I have been getting at least 5 a day for about a week. With banty egg thrown in here or there. (My chickenns just started laying about 2-2 1/2 wks ago.) But Leghorn & Anconas started laying today, so time for more! So happy!!
I work nights, and when I got home this morning, there was an egg in one of the boxes. I don't know what time it was laid, but the birds got put up around 7:30 - 8 last night. My son puts them up for me after I go to work, but he apparently didn't check for eggs. I think its my little porcelain...
I have a total of 23 chickens, 16 pullets & 7 roosters. (That's not counting my banties.) I know that is way too many cocks in the henhouse, and I plan on culling some of them. But that is where I am having my problem. Which do I keep/cull??
I ended up with 3 white Leghorn, 2 that I am now...
So I still have a chance of it being a pullet?? That would be awesome I already have 2 little bantam roos, the red & white at the very top of post and a BLRW and I was hoping...
Ok I tried to get some better shots of Sam this afternoon but he just wouldn't cooperate. Will try again in the morning. But thanks everyone for the replies.
Now could someone help with these, please?
This is Little bit
And this is Hawk (I think this is a cockerel??)
Thanks again...
I would like to apologize to anyone that may have been reported by me. I get on here on my phone and it is touch screen. And I guess I have fat fingers. And I have accidentally hit the "report" button when scrolling. I have hit the stop button as quickly as possible. But don't know if it...
I had asked before about this one but he was still pretty young at the time. His name is Sam and he is definitely a little roo. He was my first to crow. And he is a bantam. Could someone please help me try to identify what breed. Will try to get some more pics (better ones) this afternoon...
I have a duck that is a little over a year old now. She has attempted to hatch several clutches of eggs to no avail. My drakes had gotten killed by, I am assuming, coyotes last Nov/Dec. Therefore, eggs aren't fertilized... Unless the wild mallards that frequent the tanks have come into my yard...
Thank you! That brown & white one, I am pretty sure is a roo. I really think he is going to be a handful... of fun. He's is trying his best to rule the roost! It's too funny watching him cause he is so small.
I have these little bantams I have been trying to figure out, with no luck. If anyone might be able to help me I would appreciate it. Thank you!
I am thinking the reddish one is a cochin-she has feathered feet
Here's a pic of all three-they are by the wall
Here's 2 of them-still by the wall...
Backyarder... I live on one acre on the edge of my parents' 111 acre farm. Only animals I have are my birds-ducks, geese, chicks, turkeys & guineas. Have tried gardening, but I don't think my thumb is very green...
2 of my little ones were warmed up and ready to go this morning. They have now been released back into the coop with the others. My little Enda, however, is still doing poorly. She is a little smaller than the others and her feathers aren't quite as thick so she was very cold when I found her...
Thank you! I am definitely learning a lot from this "first" experience with chickens (it's been about 20 yrs since I have really been around them). The DOs & DON'Ts, etc.
My little Enda (poss SLW) appears to be doing much better! She has gotten up and walked around a bit, but still going to...
We had a HUGE, but much needed rain last night... 6 inches or more. Well I still hadn't been able to completely rain proof my coop yet; planned on doing more to it this weekend. And because of that I have lost 2 of my little bantams. Unfortunatelt both were the ones my nephew picked out to...
Could someone help me identify the breeds of these chicks, please? They look very similar as far as the black and brown/reddish color, but they are different looking.
First (sorry the 2nd pic isn't the greatest)
Second (I have 4 like this)
no head on the 2nd pic but it shows the feathers on...
