I’ve had my Delaware hen since the beginning of my chicken adventure last year. She’s always been my boss girl, top of the pecking order, and keeps everyone in line. Lately she has been pushed to the absolute bottom of the pecking order. Like, even the 2 month old ducklings chase her off, and...
No, she still hasn’t laid any as of yet. I’m not sure of her age, so I don’t know if she’s started laying yet. All my other girls lay brown though, so if there’s a new color at any point, it would have to be her.
So about a month ago, I came home from work to find one single chicken in my yard. None of my neighbors have chickens, and no one ever came looking for her. My husband and I had discussed getting chickens, and this just kind of jump started our plans for that lol. We kept her alone for a while...
I took this one yesterday. But I don't think it was bleeding then. I'd go get a picture now, but it's already dark out, and the chickens are already asleep.
As we live in an area where large dogs often roam free, I always supervise my girls when they are out. I usually will let them out while I fill their feeder, clean the coop, rake up leaves and grass to add to the run, and clean their water. It usually takes me around an hour to do all of the...
Today, they got a TON of dry leaves. I'm trying to really get some thick bedding down in the run before it gets really cold. And I strung up some Bell Pepper, and Cucumber so they had to jump to get it. They had fun with that!
This afternoon when I went outside, I picked up my rooster to cuddle him for a minute. I noticed that his comb seemed to be wet, and I touched it, only to find that it was blood! There are no visible cuts, scratches, etc. The blood just seems to be coming straight out of his comb. Any ideas as...
I work at a Miniature Horse farm, that also raises ducks. Talk about a ton of ducks! One mother with her 14 adult babies (6 female, 8 male), 14 adult orphans(9 females, 5 males), 2 other females, and 7 adult males. And when you call them to be fed, they come running, waddling, and FLYING out of...
Hahaha! That's why I find Moe so amazing, though. He was beaten, abused, and terrified when we found him. Yet even when he was spooking at something, he always made sure to never step on me, push me, etc. It's just a shame that a horse with such a good heart had to go through what he did.
He is that! Haha! Now that he is getting better, I take him out on his lead line into the dressage arena and do walk, trot, halt, and back up work with him. And about every 5 steps we take, he arches his neck just right so that he can seach my pockets while we walk
So cute! She looks alot like a horse I used to ride name Peach. She was a good girl, but had a hard time jumping and was known to canter away with her rider
Yeah, I have to do everything possible to keep my Dad away from the chickens. Because I think if Luna attacks him one more time, it most likely won't end well...
Another large bag of dreid leaves, corn sprinkled into the leaves, a "flock loaf" (I tried to make a Flock Block for the first time, and it didn't turn out hard enough to be called a block But they LOVED it!), and I strung up some lettuce leaves for them to jump up to get and peck at.
Yes we do! I just went to an Epilepsy seminar a few days ago, and they showed the time-line of Epilepy medications, and it'samazing how many new drugs they've come up with in just the past ten years! I'm so happy that you have found a medication that keeps your daughter seizure-free! My Aunt...
It depends. He really loves me. I can hold him, cuddle him, carry him on his back like a baby, rub his stomach, etc. He tolerates my mom. But he HATES my dad. Like, he goes into full force attack mode as soon as he sees him. He is ok with one of my dogs, but can't stand the other one. So, like I...
