Hello!
Me…. Again. (And I’ll be back again tomorrow to play this game again)
SLW- 6-7 weeks old.
What do we think?
I’m assuming one of each.
So is another friend. But we aren’t sure.
This Araucana belongs to someone I know.. They’ve asked for opinions on if it’s a boy or a girl. I’m feeling boy. However others have said it’s a girl.
Any opinions?
:)
gender of this baby? Frizzle.
Noting: I got worried it’s a boy due to wattle and comb development and colour.
Someone said it was a girl tho..
but I’m really unsure!
So,
Wondering if anyone can pin point what’s happening?
We’ve got a chick going down hill. awful smell (think haven’t cleaned coop in a while bad smell but it’s clean). She’s lethargic, (pale comb etc), doesn’t want to eat or drink. Poop is normal. No resp illness.
No lice etc.
What could it...
These two girls belong to a friend of mine, she’s asked me to share them in hopes maybe someone can suggest what her lighter girl may be? (Both were said to be isa browns. The lighter one is 2, darker one is 18mo). Both lay. Lighter girl lays an egg that’s lighter (light brown- sometimes white)...
Today one of our chicks was injured. I’ve kept her quiet all day (in dark box) she does NOT go outside.
I just moved her into a cat carrier so she’s more secure for the night. And this was her poop?
Note: POOP photo is in comments. Don’t read past this if you don’t wanna look? 🤷🏼♀️🥲
Note...
I did post this sweetie weeks ago. She was said to be an Araucana. (We are in Australia if this makes a difference)
Just wanna check if we still think that? Or if she’s more Easter egger?
And I guess I better ask.
She is a girl …. Right? 😂 💛 🙃
Hey all!
So we are looking at selling eggs eventually (for consumption. We are not allowed roosters, so no eggs will be fertile). Now I’ve looked into our state laws, so no issue there.
But I’m wondering a few things I’m hoping other egg sellers can help me with? I havent sold eggs before (I...
We have a mixed flock. And I’m curious when they typically will start laying? In your experience/knowledge!
Our flock consists of:
- Brahma
- Araucana
- Frizzle x Araucana
- Easter Egger
- Pekin Bantam
- Belgian D’uccle
- Lavender Sussex
- Polish
Day 12.
Belgian d’uccle eggs.
6 were fertile and nice looking at day 7. Now it’s day 12 and I’m pretty sure most are goners except one. But who knows! Help me out!
(I forgot to take a pic of egg 6.)
Anyway at day 6-7 they all had veins and looked like they were developing well. But now only...
What else are we missing from our home made coop?
the power tools will be removed. No tradie chickens here 😂
Different level roosts due to chicken ages/sizes.. there is a ramp for the upper level nesting boxes too. :)
Hey all.
So,
Quick run down:
We have 3 older chickens (2x Brahmas and 1x silkie x araucana) (7-13 weeks old).
We have 1x 4-5 week old chick (was told to be an araucana. But could be an Easter egger too).
And we have our now 7 chicks (was 8, now 7 due to the unfortunate passing of one.)...
So, we just hatched eggs!
But I’m confused.
Breed of eggs we bought:
- Araucana
- Maran
- Res laced blue wynadotte
- Pekin bantam
- double laced barnvelder
None of ours are marans.
The pekins were easy.
But what are these guys?
Noting, 2 hatched out of pale blue eggs.
1 hatched out of...
We went into lockdown yesterday (day 18) had 2 pip at 8 and 9pm (approx)
Had a further 3 pip between 10pm and 6am. another pipped while another hatched. Leaving us with 4 not pipped .
Egg 1 - hatched 15hrs ish after external pip (11:29am)
Egg 2- external pip last night around 9pm ish -...
We have some chicks, between 2-3 weeks old now.
3 purchased from one place in the same brooder together.
And one is a downright bully!?!
Keeps attacking the white chick and the smaller blue one. (Also keeps just standing on the small blue one)
(in a temp cage atm, while I clean the brooder...
