Hi all!
My Cochin pullet appeared with this hurt beak when we came back from a trip. What happened? Is there anythIng I can do to help her? She is still eating and drinking to my knowledge, I just want her to be okay.
I feel like I’m posting on this topic way more than I should 🤦♀️ I have four newbies, one blue red laced Wyandotte, one lavender Cochin, one lavender Orpington, and one salmon favorolle. They are four months old, I put the Wyandotte in a local poultry show as a pullet, and they said she was a...
Unfortunately, today my baby Pebbles’s life was ended. She was the sweetest hen ever. She had such a long and happy life, holding so many memories. I truly treasured every last moment with her, she was sadly attacked by a bird of pray, and just wasn’t quite quick enough to get away. She was...
Blackberry my broodie just hatched two happy, healthy, silkie chicks! I came to gather eggs at 6:45 pm, to make some muffins with my mom 🥰 I came over and saw a raccoon, I counted all my chickens, and luckily everyone was there 😅 I went into the coop and found one egg. We needed two. My mom told...
It’s day 23 for my eggs under Blackberry ( broodie ). Yesterday morning I went to let my chickens out, everyone ( except Blackberry ) came out as usual. I scoped up three cups of pellets for 11 chickens outside, then I scooped a small bit of stage two chick food out for Blackberry ( I usually...
My not-so-little babies are growing up! They are around four weeks old now, and bigger than ever! I know that #1 is definitely a boy, but any ideas on the other two? I know there still young, but any guesses?
#1-French Copper Maran
#2- lavender australorp- from my hens
#3-black...
Silkies, Australorps, and maybe some mixes! Come along with me on the journey of Marshmallow and her eggs. I candled them yesterday and five out of seven were developing! There “ due date “ is approximately March 29, so it’s coming up soon! They will all be named my me and my family, and I think...
Guess what, I guess three new chicks wasn’t enough for my chickens. So now, Marshmallow one of my silkie hens has gone broody on seven eggs. Come along with me!
Hi,
I’m incubating chicks ( well, someone else is ) for my first time! 😁 I’m really excited, but… I’m going on vacation and only one person is going to be home, stuck with month old chicks, obviously I have to teach about pasty butt etc. but I think if I can get one of my hens to adopt them (...
Hello,
I have recently fallen in love with bantam frizzle polish chickens, I am located in british Colombia and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get some.
Let me know!
My older hen ( six years ), Pebbles, as of today is acting lethargic and she isn’t eating ( VERY unlike her ), she was drinking a lot of water last week but not anymore. She was on her perch tonight, no pale comb, no feathers missing. She had a case of lice & mites before but they seemed to be...
This is a thread of “ is it just me? “ because yes, I do stay up late in bed wondering if it is just me who, when they see a new thread, race to be the first one to reply and kick myself when @fluffycrow beats me to it… 😂😂😂😂😂
This is Pebbles,
she is almost seven years old and is the queen & grandma. She was my first chicken and has been in many a bad situation I bought her as a pullet when I knew nothing about chickens and how to care for them. She, and four other chickens ( now ☠️ ) were free ranging, walking down...
Anyone have some ideas on a cool looking chicken mix? Well, let me know and I might try for it in mid/late 2024. I will me selling all offsprings locally. Hopefully 🤞 I will have this breed selection by next ( 2024 ) spring ( Early June ) but breeds in bold writing will only be old enough for...
Ok,
What gender are these silkies? They were born on June 26/27th this year.
Chick #1 ( Dr. Z ) is definitely a rooster and has been crowing for the last month or two.
Chick #2 ( Nutella ) we are very stuck on them, they have not been crowing that we know of. They sometimes get in small...
I know that it’s different with every chicken, but I was wondering when approximately silkies start laying? Mine are 4 month old and still aren’t laying 😫 I’ll post a different thread with the gender questions later this week. When did yours start laying?
Are you buying / hatching chicks next year ( 2024 )? I’m getting salmon favorelles, Cochin, Orpingtons, and blue red laced wyandotte.
What are you getting?
Hi all,
I’m going to share a bit about my chickens!
Hope you like!
