I have a handsome Partridge pendescenca rooster that I raised from a day old chick (originally from mypetchicken). He is about 11 months old now. The breed lays very dark brown eggs and I wish I could keep him, but I do not have the space in my coops. Hopefully someone can give him a home where...
Thanks :(. I can contact them but they only offer refund or replacement after a loss of 48 hours after shipping and she died 4 days after they arrived. Right now I am focused on keeping the others healthy.
Thanks for all the advice. Sadly I think she is not going to last the night. There is lots of space in the brooder, the chicks have access to 2 feeders, 3 water sources. I have given her probiotics, electrolytes, applesauce, offered finely chopped egg, yogurt as well as regular chick starter...
Thanks, I hope so. She is so passive that the other chicks literally walk all over her. I just sat at the brooder and made sure she could eat until she was full without being jumped on. She is such a sweetheart I really hope she perks up.
I think she also may be younger than the others. Some...
I should add they are eating organic chick starter, they have been vaccinated and they have unlimited access to food and water (right now both a nipple waterer and the other kind.) The warmer is a 20 chick Brinsea and they are in a cardboard box brooder with puppy pads over shavings in a large...
I got some 2-3 day old chicks on Tuesday. All has been great. 10 are growing, running about, eating, drinking and doing what chicks should do. One (a lavender orpington) is hanging out under the warmer much more, barely eating and I can now tell she is not growing at the same rate as the others...
We just got 5 hens and we have named them:
Silkie - Fluffy Meringue
Copper Marans - Queen Benedict
Unknown girl - Frittata
Easter egger 1 - Scramble
Easter egger 2 - Omlet
As a group I call them Fluffy Butts - or just The Girls. The coop is Cluckingham Palace
Her legs are gray - and yes it is a large flopped over comb. The eggs she lays are pretty pinkish brown with little speckles. I think you are right she is probably some kind of chicken mutt :)
I got this hen (we named her Frittata) from someone who had to move and couldn't take her chickens with her. She is about 14 months old and lays light brown, kind of pinkish-brown eggs. She is not big (that is a copper Marans in the picture behind her) and she has a fairly large single comb. She...
Hi everyone
I finally am back to some chickens. I grew up on a farm in England and we always had chickens, bantams, geese (the best guard "dogs").
I found someone who had to move and needed to get rid of their coop, run and 5 birds. They are all about 14 months old and I have 2 easter...
