I have four chickens, two Ameraucanas, a Plymouth Rock, and a Black Sex-Link (we think). They Ameraucanas are sisters and the two others are "sisters", and are basically two different flocks. I have always had trouble integrating the flocks, and need help! We tried putting them in at night...
I purchased three chicks this past summer and one did not make it, so I purchased two more at the local county fair. Since they are a few weeks apart, I could not have them together as chicks, but had them meet each other often. When the two older chickens moved to the coop, I had the two...
I have a four month old Barred Rock named Shadow. :) She does like to talk and follow me around, but what she REALLY likes to do is bite my fingers! She is a sweet birdy but unfortunately does not to like to be picked up. I can't wait until she starts laying. :)
I have two Ameraucana hens who are a little over five months old. I was told they would begin to lay in September but they haven't laid any eggs yet. The weather has been colder so I was wondering if that would affect their laying patterns? I also have a Plymouth Barred Rock and a Black...
I was wondering..... what table scraps/fruits and veggies can I feed my adult chickens? I have given them some crickets (though my blind Ameraucana couldn't catch any) but want to know what other treats would be okay to give them. Thanks ahead of time!
I purchased two chicks over the summer at the county fair, both supposedly Plymouth Rocks. They were both all black and exactly the same size when I got them. One of them, Shadow, is definitely a Plymouth Rock, with her beautiful black and white barred pattern and red crown. The other one...
Thank you everyone for getting back to me! Willa passed away two Thursdays ago and I have not been able to get online since. We got her Duramycin, but it was too late. The others were treated as a precaution for one week and are doing fine.... they have almost doubled in size within the last...
I have started her on sugar water. She has been drinking more and even eating a little bit! After I hand feed her, all she wants to do is sit in my lap. There is no nasal discharge at all, but she does peep every time she breathes. My father went to a local feed store and found some...
I purchased three chicks (my first) last week so they are exactly week old. They are all Ameraucanas and are as cute as can be! Mine is named Willa, and my sisters' are Pipsqueak and Pepper. Yesterday I came home around noon and Willa was looking terribly sick. She was in the corner on her...
I just got my first chicks last week an thought I should join this website for tips, tricks, and help. :) I have three girls: Willa, Pepper, and Pipsqueak, all Ameraucanas.
