I am a rising sophomore in high school and created this coop for a year long freshman project. I live in a urban city in NJ and have 2 Buff Orpingtons, 1 Silver Cuckoo Maran, and 2 Silkies. I had a small coop, online bought coop, but made a bigger one and got the silkies. Here are pictures...
I am doing a research project and was just wondering if Hurricane Sandy had an effect on your chicken's egg production. It did on mine so I am looking for more opinions! Thanks
One of my buff orpingtons hens went broody on unfertilized eggs. How can I get her unbroody? I tried putting ice under her and blocking off her nest for a couple of hours but it didn't work.
I just got back from a vacation and I came back to see one of my buff orpingtons had dried blood on the top of her beak and part of her beak gone. Is she okay? What do you think happened? I have a fox in my area.
One of my chicks just hatched, it is really weak. It kinda falls over when it walks. Its about 25 hours old. She is in the brooder and is dry. IS she fine?
How long should i keep a chick hatched last night at 6 in the incubator????? Also the chick has a black thing on her butt. it is like 3 cm long. What is that and what should i do with it????
Is a cuckoo maran egg?. I have two Buff Orpingtons and a cuckoo maran and was wondering if this is the marans egg or one of my BOs. It would be the cuckoo marans first egg.
Both of these pics are of the same egg.
I have never head of this, usually at 7 months the hens have at least a small comb. I have a 7 month old hen now and her comb is huge and she is laying.
