Am after some advise please. I have a year old black copper maran who's been laying for a few months now. She lays almost daily but her eggs always have a 'sticky' shell and always has more bedding stuck to it than any other of our chickens eggs. Also the eggs consistently have 3 or 4 blood/...
My 2 Plymouth Rocks are now 8 weeks old. Pretty sure i have one if not two cockerels. They both have very different body shapes and tails though. Can someone help please?
So I've got myself in a panic about how I'm going to keep my hens safe from foxes when they are old enough to go in the garden.
We're lucky enough to have a large garden (1 acre) with a 10ft x 5ft wooden coop already in place when we moved in. We're in the countryside and surrounded by fields...
So after talking about buying some day old chicks, my hubby came home with 14 mixed breed chicks. Apparently the man he bought them from did tell him the breeds but he's forgotten ♀️. They're a week old today and i wondered if anyone would be so kind as to try and help me work out who is what?
