Never heard of that.
First time hearing of that breed. He fit in so well with the others color wise I was hoping he was the same breed as them. Figured it was a long shot 😔.
Yeah they stay inside the coop in the roost so now wind or rain gets to them. I wanna put a heat lamp up above where I set the food and water out so it will be warm where they eat and drink. As for temps the lows are in the 30s and 40s but one day dips in the high 20s
I have a hen that lays on her eggs all day but but will sleep on them. Will she be able to hatch them or should I pull the eggs. Also it gets in the low 50s at night
Well finally got my chicks from McMurray in today! Been waiting on these for months. Got 6 black australorp and a unknown chick.the white one is the freebie. Gonna have to wait till it gets bigger to figure out what it's is and what size it is. Will be back with pics when it gets bigger so yall...
Been letting my chickens free range the past week. It was very easy to train them. If they get to far I just shake the bag of black soldier fly larva an they come running 🤣 i do the same to get them back in the pen. The ducks are a different story. They don't wanna leave the pen 😂 bag of treats...

Well the first 2 or 3 eggs where layed in the box. The others where layed in the run in various places. 4 where behind the plywood the feeder and waterer where attached too. But they are new to this so I know they are still trying to figure it out. Hoping the eggs will get bigger later but I'm...
Guess I'm gonna try to revive this thread lol. I got 6 black austrolorps coming oct 2. Been waiting on these babies for months now cause they been sold out. I'm excited to see what I get. I'd luv to have an ameracauna rooster to go with my blue and speckled ones.
Update: forgot to come back here but they are all doing great. Had to relocate them to another bigger pen and one with a zip up top. These ameraucana are definitely different than my lavender orpingtons. They are very active and energetic and can't jump extremely high. They are also more...
Ok last night I was picking up my chicks checking them out for any issues and I noticed one had the pasty but and pretty good. I cleaned off as much as I could but it had hardened. I got the vent cleaned off and she can poop freely and to help out I put a light layer of olive oil on the poop to...
