mine get along great, but they all started out in the brooders together. Some up to seven weeks apart in age. We have one little banty white leghorn that gets broody and one of my americanas that gets broody thinks the leghorn is her chick! It is so funny every time we go out to the coop the...
These are my mille mix chicks I hatched out several weeks ago. They are getting ready to move out of the brooder this coming weekend.
I love the pullets coloring it is so light
thank you for the offer, but I get all attached to my babies! dont know where you live, but there is a swappers day in danvile june 19th and 20th. You might have some luck there.
I did well, only 3 roos out of 27 chicks from tsc. The lady who works there was sexing them by their umbilical...
thank you! Yes number 5 has feathered legs. I am so happy to have a mille fleur hen! I have a mille fleur roo already that I thought was a hen when it was little (and thanks to him - a mille/leghorn roo and two pullet chickies!) I was already hoping to put that little mille hen in with my...
thank you! I do think I got a nice assortment. I wish I had a few more of that black hen, the yellow one and the little bearded speckled one though. I am thinking about breeding them with my little mille fleur/leghorn roo and see what I get.
These chicks are bantam assortments I bought at tsc in april. Any idea what breed they are? They came from a hatchery in mount healthy ohio.
this black hen is gorgeous. She has a black comb, feathers, eyes, beak and legs. Her feathers shine purple in the sunlight.
the chick in the center is...
they are a great hatchery! I live about an hour and a half from there and I have both ordered and picked up my chicks in person. The ones that came in the mail were in great shape. They threw in a few extras (2) and one was a hen and one a beautiful roo. When I went to pick up my chicks for...
I have this problem from time to time and honestly the cheap catfood is your best bet. We still eat our eggs when we have to do it, no difference to us. just like feeding chicken feed. I put out a shallow casserole dish and put the catfood in it, It takes them about 3 days to eat it and the...
the chicks seem to all be normal and strong. I was worried about them being crushed from being under mom with no shell but they are well. I am so happy because I wanted some more mille fleurs so bad. They have a leghorn mom so I wonder what they will look like and what color eggs they will lay.
I have 3 cute little mille fleur chicks! They all seem to be doing well despite momma pecking the shells off and causing them to dry out. They all needed a little help out because the membrane was tough, but they are doing well!
Awesome! my hatch isn't going very well. We will see what happens. Mama has been trying to eat them as they hatch. I lost one yesterday, one is out but weak and two are working on it. I worry that the two she ate the shell off of will be too banged up to make it:(
the chick looks good, but weak. It cant seem to hold its head up very well yet. I hope that improves with time. I checked on mama and found another egg the same way. Apparently mama thinks her chicks are snacks. I removed the rest of the eggs and put all but the new shell less one under my...
Is anyone else hatching today? hopefully I will have 3 chicks shortly. It is so hard not to go out and peek! Hopefully my other broody hatches one, she has been setting sooo long. Her first eggs werent any good so I had to replace them. I hope it is soon for her.
