Good Evening People of Oregon!
I am actually writing this from Phoenix Arizona currently but I am planning a trip out there next month to check out places to live (along with Washington State). I currently have 19 chickens of my own and I know as far as AZ goes there are a lot of places that do...
Good Evening Washingtonians!
I am actually writing this from Phoenix Arizona currently but I am planning a trip out there next month to check out places to live. I currently have 19 chickens of my own and I know as far as AZ goes there are a lot of places that do not allow any chickens or only a...
Thanks for the replies hellbender, Kev, and sharkman! I figured it would have been done already if it was possible, it's been a question I've wondered for a while
I have a non NN specific question regarding gender and incubation. I had wanted to breed/raise Russian tortoises when I was in high school and everything I read said you could skew the gender ratio by changing the temperature during incubation a degree up or down, example: a degree higher than...
I was wondering what the earliest age I can put chicks outside full time is? My Turkens are coming up on 5 weeks now and are stinking and dusting up my house so bad I matter how often I clean! Not to mention they are getting too big for the brooder and getting real antsy when in it! I have no...
Ochochicas thanks for the advice, I hold a bowl of their food on my lap and they have started to eat from there but I have to be very still and silent or they scream and run away so I hope they do calm down with age
Kassaundra very nice looking birds! Shakespeare is gorgeous!
DesertChic wow...
I got them from a local feed store at a couple days old (the day they got them in) and I can't remember if they get their birds from privet or ideal (they told me once) but they are from the same hatchery, all of them
My babies are 3 1/2 weeks old now and everything is COVERED in dust (I've given up cleaning the living room until they are outside lol!)Tthey are not friendly in the least so I'm pretty sad about that (I hold them every day and constantly talk to them to no avail), they scream and try to commit...
Thanks for the information! I'm glad your NNs did better but looks like I'll have to be extra watchful when they go out not that unwind be basically mother henning them the whole time probably anyways lol! I'm switching them to a larger brooder this weekend since it's getting a bit too warm on...
I have a question. For baby chicks, it says to decrease the temp 5 degrees per week in the brooder until it's equal to the outside temp. What if the outside temp is higher than the brooder temp? My babies are a week and a half old and I'm worried about how they will handle the high heat when...
I was just about to ask this same thing! I noticed my babies necks are getting so dry and even peeling a bit! I'll be looking forward to hearing from someone if they have a solution
She is a special lady for sure, I don't plan on ever getting rid of her
That is too funny, I can picture that scenario! She's done this not pooing thing since I first got her, before she ever laid any eggs. She has recently started laying eggs finally but she's not broody or at least not in...
Ya I have no idea why she does it though I'm not surprised, she does most things differently than normal chickens lol! I was just hoping someone would tell me she's not alone!
Wow that's amazing! I would love to have house chickens but that's the one thing keeping me from doing just that lol...
I'm just wondering if anyone else has any birds that hold their poo all night like my Franny does? I usually open the coop before I leave for work so it's dark still but now the sun is coming up earlier and when I open it up she flies out and has the biggest, dog sized poo every morning, it's...
