    Friesian Fowl Q&A Discussion Thread

    Hey, here's a wee update on the Fresians. The babies are now about 3 weeks me you can start to see their colouring come in. It's also pretty obvious now that there's two boys and 4 girls, the boys have quite pronounced combs. They're very flighty skitterish things, but I think that's part of...

    Horizontal Nipple Waterers

    Hi SusanJo, I'm not quite sure what that is but I use a nipple drinker for my main flock. It's gravity fed so you just attach the hose that comes with it to a container and hang it somewhere. I rigged this up myself recently and so glad I did. No more contaminated water and it lasts a good...

    Jo from England

    Hi Jo, where abouts are you? I'm new to hatching chicks too, had my first one 5 weeks ago, out of 4 viable eggs, three hatched, one died a week later leaving two left. I left the single unhatched egg in the incubator a couple more days just in case but it didn't happen :(. I'm led to believe...

    Well I actually only have these two chicks as they're the only ones who made out of 6. Not sure of the colouring yet, it wasn't mentioned when I bought the eggs. Maybe you could tell from that pic? Love to see a pic of your new chicks :)

    Friesian Fowl Q&A Discussion Thread

    Hi there, I'm posting on this thread rather than the sexing one as this is a rare breed and hope you can help being FF enthusiasts! This is mine (on the right) at 2.5 weeks old. They're a bit older now so could post a more recent one. Just wondering how and at what age you can sex these...

    Outside Rearing house for older chicks?

    Thanks for the reply Kelsie, yes it'd be a permanent one as I'd later use it for more hens when my current one is full. I'd like an integrated house and attached run but only a small one. Interesting idea with the doghouse, will look into that. Didn't know there was a UK thread, new to these...

    Outside Rearing house for older chicks?

    Hello guys, I have 2 young chicks ( 3 weeks old) in a brooder right now but I'm looking for a suitable rearing house for them when the time comes to move them outside. I also have some more eggs incubating which I set today. Already have small established flock in their own coop but they...

    Hello! Noob with chicken addiction spiralling out of control ;)

    I'm clearly not in the right place to find someone to talk me off the ledge....am I the only one my friends are now referring to me as the mad chicken lady?

    Hello! Noob with chicken addiction spiralling out of control ;)

    Excellent advice Hooligans, thank you. It seems all about the timing in introducing the wee ones. I'll certainly go that route.

    Hello! Noob with chicken addiction spiralling out of control ;)

    Thanks guys, TwoCrows I posted a reply quoting you and I've been diverted to the moderator...I'm such a forum noob lol. I didn't do anything naughty, honest. Anyway thank you and to Kelsie, yes giving in is the only option as I see it . A second coop for those little medical hiccups and...

    Hello! Noob with chicken addiction spiralling out of control ;)

    Hi TwoCrows, if my husband had anything to with, it an intervention would be well received! Sadly I think I'm too far gone. There is already chicken art in my house. And one has already made it into the kitchen :/ ( by accident, honest). The coop and run we have is actually huge, it's a...

    Hello! Noob with chicken addiction spiralling out of control ;)

    Hello there, glad to find this fantastic site! A bit of an intro; my kind husband built me a shed for chickens a few years ago and then I became pregnant, twice in a year in fact ;) Hurrah! Of course I had to wait until the double baby madness subsided and then, last November I finally...
