I'd like to get another round of votes if these two are cockerels or pullets? Originally we thought the lighter one was a pullet, and the darker one was a roo, BUT now I think it's the opposite :confused:
I'd like to hear experiences with outdoor dogs. We got another dog. I wanted her for an outdoor dog. She is an antolian shepherd/ pyrenees mix (50/50). She loves being outdoors. We have our "family" dog who lives inside, but is trained to be on our property and run around. I know it's probably...
The breeder we bought our chickens off of said we should give the chickens vitamin B12 for winter time..Is that something in your guys experience is needed/necessary? They seem very healthy, and the eggs we are getting are good quality. I do not want to hurt them by giving them something they...
Why do chickens like sitting in the rain? I know it's not just mine! I worry because it is cooler at night about 40 right now at night. I don't want them catching a cold. They don't seem the least bit worried about it..they'll go hang under a little playhouse we have in their run, but they don't...
We just brought two chicks home today. They are six weeks old. I thought it would be fun for us all to guess cockerel or pullet!
Salt is picture 1 and Pepper is picture 2 and picture three is them together
We brought our new chicks and mama home today, and I am not happy with how the mama looks.Also one of the chicks seems to have a mark on its comb. Do you guys have any idea what this maybe? They were in an isolated coop. It was a wooden coop with a small amount of straw. Should I just let it...
After losing our first flock I wasn't sure I'd get over it, but here we are a few months later. This new crew keeps us laughing, and while we are still working to make them more tame everything is going well. We got our first eggs today. I'm so excited and blessed by LORD JESUS for new life...
We have two chicks that are breeder is keeping for us until they are six weeks old, which will be November 13 and then she will need us to pick them up. She has had them with their Mama, and she has a brooder heat plate. I was thinking I should buy a brooder plate as well since she has raised...
I'm so upset and can't stop crying I came out to our coop to our whole flock slaughtered by probably a mink. I'm so upset..I know it's my fault for not having it as secured as I wanted..we have had our chickens for months with no problems..we are just going to have to do with out to afford...
After many weeks of waiting the day has come! Praise LORD JESUS we found NINE eggs today! Six first thing this morning and then three more by noonish! Our family is so excited!!
LORD JESUS IS KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!
We have been told our neighbors in front of us feed a family of three foxes..this is really concerning to me for my children, kitties, dog, and chickens. From your guys experience will it keep them away from our property or just lure them to our area? We have only seen them in our cameras on our...
So I have three chickens that are on watch for being cockerels..I'm just so confused by their attitudes/behaviours..I have not heard any of them crow yet..my sons have in the early morning..but I'm not convinced it was a true crow,because we have some very noisy pullets :) The three I'm...
Hello! I'm a first time chicken owner. As a backstory I bought my chickens from a woman I met at the farmer's market a year ago. I have also bought eggs for eating off of her, and seen her flock. She let me come to her home and see her coops and chickens. I knew I would be getting mixed breeds...
