My splash just hatched out some blue AMs 4/8. I honestly didn't think she'd do so well! I have three available as soon as I can get them away from her. She's starting to become a little less protective. I'm guessing they are two pullets and a cockerel, but just a guess. These are not show...
My little Limabean (18 weeks) has been acting strange. She has been stretching her neck out and opening her mouth really wide. It looks like she's yawning almost. Then she shakes her head a little. She did it before when younger, but it just seems so strange now to see it again. Searching here...
My first hatch resulted in three boys. I will keep one, but have one black and one blue that will need homes. They are healthy, vaccinated for Mareks, and have been fed only medicated chick starter (ok, and a couple meal worms). They are used to a moderate amount of handling. I hatched them from...
I'm posting this again because I did not get a response to my first post a week ago but could still use some feedback.
My light brahma was attacked by my Delaware. I'm not sure why, pecking order issues maybe? My Dellie is definitely the alpha. Anyway, so it's been a week. The day of the...
My light brahma pullet is 6 months old. She just started laying. I worked late tonight and when I got out to the coop, I noticed she wasn't roosting with the others. I found her in the corner of the run. Very lethargic and not excited about a meal worm. She almost looks like she's falling...
My hatchery chick is almost 10 weeks old. This deformity or whatever it is has just become noticeable in the last week or two. At first, I thought it was dirt stuck to her. Today I tried to wipe it off, but it is hard and I was afraid to hurt her. Is it a scab? Or a growth? Is there something I...
I have been making this laundry soap for several months and I love it! I use 1 tablespoon per large load and throw it right in with the laundry in my HE washer. It even gets my husband's grimy, smelly, work clothes clean. It smells great, a very clean, soapy smell. I also make it lavender...
This little cutie was an extra supplied in my order. She is only a few days old but I was hoping to get some ideas of what breed there is some lighter yellow fluff around the face and underneath. Any ideas?
So far I am in love with the mobile version of BYC! I definitely am not getting as much work done since discovering it.
Is there a way to save a post? There is so much info here, I'd really like to save or flag posts for easy reference later.
Hi, everyone!
This website has been an amazing resource for me as I considered raising chickens. Many of you have helped ease my anxiety over the time and effort it would take to build a coop and care for the animals. Right now, I cannot wait!! Construction is about to begin on the coop...
