Hey there Frederick Co (Yellow Springs or Gambrill mountain) friends, is anyone looking for this girl? A friend who lives at the corner of Bethel/Yellow Springs (Hamburg) Rds found her in his yard. The pics are dark but she's black, maybe molting?
I got my BPR chicks (2 mo old) to agree with and live with my red sex links (17 weeks old), but I am not sure if it was because the BPR's were here first so the reds weren't so mean? They did chase and peck a little but by day 3, the BPR's were gladly going in the house with the bigger girls at...
I have to laugh at myself because all along I thought HE had the prettiest beak! Hence the name Candy Corn. I would have rather had an ugly beak now, I guess and I picked him out of the sexed pullet bin, of course! I already have 1 or 2 BPR roosters to get rid of. Sounds like you are a rooster...
Does anyone else think Candy Corn is a rooster? He/she is 5 weeks old and her comb is much bigger than the others. Plus she is spastic compared to my other little ones!
I read in an article on here once that chickens do better with a 2x4 for a roosting bar because their feet can be flat and it prevents frostbite? I haven't had my chickens a winter yet, so I don't know for sure, but just a thought your coop looks great!
Here are the 3 EE (green layers) chicks I got from the feed store for Mother's Day. They are 5 weeks right now, I can't wait to see them fully grown! We also have BPR & Red Star's but I love how these 3 look so different, I can actually tell them apart. They aren't as lovey-dovey as my others...
Great story, congrats! I have red stars, too but I got them at 17 weeks, and they are really coming around to be sweetie-pies. Totally enjoyable birds!
Hello from Frederick County (Yellow Springs area)! Anyone close by? We are new to chickens, have 17 week old red sex link pullets coming soon and then BPR chicks that someone surprised us with, they are about 2 weeks. Glad to have found this website!
We are ultra new to this chicken thing, we ordered 17 week old red sex link layers from a poultry farm that should be ready soon. Meanwhile my dad thought it would be cute and funny to give our kids chicks for Easter...which I was initially unhappy about but now have grown to be very attached to...
