered feet. Cochin? Pekin? Our local feed store just said they were assorted frizzles.
My 4 TSC bantams are about 4 weeks old and I thought I would see if anyone had any gender guesses. The Black Rosecomb bantam I’m guessing cockerel because his comb is turning pink and waddles are coming in. The golden laced Seabright I am guessing pullet just based on personality but honestly...
About 4 weeks old and still gender guessing. Lol. I feel like the Black Rosecomb is a little cockerel since the comb is turning red but I am still not sure on the others. I have read that at 6 weeks the cochin’s comb will turn red if it’s a cockerel or stay yellow if it’s a pullet. Any guesses?
I’m curious about the black one’s comb. It looks different than the silver one’s. Originally, I thought maybe they were the same breed but I don’t think so anymore. They are 3 weeks now and getting a bigger brooder tomorrow.
Howdy! I got 4 bantams at Tractor Supply today and I’m curious if anyone knows the breeds. The 1st photo I am thinking is a Golden Laced Seabright. The 3rd one has feathered feet so maybe a Cochin? Anyone have any guesses? Thank you!
