I don't normally get angry with animals. That's not my style. I get angry with people who don't take care of their animals and choose to dump them in my little corner of indiana.
Which leads me to my story. So I had 5 week old chicks, fully feathered or close to it. I decided to let them out...
Sigh... I can see the appeal of a broody hen this morning. Ya know, since I am one today with 6 5 day old birds down my sweatshirt in the dark for the second time in 24 hours... power went out again...
Ok, I feel really stupid asking this but I have like no chicken friends around me anymore to ask. Does anyone in the Columbus area have a few fertile hatching eggs (any breed, mixed, weird whatever) that they would be willing to part with? I'm looking to add new blood to my flock but I am kind...
Hi everyone! I just had some chicks hatch out this morning/late last night. Some of them are from a breeder friend near by with some fancy 4h chickens. Anyway, she gave me a bunch of eggs she found scattered around her farm and I really don't know what she has. I know some are mixed but this...
Well, if it was actually mine I would totally put a fan in it (buy one from the tractor supply for like 20 bucks) but it's a borrowed one from my cousin so I am not looking to put one in it
He couldn't be so lucky lol
This year I did something I would never do: stagger hatch. I have eggs that are due on Sunday and eggs that are due on the 24th.
I have two incubators but one is a still air and the other has a fan.
I set all eggs in the same incubator (with fan) and have left them alone but lockdown is...
Hey look remember these guys lol
round 2. Probably somewhere between 6-7 weeks old now I think. They have all their big kid feathers and are getting ready to go outside

Chook 2
Chook 3
Chook 4
Chook 5
Chook 6
Happy guessing! Lol
Yeah I figured. They are hard to take pictures of because they run from me and throw tantrums. Completely different from my hatched ones which will hop on my back of I bend down to pick something up lol
Thanks for the age and I'll keep my fingers crossed for hens. I can't feed anymore cockerels
Howdy all.
I know these guys are probably too young to tell yet (but to be honest I have no idea how old they are lol)
Maybe you guys could help. They are all super skiddish and don't like being held. I got these from the pullet bin at rk this year. I incubated this year and probably 80% of...
Free rooster to good home. Not big enough to butcher! Columbus/Seymour/greensburg area. His name is Bernie - Rhode island red x bantam Cochin cross. Beautiful bird. Pictures don't do him justice. I love him with all my heart but I can't have him fighting with his dad. So he is in need of a one...
Lol he is currently chilling in my front yard in the sun while the other birds are inside the run. He is also molting so he is cold missing so many feathers. Thank you for the input and I will try that out!
I have another rooster named Bernie that was hatched in November of last year and I was thinking the same thing. Up until recently Steve here has been top bird. Well, until last night. And I am keeping him separate for now. He is still very spunky. Tough old bird. His pride seems to be hurt...
Hello. This is my boy Steve. He is 6 years old roughly.
Sorry about cruddy photos. He is currently separated from the hens and other rooster since I found him like this. Missing a great bit of feathets from behind his head. Is this my other roosters doing or are my hens involved too? I have...
Sorry to butt in ladies and gents, but I was wondering is anyone here has 2 pullets they are looking to get rid of in the Columbus Indiana area. I have lost 2 due to predation in the last week and I am looking to replace them. I was offered chicks but with the onset of winter my father doesn't...
