I just received this pretty chick and I cannot find any similar chicks in the online pics. She or he is a hatchery choice from an unidentified mix of Bantams.
The red heat lamp messes with the color. It's pale yellow with gray to black on its back and clean yellow feet & legs. It is plain all...
My two week old chicks were attacked by a neighbor’s cat. At least three were outright eaten.
All other chicks seemed ok. Moved to a more secure cage - no more cat food here!
Today, I noticed blood on right side of a chick. On examination, she’s missing the end of her wing, but two ends of that...
Has anyone else had this happen to you?
One afternoon I collected eggs, got distracted, set the pail down, and quickly forgot them….
I rediscovered the new shining aluminum pail with eggs still in it a few days later.
I have been float testing all my eggs since I have some hens sitting broody...
I hate this site.
I cannot get anything done for at least an hour once I open it!
I have so much fun running around on here reading here and there. (like a chicken with its head cut off!) I giggle, shed tears, leave remarks and next thing I know, I've lost an hour maybe two!!!!
Addictions aside...
Speckled girl is the only one of her kind from a mixed rare chick order last fall.
She has a pea comb, no feathers on her legs or feet, all her teeth are missing, she has dark gray legs, and is VERY vocal.
Any ideas?
Hello All!
I've been a chicken nut since I was a child. My Grandma gave me my first chickens. They were bantams.
After a military career, my children and I began our chicken raising again in Northern Maine.
Now, in SW NM I have raised and hatched many chickens in the many years since.
I don't...
