I truly hope it is not an "Easter Egger" I don't think we could get more ORDINARY than an EE. I hope it turns out to be an Andalusian or something more unusual. I think I might never order from this Hatchery again if they think an EE is "Rare and Exotic" I DO agree, it's a Roo. It even has the...
I would be extremely disappointed if the hatchery considered an EE a "Rare and Exotic Breed"
As well, I have Easter Eggers and I have to be honest it doesn't really remind me of an EE
On one hand I'm Clueless with almost no experience, so you could be right.
On the other hand I have the...
My guess from pictures on the net, is a Silver Laced Wyandotte. It's a WILD Guess based on limited internet pictures and ZERO knowledge. I'm not sure what this hatchery considers a Rare Exotic chicken, but I bet it isn't TOO rare or exotic for a FREE bird. I'll post more pictures as the weeks...
I have about a dozen ducks. 6 of them are runners. The oldest one is a White 3 month old female who in the last day or two began acting "quiet". I let the birds out to free range, but she now prefers to stay in the pen. she keeps her bill tucked close to her heaved chest. she walks around with...
Thank you for the link. I found several websites with info about ducks and niacin, but they were all extremely vague. Without your link I would have probably overdosed my duck on niacin.
Found HER! She was in an evergreen tree on the north side of the house. She didn't come out until the sun was shining on the tree. She STILL hasn't headed back to the chicken coop yet, but she's okay and that's all that matters.
Colorado got a pretty big snow storm yesterday. I notice during the storm one of the hens was missing. I figured she just hunkered down in an evergreen or somewhere and I'd see her at sundown at the chicken coop. Roost time came and went and no chicken. I thought when the sun comes up she would...
The chickens are laying fine. From 5 hens I'm getting about 20+ eggs a week this past month. They were ALL born around April 1, 2015. They are being fed an All flock and free range everyday. The Coop is in a Greenhouse during the Winter. The chicken eggs that I put in the duck coop were fine...
I have 2 Pekin hens. During the Winter I would get an occasional egg, but about a month ago even the occasional egg stopped. I look around the pen every day and there are no duck eggs. I have 4 Easter Egger hens and their nest box is in the same pen. I don't notice any missing or partially eaten...
I don't have them yet, but I want to be prepared.
Turkey Chick Brooder Temps.
I have chickens and ducks and know there is quite a difference in temp needs between them. What temperatures, and how long do Turkeys need to be in a temperature controlled environment?
