OK so I have several types of pure breed chickens. However, I have several cross-chicks are hatching now. I know for sure I have one GLW/Partridge Cochin Cross. And One Buff Polish looks pure. But the new one that just hatched I am not sure if it is a Partridge Cochin/Buff Polish cross or if...

My littlest hen went broody first. but within a week 3 more followed so the stack of eggs plus more eggs got divided up among them. I have 6 different breeds and pheasant eggs they are sitting on. I never bothered candeling. They move the eggs around from inside the circle to outside the...

My first chick hatched today and I have 3 broodies sitting on about 30 more. Hopefully Hatching out within the next 2 weeks She/he is a golden laced wyandotte, partridge cochin cross. Looks just like the GLW but with fuzzy legs. Doing well, I can't wait for some company to join in the...

Thats excellent. I watched one of my cochins the other day lay an egg, and then never get up to leave after about an hour I thought what is she doing going broody or something and I came close to her to offer some scratch she stood up hissing and out plopped a double yoker. Thats basically...

There went the pheasant coop and I live where it doesn't snow at least not like this _ ever.... Now the pheasants sleep with the chickens but they don't mind If it werent for the extra wood supports I would have been crushed along with the birds. (No injuries thank God)

some can I read Sumatras can have as many as 5 spurs I don't know about any other breeds though

I don't even have TV anymore since we got the chickens we cancelled dish and just watch chickens roosters and pheasants and salmon spawning all day long pretty much, besides the occasional rerun dvd's we own. Chickens are charismatic, medatative, hypnotive, serene, and enjoyable. I love them.

I think those are both pullets, you should be able to tell by the hackle feathers I have 5 black sumatras, for a long time I thought I had 2 roos until the saddle feathers and hackle feathers came in. Only 1 roo and 4 pullets.

depends on your birds and how happy they are. I was scared about it from reading alot of posts and seeing people with real problems, but I noticed most of those having issues didn't have alot of room for their birds either. I had (3) 6 month old when I introduced 20 new chicks in my flock 8...

I read that Cedar and Pine were both bad. Cedar smell just as pinesol smell irratates their respiratory system making them more susceptible to respiratory infection. I use White - Fir Shavings I have been really happy with the stallion brand I think it is called. They really pack alot of...

I hang 2 heat lamps, red bulb, in my coop, and my chickens are still laying daily. Light is important for egg production, and it keeps the coop slightly warmer as well. Good Luck

I deworm my chickens whenever I see runny or gooy poo that doesn't look normal. I use dewormer that you put in the water. I get it from my local farm feed store. It is the same wormer used for swine, poultry, cattle etc. Of course I only use a capful for 3 gallons of water.

My first three were maybe 8 weeks when I got them. Very friendly, lovely chickens. My next 26 were ordered as day old chicks. Some of them have always been friendlier than the others, part depends on breed and personality. But when there is 25 they can't really all be in your lap/ arms at the...
