I have been a member of the Facebook group for years and just realized I wasn't seeing any posts from the group. Now I can't even find the group of I'm logged into Facebook. A month or two ago my account was hacked and I was suspended from several Facebook groups. I'm assuming that is why I'm no...
I have a 22-24 week old Golden Sex-Link Rooster (that is if TS gave me the correct breed). He doesn't weigh a pound yet. Last time I weighed him he was about .8lbs. He struggles to walk and I had noticed just before we put him and the others his age into the grow out area in the coop to also...
So maybe I'm going to be playing devil's advocate, but, since when did feeding chickens get complicated? Don't get me wrong, I love my birds, even when they poop on me, but how did feeding them get so "technical"? I'm trying to simplify a few things, and decided to really fidi into why chicks...
So I got 4 Golden Sexlinks from Tractor Supply (My feed-store's first shipment didn't survive and they mentioned TS used the same hatchery as them) and 3 are doing great and I'm sure they are pullets. One though, I picked because the fluff was a lighter color than the others and I like to have...
Two days ago I noticed Barbecue, my 1.5 yr old Barred Rock, was sneezing and not coughing but wheezing/gurgling a bit. I've listened to her breathe by putting my ear to her back and her lungs sound clear. She has no swelling to the eyes, or head. She has no nasal discharge. Her comb and...
**Pictures will be coming tomorrow when I have help to hold the fluff butts down)
This summer I had two of my hen's (Heihei the speckled sussex and Stir Fry the Sagitta) go broody and gave them some eggs I got from friends with roo's. Heihei hatched a Cuckoo Marans'/Lavender Ameraucana...
I've got 3 polish babies. Well one is about three months old so maybe she doesn't count. Two are 8 weeks old. I am suspecting they are all three pullets. They have the same parents. Dad is white crested black, and Mom is buff lace. #1 is Fancy, #2 is Chickpea, and #3 is Scrappy.
So 7 weeks ago my Speckled Sussex hatched a blue egg. I'm not sure if it's an actual ameraucana or an EE. I'm hoping for a pullet but was wondering it there is any way to tell yet. I named her (positive thinking) Coco and she's actually learned it and comes when I call her. If she's a roo, I...
Roundabout question that doesn't REALLY matter now (because chick #2 didn't make it), but I'm going to ask the question anyway. My speckled Sussex went brooding in spring and I gave up trying to break her of it and got some fertile eggs from a few friends (i have no roo). Egg#1 and Egg#2...
My Barred Rock hen, Barbque, went through the small pullet egg stage last fall. She's been laying larger eggs up until about three weeks ago . It took me awhile to figure out who was laying it and today was able to determine it was her. It is significantly smaller than her eggs were and those of...
I started my small flock this past July when my cousin parted out her flock when she moved. I had a Barred Rock (Queenie), Ameraucana (Blue), and a mutt (Hobbette due to her feathered feet). Sadly a fox got into the run yesterday afternoon while I was away and I no longer have my pretty girls...
