Wow, thanks! After a little bit of reading I believe he has the Dyschondroplasia but am trying to supplement the D3 just in case. I really appreciate your help!
My daughter loves to hatch and hand-raise her chicks! Her current project involves English Orpingtons. She is trying to sell some to raise money for her dream: to own a horse. She has:
1 100% English BBS (LF) - 1 Black pullet - 14 weeks
vaccinated, from a NPIP certified farm in Ohio.
OMG they...
Started with 3-5 per day out of 8 chix (2 are geriatric but are the original starter flock so gotta keep them) but had to let go of 2 very vocal ladies. Down to 2-3/day. THEN the broodiness hit and down to 1-2. :rolleyes:
We have plenty of pullets coming up for the fall...can't wait!
Hi there, welcome! I'm pretty new too. While we have had chickens for a few years - I'm just now getting up to speed on my local / online resources :) Broodiness abounds here in our Denver backyard! Been able to hatch away but now need a break! Literally!

These are the sweetest little things ever! My kiddo decided she wanted to hand raise Lavenders and I saw the Chocolates and thought we should have them too. We got them from an NPIP farm in Ohio, shipped live. They are UK line (in-between Bantam and LF) One rooster out of 5 chicks and hoping to...
We are going on 5 years of keeping chickens, which started out as a joke for my daughter. Who knew we would love it so much?!? Anyway, back to the topic at hand:
This little girl loves to hatch and raise her chicks! In the past, she has had enough broody girls and supply of fertilized eggs from...
This is great B-Goock! Definitely can plant the good stuff for the girls. Mr. Man in my house is building me cages/cold frames (to keep the dagnab squirrels out) but they will work too for them. Thank you!
Cheapest you can find is free! We use old swimming pool chlorine buckets as we have access to them regularly. If you go to your local pool supply store, see if they can save you some. They will also be able to sell you the basic stuff to clean them and it's pretty cheap in decent quantities...
I thought I would just poll y'all to see what your thoughts are on recommended dog breeds for protecting the animals from predators. (We are beginning with chickens and goats and will add horses soon). We are moving to an 80-acre ranch in CO later this summer and I have been told the coyotes are...
