He is my daughters too but he is getting picked on by my main roo that is at least twice his size! He is a little over 5 months old
He likes hanging with my guinea birds.
I am not willing to ship. I am in grays harbor county Washington.
I wanted to start a thread for people who might be hatching eggs in a classroom setting. Maybe to trade ideas, experiences, mistakes and of course successes! I look forward to reading any stories of anyone's classroom hatches!
This is my first time hatching chickens in a classroom. I am...
I got her from my sister. She thought having one chicken in her backyard would be fun but it was lonely and cried a lot! She's a consistent daily layer.
Here she is.
This is her egg
I want birds for meat and eggs. Right now I have mostly mutt chickens but I would like to settle on a breed.
Does anyone have experience with these?
Pioneer aka Rainbows or Dixie Rainbows
The only reviews I found were on hatchery websites... sorry but I don't trust reviews!
What breed...
He's DONE! He charged at me at attacked 3 times! The last time all I was doing was sweeping my patio! He broke skin on my hand... Guess who going to be dinner tomorrow night?
This just about has me at wits end! In the last 2 months I have had chickens with wry neck, scissor beak, sour crop, fatty liver/heart disease, I have one chicken that sneezes around specific bedding, they are all being treated for cocci right now and while I was examining one of the chicken's...
Besides your hands, what tools out there can be used to aid in plucking. I suck at it! I love the idea of a tub style plucking machine but I don't have time to build one or spend over $1000 to buy one! I plan on raising meat birds in the spring so and I occasionally acquire roosters from town...
I have the entire flock on corid and I've read lots of great material on how to get it under control. I just wanted to rant about my babies and how stupid cocci is...
Most aren't appearing sick but there are 3 that are fluffed up and won't drink water without some encouragement. So I brought...
I thought this should go in the feeding/Watering section...
He looks so funny! My puffy beautiful rooster looks half the size right now! Lol they are waiting by the back door like I'm supposed to let them in... Lol
Before (yesterday)
After
So sad and hilarious at the same time!
These silly hens are laying everywhere! I'm working on it but today I feel like I win.... I found my new hen butters' nest!
Guess who's eating eggs for breakfast?
These poults are 6-9 weeks old I'm not sure exactly. They are all that's left out of 13 and Mama went missing too. They were my dad's turkeys but I had a single female that took them both in as her own. I'm hoping for at least 1 male out of the 2 so I can eventually hatch out some turkeys...
Ok, here's another installation of Hen or Roo? a favorite game here on BYC!
Here is Chicken #1 ~ Turtle 7 weeks old orp/pr mix
I'm guessing Roo but the comb is starting to fall over like some of me hens! I'm really hoping hen its a lovely chicken!
Turtle...
And they looooved it of course!!!
Guineas
Chickens/Guineas I had to bribe them with meal worms for a picture the grass is so tall you can see them! Lol
None of them went more than 5 feet from the coop and only a few tried to coop up with the adults. I put them back in their coop. I was...
Ok they are bigger now. I have 2 figured out but 2 I'm unsure of...
Pullet- Rose SLW 6 weeks
Cockerel- Turtle Orp mix 4 weeks
Now for the ?'s
Pullet? Shinobi Astrolorp mix 5 weeks
Pullet? (I hope) Chicken Noodle doodle a lakenvelder 6 weeks
Henny Penny is an evil witch! I was going to post pictures but as I was writing this my little pullet died :( I want revenge on Henny Penny! But is there another way to get her to behave? She charged at a chick before and I put her in timeout in a kennel. Should I just eat her? Btw I'm totally...
Might be early to tell but I think the latter 2 might be Roos... I live in the country so no biggie but the lakenvelder is my daughters chicken and we got it from the feed store out of a pullet bin. Her Wyandotte looks like a pullet to me but I'll add it just to check... It's also a feed store...
