I just posted about your birds, on Facebook. One of our group replied you were going to Brighton. I might be interested in getting a few from you. Can we chat? I will send you a pm
Woohoo! Congrats!
I agree with the Sand suggestion. We have a dirt floor (wire underneath), and sand on top of that. It works GREAT. And San in the wet parts of the run.
Glad you're ok. So scary!
We have two really mean roos, that are kept together in an x-pen, in the coop (they can see the other 20 chickens, but not harm them). We have a third roo that has been pecking my 10yo. THe remedy is that she now wears gloves (He takes chunks from her hands), and she immediately holds him upside...
She sounds a lot like my sister. Sis said she wanted hens, and asked what she needs. She got distracted when I was telling her. Then she told me she wants 3-4 of MINE (which she has yet to see), because she doesn't want to bother with chicks. When I told her she cannot have mine, but I would be...
My mother in law notoriously left her non-laying chickens at the city dump..... she later bumped into a friend, who "found some chickens at the dump - who would be mean enough to abandon them like that?" (MIL did not confess). Those chickens started laying again like crazy. So we tell our girls...
I didn't say all that. I have no idea what happened. If I were to guess, it would be that she's the same breed (Black star), with a black head. The markings and color look the same to me, other than the head......
Hatcheries can definitely make mistakes. But sex-link are hard to mess up. 1st...
SEE???? Now I want some more chickens (I LOVE my EE, and am always tempted to get more - they are the prettiest in my flock) SHame on you for feeding my addiction, lol
I MUST RESIST! (Especially since I am passing right by there this a.m.)
What did they look like at birth? Did the one in...
Love the daredevils!!!
Crazy day....
The mean cockerels have been spared, for now:
Took my 10yo shooting early this morning (her first time - she listened well, followed all my instructions, and shot incredibly well! So proud of her!) Then took her to a local (tiny) amusement park for a...
I so appreciate the information and head's up from Pozee (she also contacted me privately, to give me this info). This is what I love about this board, and especially this Colorado group; looking out for one another, and sharing info.
Thank you, Pozee, for your willingness to help me. And...
Still trying to touch base with her. She offered last night, and I sent a PM. I will let you know. Maybe late Saturday afternoon.
WARNING - I am a noob. I may not have all the equipment needed. It is just my backyard, a turkey fryer, a couple knives, a hose and a table/cutting board. Not...
Pozees is coming over to process hers, and help me with mine (it's my first time) this weekend. If you don't mind driving to Pueblo West, you can join us. Not promising the best facilities or anything, as again, I am new to this....
We will be using cones. From the demo Wendell did, it all...
Pozees, I was planning to do it in the morning (I have the two meanest in a dog crate), but if you are willing to come help, I am happy to wait for you. I have things going on in the morning, but could work out a time later in the day. I can let the second meanest go back in the run tomorrow...
