So..i was wondering how do you know if your chickens are growing properly? my chickens free range on a 20 acres so ..i assume they would be slightly smaller then a penned up hen since they will likely have a lot less fat on them because of the running and flying around all day, i got my first...
Yep i did, I'm really happy with them , all of the chickens i got were perfect I've had zero problems with them, all of them are alive and healthy, they were really friendly and helpful too.(they didn't even laugh that much at us when we called in the 3rd day freaked out because our chick had a...
Hi PoultryQueen101, i am about 3 hours away form there, so i can't really make it, i'm very new to chickens anyways i am not even sure what some of my chickens are called, i was wondering if you could tell me is having mixed chickens bad? my flock is totally random, and i'm not sure how to get...
I have the same kind of bird, only they called it a Plymouth rock at the hatchery? so i named her Nina (you know like the ship that brought some of the pilgrims)i am really lucky to have such an amazing flock of chicken, i only have the one bard rock but she's about like the book says she...
Does that mean since she's a leghorn, she will be laying eggs first, because i think all my other chickens are "slower" breeds, or i think they mature slower anyways like my cochins, and jersey giants, and orpingtons, i think she's 3 months old, i have a nest box thing in the coop but it's got...
This is the best i could do, these two chickens move a lot, i think they are a pair male and female one's got a red comb and waddles and one has a much lighter comb and almost no waddles, but i dunno what kind of chicken it is, it looks whiter in the sunlight, but it's more violet/grey then that...
this is a few of my flock (the ones who were still enough to not make a blurry photo), lol, the first pic i think is a leghorn, but it looks sort of like a welsummer too i am confused as to what she is, and the lavender one i can't tell what it is either , but i think i have a pair of them, one...
everything i had planned out to get my new and first flock of chickens went all wrong, it was a total disaster , we had a death in the family, my wife's mom got sick and had to have an operation, and then granny had a stroke, all within 3 weeks of each other , and we spent 2 weeks in the...
Thank you for welcoming me ,you guys are so nice.
i guess it is a lot of chickens for my first time,i only wanted a set number but living close to the breeders it's difficult for me to keep my hands out of the half off bargain bin, i probably got 10 or 12 extra chickens that way, i was so...
