I have been reading a lot on here on adding more chickens to an existing flock but I have some questions, hubby won't let me get more unless I can figure out how to do it.
The coop I have is a 4' X 8' with 2 New Hampshire's and 2 Dark RIR. I would like to get 3 black sexlinks and 2 EE.
They...
I looked all around in the store and all they had was Safeguard in pellets.
Could some one please let me know how much to give to my hens and how long/often they should be treated?
I have posted a few other topics trying to figure out what is wrong with my Molly.
She is standing with her tail feathers now on the ground, more than in this picture (picture is a week old). She is not egg bound, she has been like this for over a week now. I gave her antibiotics for a week...
I have been reading on here for the last week trying to figure out what might be wrong with my Molly. I thought maybe ascites, because of her swollen belly and her penguin stance.
I took her out of the coop because she was being picked on by one of the other hens since she was just standing...
I have a large New Hampshire Red hen, she is soon to be 3 years old (in June). She hasn't laid an egg since October last year (none of my other 3 have either).
Her comb started turning redder earlier this year and I thought maybe she would be laying soon but her and the other 3 haven't laid at...
My favorite hen is about 2 1/2 years old, hasn't laid an egg for over 9 months, she's a RIR. I've noticed she's seemed a little thinner than usual, she's eats some and has been drinking water, not sure about today, but today I've noticed she's very lethargic, not moving around much like the...
One of my hens a New hampshire tore a part of her comb off. ( She has a very larg comb that flops over) I'm not sure how she did it this time. The first time she tore a small part of it on the fence when she was dust bathing, it bleed a lot all over her head. I seperated her in the coop til it...
I was told that these were RIR but I'm wondering if it's something else
and the one on the right was listed as a "dark" RIR and the one on the left is a RIR?
and are these two new hampshire red's,
I got 2 rhode island reds 5 weeks ago, one looks like a female and the other one is well unknown, Lucy, didn't have much feathers on her when we got her and at 3 weeks old really developed fast, she's darker then her "sister" as you can see in the pictures but I'm hoping that she's still a she...
