OK, change is good. You know what they say, if you want to improve your mind try something new. Learning a new operating system is the best way to improve memory! This is a close second!
Here's to finding my friends again on BYC and here's to learning something new!!
Hi,
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Does anyone have any Olive egger hatching eggs to sell? Preferably first generation?
I recently hatched some second generation Olive egger eggs. I thought that they would be all different hues of Olive. Well, I have four hens and so far they all lay...
I'll tell you what I do but I haven't gotten long term enough to talk with too much acumen. I calculated I needed 800 worms to keep up little treats for my 11 chickens.
So I started a bin with 2000 mealies. Let them pupate. After I started seeing small worms I started removing beetles to...
Hey!
How and when do you decide to use the worms? I am afraid that I am going to scoop up too many and not have any more to make more. So instead, I keep buying new bins to start more worms in. I have them in little plastic drawer bins. Now I have nine drawers. I start them with chick...
Hey~
Does anyone have a picture of Welsummer eggs next to Barnveldears? I have three Barnies, and would like to get some Welsummers. Are the egg colors different?
Thanks!
Hi,
When I got my first four chickens, they liked to sleep outside the coop on a perch. I would go out and move them to the coop every night for a week. (like my friend did and hers now stay in the coop) Well, mine stay outside every night. They are in a secured coop and run so they are...
Wow! Those eggs are great! I have four Olive eggers, I hatched from Alicefelldown, here on BYC. (well, I hatched 8, but 4 were roo's) They are the sweetest birds, and really beautiful! They are about 5 1/2 months old. They look really ready to lay, so any day now......
Ok, well, that's not the best picture of her. But I put her in the brooder and thought she was a goner. Does this seem like what she has? I treated her with baby vitamins in her water. I also did a round of antibiotics, as well.
I don't think the best thing was separating her out...
Do you think it is Wry Neck? One day I came out to the coop and my Blue Orpington (who is really large) looked like she had fallen and hurt her neck. She also looked like she had vertigo. Kind of a kinked neck. Wait, let me find a picture....
Hi all,
I have four barnies. One is a very pretty looking Roo. They are thirteen weeks old. Any time I have had roosters they are crowing away. Some even before they get out of the brooder. This one is very calm and so far no crowing? Is this usual for this breed?
Thanks!
Yes! That was me! Unbelievable that any hatched due to two power outages during incubation! And they are the most beautiful birds! They are really cute chicks and are going to be beautiful chickens. My chicks are very lively and the coloring is great. Cannot wait until they start laying...
