I have a male already that I need to rehome, so I would love a quick opinion answer so I can give them both together if need be. I did notice that the wyandotte got red in his comb a little earlier but isn t crowing or acting like my confirmed roo...but I'm wondering because my roo picks on my...
I was out with the chickens today and I noticed that my Ameraucana has one tiny baby feather on each leg. I confirmed that they are actually her feathers, but she is from a hatchery and not supposed to have feathered feet. Do you think that it is part of her genetics and the hatchery did a...
Well I have this one eight week old bantam , and it sometimes bites me. It doesn't hurt (trust me I have been bitten hard before) but sometimes it does a little squatting thing when it bites me. I'm worried it is a male behavior. I am referring to the bantam as an it because I am not sure...
They are about six weeks old, and I'm wondering about the genders of the bantams, the whitish chick and the gold chick in the bottom picture. The bantams are straight run and the standards are supposed to be sexed females. I am really hoping that the gold bantam at least is a female, she is...
Have you hatched any olive egger/dark egger chicks lately?
I would be interested in buying, if you have any. I live in nampa, Idaho, so that would have to be considered too👍💙
Hello to all, I was just wondering if you could help me out here with some imagination. I have these supplies and I want to make a better feeding and watering system for my flock. Here are the pictures, tell me if you don't know what something is.
Idk, maybe some of them would be scrap treat...
I've heard that Barnevelders lay dark brown eggs. I've also heard they lay light brown eggs. Which is it really? Please answer asap I'm getting my second flock soon
I've heard the praises of sand for coops sung from everywhere. Is this sand too fine? I know it shouldn't be so fine it causes crop impaction.
Golf ball for scale.
What is the difference between these two? And sapphire gem? I can't find any sources can anyone tell me which will have most certainty of laying green eggs and look like an ameraucana / EE?
I have my other breeds picked out, but i was thinking about which of these four breeds I should pick. Which lays most in your opinion? Which do you generally like best or think is the best quality? I feel like the last two hybrids are not quite as good as the first two, but i dont really...
I have an older coop that I've had for about four years now, and I'm getting new chickens. I want to build an extension instead of making a new coop or buying a new coop, but I want it to be simple because I don't have a lot of time for it. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?
The title is pretty much my question. I have room only for four hens in my coop. I have had Rhode island's and ameraucanas before, so I know their personalities and I want one of each, but can you advise me on the others?
Thanks!
I am getting a new batch of chicks. I have tried Dunlaps hatchery, seemed ok except for one of the four chicks turned out a rooster when we ordered females all. I have been thinking about tractor supply... any thoughts?
Hey all I'm wondering if you have any pictures of your blue/black/splash ameraucanas to show me, I haven't decided which color I want!:confused:
Is there any notable difference/ benefit between them?
P. S. I used to have a splash wheaten...she was the sweetest:love
Again I come before you in all my lack of knowledge....
What the chicken do I do?
I want a Maran. I picked four types that I like, but I can't get any info on which lays the darkest colored eggs, or which is better suited to my climate, and all the important blah-de-blah. Please help? Idk...
So sorry to plague you guys again with chick buying questions, but i really want to make a good decision on this. I am getting chicks to replace the ones that got caught by a hawk. We only have coop room for four chickens or so. I had two ameraucanas and two Rhode island reds, and in this...
I decided to get chicks this spring to replace my four year olds that died this week. I had gotten them from Dunlaps, four of them, one was a rooster and we had to give him away. One of my hens died from something related to bugs and the other two were killed by a hawk. I was just gonna buy...
