Just an update, I contacted Cackle Hatchery, and even though I wasn't upset about the mix up they did a reship so I will get my standard Cochin chicks tomorrow. They are wonderful to deal with I wasn't even expecting it just thought I would let them know and I was just gonna try again next...
Awesome!! One concern I have is my other chickens are cuckoo marans, will they do OK together or should I separate them? I was considering making them there own little coop?
Ok so know that I know they are Silkies I'm starting from scratch with knowledge, how do I know if they are bantams? I ordered them from Cackle as standard Cochins so I don't know?
First EE egg my BOs have been laying for a bit but so excited!! A perfect lil robins blue egg or as my 2 yr old son says mom the egg is the same as Thomas!!
I am so excited I got a light khaki colored eggs a few days ago and then today when I got home from work I had a perfect little oblong shaped robin colored blue egg!! Thats what Ive been waiting for, for almost 6 months Im so excited!!!!
Does anyone have an EE who lays a light khaki colored egg? Im not sure if it is a BO eggs or my lil white EE egg its not quite brown but not quite white so Im gonna call the color light khaki! If its my EE I would be so excited I have been waiting and waiting for one of them to lay!!
I got my first egg from my BO about 3 and a half weeks ago (my barred rocks were laying when I got them) and then yesterday when I came home from work there was a little perfect brown egg in the nest box with my barred rock daily egg and of course my BO egg was in the other nest box I am so...
Enjoy it's so fun to get them in the mail!! My husband just laughed and laughed he thought it was the funniest thing in the world to get chicks in the mail!
Ok so now that my chicks are 5wks old I have been putting them in with the big girls and everyone is doing really well but my concern is what do you do about there food? The big girls are 23 wks old and on laying mash I was told not to give this to the chicks do I need to seperate them until...
My EE and my BO are the sweetest they will even let my 2 yr old son pick them up the BO roo I had was really agressive but once we got rid of him my BO hens just follow me around I even added in 3 4wk old chicks and they dont pick on them or anything they are my favorite breeds!
