My husband and I have recently gotten a letter from Chesterfield County because someone complained to them about our chickens, which we have had for the last 3 years. We have 8 little bantams, all hens, no roosters. They cause no harm in the yard. When we are at work they are in the coop, and...
Soooooooooooooooooooooo................ today I was watching some TV and out of the corner of my eye I saw Seagull again.... she found the cat/dog/ chicken waterer behind the grill. SO I went outside and scooped her up and put her back in the coop. I let her calm down and I just observed her for...
Last weekend one of our little girls, Seagull, went missing. We named her Seagull because she is a beautiful gray and it just sort of fit her. Anyways, last weekend (Sunday night) she went missing, but our girls have been known to sleep in the trees from time to time, so we didn't think much of...
Between the time my husband and I went to sleep last night and when we woke up this morning there were 3 babies that hatched, and while we were at work 4 more hatched.
NOW, here's the background Marilyn has been sitting on eggs for 4 weeks and nothing was hatching and we were a little panicked...
We have a pullet who has gone broody but her eggs are not hatching and yes they are fertile. We would like to give her the experience of hatching eggs, does anyone know where I could get some fertile bantam eggs that you know are about to hatch??
Please & Thank you for any help you can give me...
Our pullet has gone broody and is sitting on eggs, but for some reason nothing is hatching (and yes we do have a rooster) they are fertile eggs, just not hatching... Does anyone have any fertile bantam eggs that we could buy so that we can give her the experience of hatching a baby???
We have 4 chickens, 3 are females and 1 is a rooster but rarely crows.
First we noticed that Marilyn had built a nest and put some eggs together and spent a little time on the nest but not enough for eggs to hatch.
NOW she wont move from the nest, gets aggressive if you put your hand near...
All in one week!!
We had 6 silkies hatch and they are so cute!!
And today my husband and I came home to find that our older girls had laid their first eggs. Woo Hooo
We had 12 eggs in the bator and we knew that 4 of them were not good so we took them out.
One started to peck out yesterday, and somewhere between the scary storm around 3AM and 7:15AM we had our first egg to hatch. YAY
We have 12 silkie eggs in the bator, and they are due to hatch tomorrow, but I think one of the babies is trying to break out of the shell...
I'll keep you guysposted
We have a Bantam Rooster that we are trying to sell. It's about 4 months old and we have had it since it was just a couple of days old. The two roosters that it shared a coop with have already found new homes.
We were told that it was a Buff Brahma, but I do not believe the comb is correct to...
Is anyone interested in Silkies? If so, we have 2 silkie roosters. We love them dearly, but we can't have roosters. We thought we would check on here and see if anyone might be interested.
And the other is grayish with some buff or brownish color to it. Very beautiful as well.
We would...
OK, I'm new at this. We have bantam chickens that we bought when they were babies but I've never done the incubator thing. So last weekend we bought 12 fertile Silkie eggs. I borrowed an incubator from a friend of Sunday and set it up and on Monday I put the 12 eggs in the bator and we put x's...
Our three younger chickens are about 4 months old now.
We know that two are clearly roosters because they crow any chance they can get.
The bantam is question has feathered feet and when we got it they told us at the swap meet that it was a buff brahma bantam. We got it when it was about 2-3...
My husband and I got this bantam when it was about 2 days old and we were told it was a Buff Brahma Bantam... well a couple of weeks when by and I posted a picture, and I was told that it was not a Buff Brahma, but perhaps it was a D'Uccle....
We do have a pullet D'Uccle, but I don't think...
I'm not sure where to post this, but does anyone have guard dogs for their chickens, and if so, what type of dog is it and how did you train it to guard the chickens?
Thank you for looking and hopefully replying.
