I just seen your post from several years ago.. lol... I hope you still get this message.
I currently have 7 hens and moving from St Peters, MO to High Ridge. what happened with your chicken situation?
Karen
I have (i think) 4 rhode island hens, they have the rounded feathers and I looked and tried to sex them to make sure, but 1 in particular is noisy and load, and makes a morning rooster noise between 530-7pm, it will go after me if appoached, they are all 17 weeks old. they all look alike and...
I also have two dogs who are curious about my chicks, I allow my dogs to be around the chicks to get used to them, in hopes once they go into the coop and are free range they know they are not a harm and will only protect them as family members. The dogs are curious and only in curiousity have...
In St Peters, Missouri, I have 16 (5) week old chicks in a spare bedroom, I purchased a coop from Rural King 2 weeks ago and put it up in a bedroom due to being too cold for the chicks to be outside. When will I be able to put them in the coop? My coop is built around the outer part of a...
I had checked their vents and wings, looks to me most of them are girls, but one buff orp wing feathers look a little different, they seem a little rounded on the ends but where they start from the body are straight, that one particuarly looks a slight different, that one is my baby, it has...
I have 16 chicks at 3 weeks old, they are still in their original brooders, which are plastic storage containers, with their own heat lamps, some are wanting to fly and perch on top of the food container in the brooder, they are wanting to fly more and more every day and needing more room, I...
they did tell me that they were 236 ideal males, but I need to make sure, I will have to give them away, I dont need roosters.. but if some of the 6 come to be ladies, I will keep them, and I want to make sure that the ones I have are true girls.
I purchased 7 buff orps and 3 plymouth barred rocks, and Ideal sent me 6 extra chicks to keep them warm, I have no idea what sex or what breed they are, but they are yellow, they said that they sent extra for space in the box and wartm and that they are "236 Ideal Males", what in the world does...
The broom stick over the brooder is a good idea, I was waiting for my son to make something special, but I will have to deal with what I have. the proper space isnt going to be a problem, I just found out that 9 turned into 7, two of which I ordered were not shipped yet.
I have two jar lids...
My 9 chicks are on their way from Ideal in Tx. should be here between today and tomorrow. so excited and scared, this is my first time. I hope I have every thing ready, its like getting ready to have a baby of my own but 9... haha... I am wandering if one brooder light is enough, I will have...
Have you decided to make these on a full time basis? These are a wonderful idea and they really stand out.
I just joined BYC, new to the chicken experience and getting my first chickens in about a month.
How can you be contacted to order some? I know my Buffs are going to be very spoiled...
what do you charge and do you ship? I live in Missouri
When will you have Faverolles hacking again? I would like possibly 3
I am also interested in a couple chocolate and buff/lemon orpingtons.
I will be ready in about a month for chicks. Please keep me in mind..
WOW.. all I can say is thank you so much, I have been reading books and have never ready about adding sand.
I have an ALL dirt floor, we just moved to this house and the coop was pre-existing, I have been working my "tail" off racking all the stray out, I need assistance with the best way to...
