Yes they can! ...they just need a little time to get used to being around one another.
Hopefully you have an enclosure that you can put next to/in the area where everyone will ultimately be living. It's the "see but don't touch" integration. Your babies will have a bit of an upper hand if you...
Awesome, welcome!!
Can't wait to see some photos of your flock and hear some of your great stories from your years of chicken keeping... Yay! Not to mention your journey as an upcoming avian veterinarian!! :bow Woo-hooo!
Yes, she's so lovely! Where'd you purchase her? ...They mixed up chicks somewhere along the way. Lol.
How old is she? Can't wait to see what color egg she lays! :bun
I'm experiencing something similar.... I specifically ordered two female Sapphire Gem ...they look much different than one another! The first picture, is them at a few days old. They are now four weeks old.
I ordered these from Hoover's Hatchery. I trusted I would receive two pullets, since...
Yes, life IS certainly better with chickens! :love
I love them a pets...and pets with benefits (I love having colorful baskets full of eggs!). They are my entertainment, hobby and they bring me joy... I am literally full of smiles when I'm out at the coops :D
Nice! Hi there look at those lil cuties!
I'm with ya! I too grew up on a farm... And I built my own as soon as I possibly could! Glad to hear you're sticking with it!
You'll learn anything you need to know here... It's a wonderful, and friendly flock of helpful people here! Looking forward to...
Since she's young, she must just be figuring things out still :confused: When was her first? And how many has she laid by now?
I'm eagerly awaiting first eggs from my nine pullets! I know to "expect weird things" when they do finally start laying... Right?
Hello fellow Coloradan!
Welcome to this friendly flock of fellow chicken lovers! Happy you've joined - and looking forward to pictures and stories of your flock!
Yay! Welcome to BYC and the wonderful world of chicken keeping! :frow
I like to think about the egg basket....right now you have a majority of brown/tan egg layers. You'll get a white and blue egg too...but not nearly as many as brown eggs. So maybe add more egg color variety with another...
Welcome to this online flock of friendly folks!
Very exciting that you'll be entering the world of backyard chicken-keeping. I like that you know the breeds you want...you'll eventually have an egg basket filled with brown eggs (as you probably know, since you're getting into it for the eggs -...
I love my silkies! This is a great chicken as a pet. They don't "need" as much space, and don't care to be up on a roost. They lay cute little cream colored eggs.
I specifically fell in love with the breed when my smooth silkie became a mother...WOW! She is SUCH a great mom...I've heard over...
I have one Sicilian Buttercup... RC... I call her my "Racecar Chicken" - due to her head ornament (comb - she has a perfect little buttercup 'crown') and "spoiler" (erect tail) LOL.
I love her - and she makes me want to breed more just like her!
RC comes up to me to hang out. She likes to poke...
I have two Sapphire Gem pullets, they have been wonderful so far. As baby chicks, they enjoy attention, and jump up onto my hand/knee to be pet and held.
I love the look of these chickens - they have such a pretty grey (blue) - with blue legs. Single comb.
I have yet to get eggs...so I'll be...
