I think it's an abcess, I'm not sure though. What do you think and what do you think I should do? It's a welsummer and it acts just fine so far. I got them wed. and saw this just a minute ago. It is not on it's vent just in case you can't tell fromthe pic. It's about a quarter inch below I...
Have any of you ever used an ultrasonic bird repeller for keeping chickens off of or out of a place? They poop all over my garage pad, and I hate to keep them cooped up all day. There are some for about 40-50 dollars and I think it would be totally worth a try, but I wanted to see if any of...
This is Ruger! Our 20 week old Light Brahma who just learned to crow. HILARIOUS! And he has gotten a lot better in the last few days. Will it get any longer? Bless his heart!
My daughter is ALWAYS able to get them to squat. I guess she chases them as much as a rooster would so they just do the squat for her too. Great pic of it though I thought, with the tail down and everything.
I can't wait! I ordered from Ideal and am so excited. They have been so nice. Hope it all turns out good. They added 2 to my order no problem and even called yesterday to make sure our area was OK from Hurricane Irene before they ship them. WOW. I will be posting pics when I get them. I...
Ok, so I have 2 chickens who have each layed three double yolkers each in the 2 weeks they have been laying. Do you think it's just newbie laying issues or something that might continue? I hope it continues, but have read it can happen a lot when they first start.
Ok,so we made a terrible mistake and got 5 chickens from a girl and I knew when we pulled up we should have left, but we drove 3 hrs to this place so I went on with getting a few birds. The place was stinky, but it had just rained very hard for a few days before so I thought maybe that was the...
These are some I took today!
My Roo man, Prince Adam
Princess Phoebe getting a drink of fresh water from the turtle sandbox top that I filled up for them for a little cool off if they wanted.
Princess Rose, deer in the headlights look! She is the most spooky so this fit her perfectly...
We just redid our run and coop. We moved the door that goes from the run to our yard and the chickens are sooooo confused. They can't find the door for anything. They go out in the morning to free range and I have had to put another waterer where they hang out during the day. I've showed...
I found a girl who raises Black Copper Marans and Lavender Orpingtons!!!! It looks like a nice place and she invited us to come up and see everything! Hopefully going tomorrow, if not, then Saturday!!!!! YAY!!!!
So right now we have 10 chickens in a 25 square foot coop and a 200 square foot run. It goes like this...... the run is just 20 x 10 dog kennel 10 ft high, with the concrete shed being 1 10 ft section in the run. The coop is 5ft x 5 ft x 4'tall inside and has 4 nesting boxes. It sits 2-3 ft...
I'm in southeastern NC and would like just a few more chicks or chickens to add to my flock. Hens only, since I have 9 hens and one roo already. LEt me know if you have any for sale, I'm willing to drive a couple of hours if I need to! Thanks All!
So Princess Portias first egg was 3 days ago and it was soft shell and broken but today I went out to check and I thought at first that it was one of the plastic easter eggs i had put in last week, but NOPE! I had heard that BSL were notorious for double yolkers. I'm guessing that is what...
