Olive the Olive Egger is about 11 to 12 weeks old. Olive started to get a red comb, i am new to this breed, and the pea comb. So i am stuck. I hope Olive is a hen, but looks like a rooster? I have a few pictures, but i will be getting better ones of the wings, tail, saddle, and feet tomorrow as...
I am having a major problem with my Rooster, he is a big SS rooster, my guess ten pounds if not a bit more, he is a big bird.
Well i have been having problems with his feet. This past week two of his toe nails have broken off. I am not sure whats going on with his feet at all. They look pretty...
Hey guys! Its been a long time since i have gotten on.
Anyways right to it, so far every year since i have had my chickens i have always seen the ducklings as well at the feed stores and all their cuteness. I have been thinking about this alot. TSC i think, you have to buy a min of 6 ducks...
I have 2 SLW one looks so much different then the other. One has a skinny looking rose cob and the other is wider. I used to have a GLW chick who was supposed to be a pullet, turned into a roo, he had a wide cob as well. So anyone who deals with Wyanndotte's more then i have, since this is...
On the tips of her Golden laced feathers looks like she has some white there. Any ideas? Or is it just the fuzz? I had one GLW before, he didn't feather like that.
I have 1 EE Bunny, is what i call it, so Bunny is feathering out slowly...I already see a bump on its head...like a little one where the cob goes. Already i don't think it looks too good. Bunny is 2 weeks old. Has wing feathers and is starting tail feathers.
I know to young to sex, just give...
My little EE chick has not been doing well at all. I got her saturday and she still have not recovered from the shipping. I gave her Save a chick in some water. But after she got done drinking she threw a clear thing up, i think it was the water. She has only eaten once as i have seen, and drank...
I got her Saturday, a little EE chick, i only seen her eat like once, she drinks. But i was feeling her up a bit and her crop is empty. She is thin i can feel her bones a bit more then i can her other nest buddy. (Another EE i got the same day) I don't know why she is not eating, she lays around...
Hi, i have two chicks i got today, i was told ameraucanas. But i just want to make sure what i have.
They don't have blue legs..i am not sure what color legs they have.
I plan on getting my chicks from my local feed store. They don't have a min buy. So i could buy two if i wanted but. They do have the breeds i am wanting. On the 14 or 15 they will be getting EE's, Black Aust. I plan on getting 2 EE's and 1 Aust.Now on the 21 they are getting SLW and GLW i plan...
Not even sure where this would go, but it involves eggs.
I have 2 egg eaters, no not chickens, they are dogs! My two dogs are stealing my eggs from my nest and eating them! How do i stop this behavior?
Hello, it has been a while since i have posted anything at all on here, but here i go.
This is my hens second winter, now the first winter like all good little pullets they laid right through it, but now that this is their second winter they have yet to start laying after they molted. The days...
I was looking at my rooster just today and found a bug on him, i am not sure what kind of bug it was but i remember reading something about some kind of dust that can be bought to kill those kind of bugs while the bird takes a dust bath, i don't know what it is called.
Is the dust called DT...
These chicks were hatched by my hen only 5 weeks ago, only 3 made it out of 8 eggs, 2 didn't hatch and 3 didn't live, so three only living ones. None have names but i am worried that all are roosters, which is a depressing thought in a way. So here we go. # 1 #2 #3, sorry it moved a bit.
So...
I am really confused on the behaviors of my hens, mainly two of them. Both are about a year old and keep growling at me when I reach in to get eggs.
First my SS hen was the one I first saw in the box, I would reach in, she would puff all up and get all mad at me, so I figured she was going...
I am really thinking about making a hoop run this year for my chickens. I have a run right now but it was extreamly hard to keep the run dry. The plastic i had on the top kept getting holes in it.
So my big question is, what kind of pvc to use? I live in indiana and it is a pain with the...
My friend has this half blind chicken. They think she poked her eye with something, not quite sure. BUt she can see out of one eye.
Well they dont want her anymore, and it is re-home her or eat her. She is still young just born this spring, so she is laying too. They asked me and i said i would...
I should have moved them out sooner...But i just couldn't, it has been either raining or cold. Still i should have put them out into the barn.
My chicks are about 12 weeks old, the temp is maybe 36 outside right now. I have them somewhat covers up and a windblocker infront of them (they are in...
