I ordered from My Pet Chicken. My chicks hatched on a Wednesday and my post office called me at 6 am Friday morning to let me know they were in lol. No issues :)
I'm sorry, I don't know anything about quails :(
But I wanted to say that's really cool about your famous chickens :) I think The Maze Runner is going to be a big movie, maybe a series if it does well. I have the books, but I haven't read them yet.
Okay two of my five girls have turned over to the dark side and started egg eating. To combat, I had a new nest box built with a slanted floor and a partition to block them from getting to the eggs. I installed it yesterday morning. I also picked them up some oyster shell in case they were...
Well I packed up some wood and went to my dad's shop yesterday afternoon. He had no idea what I was talking about when I said roll away nest box, but I printed a picture and he built one for me! Three eggs today so far and nothing broken or eaten! I went ahead and picked up some oyster shell as...
Well I don't know how to use the power tools and DH won't be home for two weeks so... guess I'm gonna have to get creative :) I'm making a trip to town this afternoon so I'll stop by tractor supply and the hardware store to see if they have any ideas. I can work the drill and the staple gun, but...
Lol at "off with their heads" :)
I'm considering this roll away nest box thing. However, my husband is out of town so I would have to figure out how to make it on my own. Nowhere around here sells them, and since we made our own nest boxes it looks like the inserts won't fit.
Hey everybody! I haven't posted in this thread for a while and I don't recognize anybody from the last few pages, so I'll reintroduce myself. I'm Mandi :) I live in Polkville, MS (central state). Right now we have two dogs (catahoula and lab), 5 plymouth rock hens and a mini rex bunny with 7...
I have 3 barred rock and 2 white rock hens. I've had at least one egg eater for about two weeks now, but haven't been home to keep an eye on them to see who it was. Two days ago I put a mustard egg in the nest box and caught one of my white rocks red handed.. well, mustard beaked. And contrary...
I have some super adorable baby bunnies :) My Mini Rex bred with a Mini Lop and we got 7 adorable kits. They're 10 days old now, and they just opened their eyes. First question is, when should I remove the nest box? Most of what I saw online said 2-3 weeks but they just opened their eyes today...
Hey everyone! We've had our dog Copper for about 16 months now. Not 100% sure on his breed as he is adopted, but I've been told on dog forums that he looks at least part Catahoula. That is how I think of him anyway lol. He's around 2 years old now. This is him with my human pet
I have 5 one year old plymouth rock hens. For the last few days I've noticed they spend all day in the coup! It has been particularly nice weather, so I'm baffled. When I go into the run so see what their deal is they come out to greet me (wondering why I didn't bring a treat, I'm sure!). I see...
Oh, I have a plethora of issues today
My Plymouth rock girls are a year old now. Over the two weeks, I've noticed a significant decrease in egg production. I just assumed that with them being a year old now that it would be molting. I was getting 4-5 a day (from 5 layers) and it went down to...
My husband and I are considering adding to our flock (which currently consists of 3 barred and 3 white rocks, all hens). We originally chose our Plymouth rocks because of their egg laying rate.
For our new birds, we want to get a breed that will be multi-purpose. We want eggs, but we also...
My son just got a pet rabbit (it wasn't for me, I swear!). He's a little mini rex, SO adorable. We have him inside in a 3x2 wire rabbit cage, then I have one of those big "kid pens" from when my son was little that we set up in the den for his safe play time. He loves playing in there! I was...
I have 6 plymouth rock hens(3 barred, 3 white). They have been laying since January, light to medium brown eggs. Today I got one that is off white. Is that normal? Is it a symptom of anything? Maybe a dietary problem or something?
I was collecting my eggs today and saw two of the nest boxes had a few drops of dried blood in them. Neither box had any eggs. The third box had a few eggs, one of which had a blood smear. There was also a crushed up egg shell.
I checked all 6 girls but none of them have any blood on them...
