Posting photos here of my ladies. My family and friends get tired of me posting and don't appreciate them. lol I have 12 hens and I get a rainbow basket of eggs. All my hens are named and well loved. Some will let us pet and hold and some wont. But, we love them all the same. It is getting to...
Hey! I have 2 26 week Salmon Favorelles and they have not started laying yet. They do not free range so they are not hiding them. One has starting to squat so I assume she is about to start to lay. Anyone else have late bloomers with this breed? squat so I assume she is about to start to lay...
***Edit***
I have added some addition chicken wire inside run to give them separation with food and water. They seem to be much happier!
Good Morning!!! I am trying to integrate my 2 11 weeks old salmon favorelle pullets into my flock this week. They have been out there for a few days now. I...
Good Morning! I was just wondering if anyone does anything for their chickens on Christmas? I got them some cracked corn and they will probably get some Christmas food scraps. I even have a stocking for them! Anyone else as crazy as me? lol
Soooo..... Today I figured out that one of my Salmon Favorelle chicks is a roo. I don't usually keep roos due to the aggressiveness. They lady I purchased him from said she will take him back and refund me; but, she doesn't keep roos either and she will fatten him up and cull and feed to her...
Hey! So, my chickens are sleeping on top of my coop and have been for a while. I think I let their coop get too dirty? Idk. I have cleaned it out and put fresh shavings in and they still wont go in at night. I am having to put them in one at a time. Any advice or just keep putting them in till...
Long time no post!
I got 2 Salmon Favorelle's chicks a few weeks ago. I was told they take months to fully feather out. Should I wait those months to put them out with the rest of my hens? I know they are not ready now just trying to prepare. I am going out of town the week of new years and...
Is is normal for 7 month old Easter Eggers to still not be laying?? I bought them as chicks in March this year and I swear they are still not laying! I thought I got a green one over a month ago that didn't belong to my Olive Egger but I have not gotten another one since. One of my EE has red...
Hi! I have 2 EE pullets (hopefully) that are 20 weeks old. They have not started laying yet. When do they usually start? Most of my other hens started around 18-22 weeks.
Also, What do you think they are crossed with?
Hello! I have 3 French Black Cooper Marans that are about 20 weeks old. Just trying to figure out when they will start to lay. I know some breeds take longer but Google is not giving straight forward answer. And if I was to have a rooster they would already be crowing, correct? i am attaching...
My sweet Camilla was attacked 6 months ago by a hawk and she still has not gotten some of her feathers back. Some due to pecking and some of her skin is very smooth like it is never going to have feathers! What do I do?
Several months ago and one of my hens was badly injured. Her skin was completely ripped from her back. She looked like a pack of chicken at the store. She has since recovered mostly, just waiting on feathers to come back. We have recently put her back in main coop with other hens and they are...
Hi!
I purchased some 3 month old Barred Rock Pullets yesterday evening and one has continually pecked the hardware cloth on coop and injured her beak. I don't know how to get her to stop. She keep bleeding and I keep cleaning her up and she does it again. I got her and one of her sisters and...
We have recently built a large covered run and made our shed into a nice coop and our chickens won't sleep in it at night!!! They won't use the nesting boxes either. I think I need to add a ridge on nesting boxes and maybe that will help with the laying part. I have ceramic eggs in them now...
I had posted on here a week or so ago about my sweet Dorothy quacking all night. I knew she needed a friend or two and we just couldn't give that to her at this time. We decided to rehome and a the nicest family came and got her Saturday. He had a 2 acre pond and several other ducks it was the...
My duck Dorothy quacks all night! She wakes up my Pyrenees and then he barks and then my rooster starts! Her siblings were killed by a hawks 4 months ago and she has never been friendly! How do I get her to stop?
