My Annabelle is 14 weeks, she's an Easter Egger. She's sort of clumsy . . . she sort of trips on her feet, and she sits back on her knees when she eats. She's the biggest of our birds, but the sweetest. She loves to be held . . . when we go to pick her up, she just sort of flops down. Is this...
We have two 12 week old chicks (we had three, but one chose to greet the morning with a cokadoodledoo, so he was re-homed). Today we got two 10 week old chicks to take his place. We have the two new girls in a cage in the pen. They can all see each other . . . how do we put them together? I was...
Margaret decided one morning that she is a he. We can't have roosters where we live, so I have to re-home him. I have raised him as a pet since he was one week old. He is now 11 weeks, and he's absolutely beautiful.
I'd like him to go to a safe home where he will be protected from predators...
Me again. Here is Margaret at 10 weeks. I heard something yesterday morning that sounded very un-ladylike.
Is Margaret a Mike??
I am not sure what breed she is. I was told she was a silkie, but she has a single comb, so she's not.
I got Julia at one week old. She was called a Buff Orpington--she was a beautiful golden color--now she's just plain ol' white. I won't lie, I love her, but I am sad she's just white.
Can you tell me if she is Julia--or Jake?? She is now 8 weeks in these pictures taken yesterday.
I...
We have had Margaret for 6 weeks . . . making her about 7 weeks. She has way more comb development than her two EE "sisters," but she is only about a third their size. She is very petite . . . what does this comb indicate? We were told she's a silkie, but she's not turning out that way.
(I just realized I posted this in the wrong place this morning--sorry).
This is Julia (I hope). She made an ungodly sound this weekend . . . I am terrified it was the beginnings of a cockadoodledoo.
I was told she was a buff orpington, but since my Ameraucana and silkie are not, I'm...
This is Julia (I hope). I was told she was a buff orpington, but I am going to guess she isn't . . . none of my birds turned out to be what the feed store said they were.
"She" made an ungodly sound this weekend . . . I am so afraid it was the beginnings of a cockadoodledoo. She is five weeks...
I have three babies (girls, I hope!), who are about 5 weeks. I got them at 1 week. I kept them with a heat lamp for 4 weeks (lowering the temperature gradually). They spend most of the day outside in their run, but they come in at dusk . . . back into their little cage. I'd like to have them...
This is Margaret, she is six weeks old--we were told she's a silkie. She's the smallest of our three, and ironically, her comb is the most developed. She's a girl, right??
This is Annabelle . . . I hope. She's about 4 weeks old, and she's bigger than our buff orpington and silkie who are the same age. She's starting to get bossy . . . she literally steps on the others. Is there any way to tell if she is actually a he?? I have no idea what I will do if she's a boy...
