today I took her out to go back with...

Lagerdogger are these any better? I do not care if they are mix breeds I think they are beautiful and I really like them I just thought it would be good to know. And my phone went in for repairs and they could not retrieve the information so I lost all the man who sold them to me said that I...
I will try and get one thanks for helping. I am sick with flue right now how is this heat I got that is beyond me I will get the shot as soon as I can. Again thank you.
Can someone tell me what breed this is. I was at a swap meet and loved the coloring of the Tom but just could not get him and leave his mate behind. And she is so beautiful. I asked the seller and put the information in my phone and my phone did a automated update and I lost ALL my...
Can someone tell me what kind of turkey's these are? The light brown and white one is a female the other is her mate. I got them today at a swap meet. I asked what kind and put it in my phone and my phone died and I lost my information. I looked at a lot of breeds and just can not remember...
I have 1 Jersey Giant rooster and 3 Jersey hens. I use to have 2 roosters of this breed. I had to give one away to a good home as he was always on my hens. At the time I had no idea I had 3 roos 2 Jersey and one Bantam. Now my other Jersey is beautiful and getting big and I am glad I have...
Hi,
I am getting two Barred Rock hens 1 year old. They are on a another brand of feed then I use for my hens. If the ingredients are close can I give the new hens what I am feeding mine or do I need to get the brand she is using and stick with that. She is using Layena for laying hens...
This is my Jersey Black Roosters new home. There are many more hens they just all took off once he was introduced to them..This one hen stuck around to check him out.
This is Zoe my most friendly hen. I had just read this morning some treat ideas so I tried it. Took all of them awhile to...
Thank you.
I also should not have taken it so personally. I have so much to learn and realize having chickens is more then just thinking they are cute. I just got a book on what they can eat and what plants they can not. As I own a landscape business and have lots of varieties of plants...
Thank you CochinBrahmaLover for your reply. My daughter picked the Bantam's and the rooster is just so handsome. He is white with dark long tail the hen is brown with black speckles.
We are enjoying our chickens especially now that we are letting them roam our property. They have such neat...
UPDATE
Thanks for all the advice. I found someone to take my two Jearsy Rooster today. So I will only have one bantam rooster and I will keep him no matter how inexperienced I am .. I like him he is very good looking
I asked the questions as I am new. I appreciate your advice but please understand I DID NOT set out to get roosters. I was told I had hens I am not an ignorant person so I knew I might end up with some roosters. As Soon as I noticed the problem I asked the questions. So as u are much more...
Thanks,
I think your right about the the ages. I kept my reciept's for them just can not find them I know I got them when it was too cold to keep them outside. I got the fist batch the Jersy's and the brown ones at TSC then next set I got just about the time they could go out but they were so...
I have 8 hens they are about 4 months. Their combs are not that big. Now my one rooster whom I think is aggressive has a large comb and large things that hang down off his chin. ( do not know what those are called) My hens do not seem to allow the mating just yet. I just see them running...
HI,
I am new to chickens and I have posted here before showed photos of my movable coops. Got great idea from all of you. Now I have this question. What is the ritual of a rooster and a hen..I have 2 Jearsy Black roosters and 4 Jearsy hens. One Jearsy black rooster has to be kept separate as...
I got rid of all 4 of mine they were mean. Still a bit young and in a rabbit pen but would come at me every time I went to feed um. They now are free range just got my 2 movable coop done they might have been better in that. Might have given them away a little to fast but my daughter took them...
