It's very likely she's a cross breed as I did get some Easter Eggers from the same person. I just love her coloring. Her eggs are a very light brown/ tan color.
Hi guys, I have a hen who has hatched some babies. I have no idea what breed she is as I got her last year from someone on Craigslist. Can somebody help me?
They are so sweet and adorable! We found homes for them already and they will be going on Friday. They all seem nice and healthy, no defects, beautiful babies. ❤️ we also FINALLY got doughnut (the beggar) to go into our coop with her babies! She's a good momma.
I converted a large shed/tractor garage. It's made of wood, concrete floors, and hubby installed a few windows. Has electricity for a brooder and so I can work on it. Put in some nesting boxes made from scrap wood. We got this house in February. Kept our chicks inside until they were about 10...
I have an update! Momma is still sitting on her babies but the other female that bugs me for food.... she walked home with 17 babies this morning. I let her keep 2 babies and I put the others in a brooder to find homes. We just can't have that many ducks. They are safe though, I make sure they...
I honestly didn't think hawks were getting my chickens either until I saw it with my own eyes. But the clump of feathers, I did have a rooster pull a clump like that out of one of my chickens he was chasing off of her neck. It could be a possum or raccoons?
Oh for sure. We planned on putting up fencing, the whole property has been a lot of work. We just bought the house in February. But the next step for the coop is putting a big fenced area, our main issue has been hawks. Right now all of our birds free range and go to bed by themselves and we...
Yeah, I have a place for her, it's just they don't seem interested in getting cooped up at night. If I try to persuade them into going to the coop or anything they avoid it or will fly off.
Oh and I know, lol, we had that issue with chickens when we would miss an egg here or there, had to go catch the chicks before the other chickens pecked it. I have heat lamps and all that, I raised my other ducks from ducklings, so I'm hoping if they do hatch that I'll be able to see them when...
I honestly think they were dumped. I have a huge barn/shed that's actually 2 building combined for the birds and we do have a divider in-between. I'll be watching daily to see how things go. If I had an incubator I would bring the eggs in but we don't have any. I used to incubate chicks and had...
I have tried getting them to roost in the coop we have, they go in there to eat sometimes or see what I'm doing. They won't sleep in there though. Dad has been keeping watch outside of her nest. They are friendly but cautious. They won't let us pet them or anything but they will follow us for...
