Is this youngster a roo or a hen? Put it in with some brahma hens around the same age and it is protective but they are all neither crowing or laying yet. Also, when do JG's start growing spurs?
Ok this is Fluffs. The little dear had a rough start with its hatch flock and jad to be reared seperate while getting strength back. My question is, is this my roo?
Is little Fluffy a he or a she? It is a Brahma chick.
New to brahmas and dont know how to tell in the chicks. Only ordered one roo and the rest were hens. If I had thought about it I would have ordered the roo from a different color set
Hagrid was a paxked heatingnpad with my last batch of chicks from the breeder. I just couldnt cull him and he is a sweetheart. Just started to crow and sounds like a bass drum. I just have no clue what breed he is. Any thoughts?
1 week old Brahma chick found under the substrate in my broader. Lethargic, chilled. Freaked my ither half out because I immediatly put him tween my boobs ( tmi) and got a cup of water and a q-tip. I was able to get it to swallow a couple drops of water and put it in my incubator to get warm...
What would make a silkie bantum hen reject one of her own chicks? Poor little thing hatched today and she kept kicking it away from her. It's in a brooder in the house now with one of its siblings and seems perfectly finem
Ok checked on my mini flock today and as I was getting ready to open their nesting box I noticed where one hen had laid eggs in a differant area and ran in and pecked at an egg, ran off with the shell. I cleaned the area and removed the eggs to an incunator for safe keeping. Added more nesting...
Went to check my hens after last nights storm and I think there is a fire ant nest under their brood house. How do I get rid of it without hurting my hens or their eggs?
Ok, how do I convince my rooster to stop crowing all night on the hour every hour? He starts at ninepm and continues until my other half leaves for work at 7:30am. Help lol
My silkie bantam only sits on the eggs at night. Well three of them do. We average 65 to 75 degrees during the day. They are still young and just started laying last weekend during the hurricane. Only 8 eggs in the nest. Was told by my mil that some chickens wait until they have a certain number...
I just recently started on the chicken hobby and treated myself to 6 bantam silkies. My dogs just think they are babies and are either protecting them or hiding from them lol They are about ready to move into the coop we are building and I could use all the advice we could get lol
