I've got three 1 1/2 week old Polish chicks. I want to get some banties tomorrow, but I'm afraid the Polish chicks will hurt my newbies. Should I wait or use another brooder?
I only got 3 Buff Laced Polish this time, but the feed store I get them from got their shipment in a day late so I have to go back for my baties later. No pics yet. I'll put them up when I get home from work tonight. I've never had Polish chicks and I'm so excited!!!
What did your chickens get for snacks this week?
Mine have been getting a mixture of oats, cherrios, shredded cheese, lettuce, broccoli, popcorn, and rabbit food.
Does anyone have any Silkies from Meyer, Ideal, McMurray, etc. I want to see what they look like as adults so I can figure out where I'm going to order from in the spring.
Thanks!
A buddy of mine just gave a hen that is a couple years old. She's really pretty, but I just can't figure out what she is. I'll have a pic of her tomorrow. She has a really spiky comb and large waddles. She's about the size of a Barred Rock. She's also White based with buff high lights. The buddy...
What I have as shelter for my two chickens is a plastic barrel with wood shavings in it. It's held firmly and doesn't move. Their run is about 5 ft. tall and has no top. There is a tree right above them and at night they fly into the tree for the night. Well, now that it's getting into the 30's...
I was driving home from the bank today and saw a man putting a sign saying "Polish(top hat) Chickens $5" OMG! I wanted to squeel my tires and grab a couple so bad! I just had to remind myself to resist the urge until next March. grrr.
What chicks will be in your spring time chick list???
I'll be ordering...
More Silkie banties!(Splash,White or Blue)
Polish(different colors)
Easter Eggers
I liked my Silver Seabright I had too. Maybe another couple of them too.
I got a new hen from a friend. My friend said she was a Silkie, but I DEFINATLY know she's not a Silkie! Maybe a Silkie mix. What do you think she is mixed with???
It's the bigger white one. The other is my Splash Silkie.
Sorry this is all the better pics I have. I could try and get some...
I am moving VERY soon and am forced to give up my chickens. I have 6 heavy breeds that are 3 months old. and 2 banties that are i think 5 weeks old. Breeds are in my signature. One possible roo. I live in southern Indiana. If you are interested please let me know.
I took a few pics of my two banty chicks tonight while they were hangin out in the kitchen.
This is my Silver Sebright, Tweedle Dee.
This is Jolene my Silkie.
That is all!
My chicks(I still call them that) are over almost 3 months old now! I finally figured out what breeds they all were now I need to figure out who is a roo and who is a pullet!
These are my 2 RIR. I think they are both pullets, but I'd like to have other opinions.
This is Dolly Parton. She's...
I currently have 6 chickens. 2 are still babies. A friend of my dad's that has chickens offered to help us build a chicken coop and run. I plan on getting more chickens next year. Possibly have a total of 12 chickens. How big should the coop and run be?
