They were hatched sometime early march or late feb.
The Americauna behind him has started crowing, so that one is definitely a roo. It seems young but it was a tiny croak. I must have really poor luck if this wyn is a roo too, none of these were straight runs.
I recently moved to Des Moines, WA from seattle and I learned the law here is crazy inaccessible. Only rich folks with tons of money and landland w be able to make it work. Something like 20k square foot requirements?!? It's insanely prohibitive compared to neighboring towns. Many of my...
Hi from Des Moines, WA! I have two hens and 5 chicks! I have been a member for 5 years but I have never introduced myself. apparently they have any chickens on my tiny lot here is illegal, but no one seems to bother us. Our town has pretty dated laws and only allows hens on lots over 20,000 feet...
I'm starting to get super frustrated as this issue is one I feel I have been battling for over a year and nothing has been effective.
Two of my hens have bald patches with crusty skin, one on her neck and the other on her belly. I determined it was not cannibalism after lots of careful...
I have found two eggs like this for two days. She is the dominant bird, and the only hen in my flock that lays eggs this colour (offwhite, almost pink), and on the first day I found one like this, she appeared to have laid two eggs in a day. One was normal, the other was bloody like this one. I...
My barred rock had a case of poultry lice with our humid weather exacerbating it, so I gave her a bath as per directed by some other hen owners. She struggled a bit and I'm worried her ears may have gotten water in them. I was careful but she was not having and her head got a bit wet. After a...
The seller mislabeled the breed AND the age of the pullet, she is slightly older than the rest of my pullets. She laid an egg on the first day I had her.
I don't know much about this breed other than that they are considered a bit tricky and not for novice chicken keepers. A novice I am not...
Hi everyone, long time no see. I have been inactive for awhile as I have moved several times and had several flocks since.
I just got a new flock of hens this morning-- all of them had been kept at the supplier in the same enclosure.
There are three easter eggers, 2 barred rocks, and one...
Hi everyone. I have 6 chickens, all 8 weeks old.
When I got them as chicks from the breeder, she said they had all been vaccinated for mareks, but not cocci, so I should get them on a medicated water solution right away (they don't sell medicated feed.) They did fine, and at the end of five...
new here but I am desperately trying to figure out how to save my lil' nugget :( I just got them from a grange here in town, they were hatched about a week and a half ago and looked healthy when I got them. They were vaccinated for mareks and I put them on the stuff for cocci today. :(
The...
