Hi. Can anyone tell me how much grain I should be feeding my two twelve week old wethered pygmies?
I am offering free choice hay and a half cup of goat grain twice daily but they seem so hungry. Is this enough?
Help. I have 14 guineas who are 8 weeks of age. They were in the coop for the entire duration of brooding so they were comfy in their home. We let them out for the first time last night just close to dark, since I read this is the best time to let them out to start. Well, as soon as we let them...
I was thinking A May be a hen as well! But the partridge has me confused. No wattles or combs but super late bloomer and was low man on totem pole. Thanks for the advice!
Hi. Anyone have any good guesses as to sex on these 13 week old Cochins?
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Exhibit C
Exhibit D
Exhibit E
As you can tell, I'm fond of Cochins. They are all super sweet. No crowing or mounting yet so I could use some help.
Thanks!!
Hi I have a 5 week old Bourbon Red turkey. He doesn't seem to have spraddle leg but his legs seem different than the others. They seem a little further apart. He walks fine, seems healthy, eating and drinking ok. He just is more wobbly in his gait and his legs seem to sit further apart. Is this...
Hi,
I have had two completely random deaths as well. Fine one minute, then gone the next time I went in. I have heard they are delicate creatures, and I am finding this to be true. I hope someone can offer advice because these seem to be much harder to raise than my chickens.
Does anyone have any tips on taming guineas? Mine are about 4 weeks old and deathly afraid of me. When I open the door to the coop to tend to their food and water, they pile into the corners and freak out. I bought some white millet but they are completely scared of me so they do not even pay...
This is my friends Brahma. She cannot have roosters. Is this a boy or girl? Age about 4 mos.
It's very large. I know they are big chickens but this one is very tall. Not crowing yet.
Yes we have been asking around...it seems that most people who will take them off of our hands will cull them too. We got a lot more roosters than we had hoped for in this batch. Regardless we will wait a bit. He seems to be a late bloomer and I want to be 100% sure before we make any decisions.
I would have bet the farm that this was a hen but I'm new to this and admittedly clueless. My pretty girl Peggy Sue mounted another chick yesterday so now I'm having doubts. It is about 9 weeks old, mixed breed. I read hens sometimes do that too but am missing something obvious here to all of...
This is my 10 week old White Crested Black Polish. I suspect it's a boy but can anyone confirm?
[/IMG][/IMG]
His tail is more erect than my other Polish chicks and his feathers have a green sheen to them. He is also pretty bold in personality and biggest in size but I'm new to this and want to...
Hi thanks so much for your kind words! I got the signs on etsy, eBay, on the Hobby Lobby website and at a local antique store. I tried to get stuff on clearance and do it as cheap as possible. The rooster coat rack was $10 at a second hand store.
My husband and I just built this 8X12 coop for our chickens and guineas. This is the outside (we still need to add white trim to the sides of the coop and to the windows). I decorated it in a primitive style. The outside run is enclosed.
