Long time no post here ^_^ I was doing some research around the board and remembered I had not poked my head in here for a while.
Anyone headed to the Poultry Workshop at Moss Mountain on the 21st? My husband and I went to the first one and so this time around I'm going with my mother as she...
Thanks all. My mom is still in the process of finishing up her girls big coop so we were going to wait a bit anyway before sending her there. We'll see if she breaks the habit first. It was just odd to us because they have all been together since the day we brought them home.
I need to pick yall's brains for a moment if I could. We have 4 hens (3 Speckled Sussex, 1 Cornish? Bantam) A week ago I went out and closed the door not checking the count as they had been so good about going in at night on their own. I was sitting by the window the next morning and had a mini...
Still waiting on our first eggs here ^_^ Our hens have been creating their own nests outside of the built nesting boxes but not laying yet. One of their siblings who went with my mom has laid her first two so I'm keeping an eye out.
Fantastic! I'd love to go to his farm.
Our neighbor's hen has her first eggs, the boys are already excited for ours to start laying even though we've got a ways to go. *chuckles*
Well, we had our very first chicken loss last night. Went out to close the coop and found my Brahma bantam girl. She'd gotten out of their temp yard and something got her.
I know what I'll be keeping an eye out for now as far as our next hen purchase/swap goes.
Fantastic, thanks ^_^ If anyone has a guess on gender I'm still keeping my fingers crossed it's a girl, but it's good to know where to start researching!
Hi all! I have read what I could so far of the thread and think I have a Brahma on my hands, but feel free to send me to another thread if I'm wrong!
I have a chick who's in between 5 and 6 weeks old who I was hoping you could all lend a hand in sexing.
This was a TSC Mystery Bantam so I...
First off, thank any and all of you in advance for your info!!!
We are in between 5 and 6 weeks old right now and have what seems to be a pea comb. The comb and such are a good bit more red in tone than the SS we have at the same age range who we've already spotted the difference in a boy and...
^_^ Thanks for the welcome.
I hear you on hoping for dry weather, we still need to paint the run and the humidity the past two days has kept us from it.
I may have to finagle Hubb into watching the kids or coming along for the show on the 21st. If not, we'll definitely swing by the Little...
Hi all!
I'm new to the chicken owner world as I got my chicks just a month ago. Kept meaning to sign up here and just did the other day. We purchased 8 Speckled Sussex and 2 mixed lot bantams from TSC. They all just moved outside this weekend as it's actually colder in the house than it is...
