Started with 10 chicks, sent 3 definite boys away at 8 weeks old. I am left with 7... hopefully pullets. I am only keeping 4 but the rest have an excellent home waiting if they are girls!
I can get closer pictures of anyone who is a suspected boy.
Any breed guesses would be awesome too!
Hello all!
I have been without chickens for 5 sad years and with the current situation it seemed like the perfect time to start again. These were fifty cents each through some guy to a friend of a friend so I have no idea what they are. I have had them since 2 weeks old, they have just turned 8...
Today when collecting eggs I noticed a small black bug in the nest box. I was curious so I pushed some savings a aside and to my horror a flea! Growing up with cats and dog you can trust that I know a flee when I see one. After further investigation in all of the boxes sure enough there were...
@cityfarmer12 His name is Mortimer :)
@Lady of McCamley I cannot believe the variations that have shown up. The colours! The straight combs and pea combs! Tulip even has a few feathers on her legs! I am really hoping for green eggs all around too :D
You guys are probably right about Peony. :( I was just hoping because he/she is a solid colour there was a chance. @cityfarmer12 Dad is an awesome rooster and quite friendly. To anyone in the BC Lower mainland he is free to a good home! Definitely can't keep him with his daughters around...
Our lovely hen Lilly ran off the the woods, made a nest and hatched some chicks! 16 in total, we lost 1 somewhere and I sold 10 to a nearby farm (my flock is a little larger than the 6 I promised my husband)
So I am left with 5 chicks! All 5 are different colours, 1 is male for sure and I am...
Didn't get around to candling, seemed like a two person job fending off the stinging nettles... BUT when I check on her this morning, 3 baby chicks! Maybe more, now I need advise, is it safe to move her and the babies? I don't want to traumatize anyone but I would like them to survive and her...
I could candle them although I will definitely have to do some research into what I am looking for! Maybe I will get my husbands assistance and see if we can get some pictures tonight.
One of my ladies has been gone for about 3 weeks. She normally re appears mid day for an hour or so. I was finally able to follow her back to her nest yesterday, she has 15+ eggs. I am wondering if it's possible that any chicks will hatch if she's leaving them for probably close to an hour every...
Perhaps an Amber Link? I have a pullet with the same colouring but her comb is much smaller right now and she is slowly getting more red all over.
The fist two are buttercup, younger and then last week. The last is of a cockerel that came with her.
