Hi, do you still have Salmon Fav's for hatching. I have a bantam amercuana that went broody and I am looking for eggs for her to hatch. I also have 2 millie bantams and 1 quail danver. I love bantams and bantam eggs for hatching are so hard to find. I saw the Salmon Fav's and just fell in love...
Hi, I have a almost 3 month old millie pullet that has an eye issue going on. Its only one eye. if you look at her straight on its looks like half her face has dried dirt on her. Around the eye is black and crusty. Under her eye near her beak is what appears to be a black scab. it has been like...
We had 2 roosters Baked, Fried. (no we didn't actually bake or fry them. They moved to a farm)
Our 5 hens are...Grilled. amercuana
Benny and Flora (for eggs benedict and eggs Florentine) quail d'anvers
OE (over easy) and popcorn (popcorn chicken) millie fluers
They are roosting on the support beam above the door. The door is not going to fall. the perch however was a tree branch we put up with screws. It was attached to the top of the coop without support underneath. Lesson learned. We are correcting this and will NOT have anymore mishaps that can...
well good news!! Both her eyes are open and she is back to normal!!! No they haven't slept on the door before, I think your right, they were on the perch when it fell and got scared. They are sleeping on the door again tonight, guess they found a new spot.
Ok so I have read about this problem on other threads and it seemed to turn out fine. The thing is I haven't noticed this before. My chicks are new to the pen but they have already been accepted by my 4 month old pullet. They have been roosting together for the past few nights and she has been...
Well tonight was a good night!!! My babies have discovered the high perch in the pen. Its probably 5 to 6 feet up. I was surprised to watch them get up there, they roosted there last night while my 4 month old pullet slept in the hen house all alone. Originally the babies tried to go in there...
Thanks for the responses. I have a lot to learn. Just to show how new I am to chickens, I figured out that I was using the wrong terminology when I said my hen. She is actually a pullet, just about to be four months old and has not started laying yet. She is roughly two months older then the...
I guess I was on the right track with the holding pen for the babies, but didn't leave them in long enough. Should I maybe put them back in?
They seem to be doing ok, they just avoid my older hen. And for the most part she is avoiding them. She is still charging at them but not as bad as...
Hi, I had a rooster and hen around 4 months old. I was not sure if I was going to keep the roo or not so I got some baby hens to keep my hen company if I did rehome the roo. Well when the babies came we kept them in a holding pen inside the coop for 24 hours. They had plenty of space, food and...
Hi all, I got these two bantam ameraucana's. I think one is a rooster. I am pretty sure the other is a hen. They are 3-4 months old. Not sure if I have heard him crow, we had a bantam red rooster that crowed constantly. The bantam ameraucana that I think is a rooster and the red would square off...
Hi all,
I just got my new chickens a few months ago and this is my first time owning chickens. My mother in law has had them forever and I just loved watching them in her yard so much that when my husband and I got our house, I just had to have some of my own!!! I started out with 3 chickens...
