One of the black AM's got out (I have no clue how, but it didn't make it😪) These are the best pics I could get of the rest, they were having a digging party and couldn't be bothered to pose🤣
She'll either kick them to the curb or take them to roost, hopefully soon, lol. I have the same thing going on, 8-5 week olds crammed in a nest with their mom, it's pitiful, lmao
We have a taker for all 4 of these young men, they will be leaving Friday. That will leave us with the 4 AM's, which I think 1 of the blacks is a cockerel, not sure on the other one, and I think both ermine are pullets, but I think it'll be another week or 2 before I'm sure. Hopefully I have a...
It's official, all 4 of the OE's are cockerels. I was hoping for at least 1 pullet. If anyone knows anyone, they are free. Would make great table birds.
I have 4 F5 olive egger cockerels, FREE. They are handsome fellas. They are an F4 olive egger crossed with my Wheaten Marans roo. 2 of each color. 5 weeks old

Got a text this morning from a guy that bought chicks from me back in June (I know his cousin) he came all the way from Hempstead for these chicks, which is almost 2 hrs away. He wants 20 more, so I guess I'm firing up the incubator again🤣
Almost 6, she's a large lady, and gets around pretty slow these days, just likes to chill in the shade most of the time. I personally think her weight has a lot to do with it, I know folks say chickens are great at regulating their feed intake, but she does eat a lot, lol. Idk, I'll let her do...
So far so good with the nut, I'm sure she'll start laying in a couple weeks then go broody again🤣 In other news Maribel, my old lady light brahma, is acting really off. She's been staying in the coop on the roosts a lot, not eating much, and let me tell you this big lady does not miss meals...
There has to be an established order (the pecking order). These are still young pullets, so I'm sure there will be changes to the pecking order as time goes on. As long as no one is getting hurt I'd just let it play out and see if it resolves after some time. How many birds do you have and how...
Let the nut outta the clink yesterday after work, no clucking, and she went to roost last night 🤞 I've got a lady coming for 3 more birds tomorrow, I asked her if she'd be interested in her as well (I did give full disclosure on her broody tendencies) she said while she is beautiful, she doesn't...
