    Crocheters Thread

    😂 😂 The front half of the house is gated off to keep all the dog hair in the back half of the house! Which is where I spend most of my time. (When I’m not crocheting)

    Hen laying weak shells and breaking and eating eggs

    It is my someday wish to have rollout nest boxes so my chickens can’t reach the eggs. That’s because I don’t have any other solution to egg eaters. People say to get rid of the offender. That’s one possibility if you know who it is. As far as calcium in the water, you don’t need to do that. If...

    Baby chick stuck

    It looks like your other eggs haven’t pipped yet? Here’s what I would do, which might not be popular: I would write that one off as a loss, while hoping that it’s still alive after the rest hatch. Then I would leave the incubator alone while I wait for the rest of the hatch. Once the other...

    Crocheters Thread

    I’ve finished a couple of amigurumi projects so far this summer. My granddaughter was able to take the flamingo home with her but I will have to mail the roly poly to her brother.

    Also, 10 weeks is too young for the male saddle feathers to grow in, so there is still some room for doubt. But that is a sex linked cross. All the males will inherit a gold gene from the mother. Pullets will be silver and cockerels will be silver split to gold. The thing is, sometimes it’s hard...

    I don’t know what your rooster’s color genetics are called, but I would venture to say that he’s not a blue splash. Because a splash wouldn’t have black markings. All the markings would be shades of grey with no black. So that’s probably why your “pullet” isn’t blue and why it has the markings...

    Welsummer not confirming

    Wow that’s pretty bad luck to order 6 pullets and get 3 cockerels! (Your SLW does look like a boy to me.)

    How old is it? It looks pullet-like, but maybe it’s too soon to tell. I see feather legs and a crest, so it seems like Marans and Legbar could be in the mix. What other roosters and hens do you have?

    A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

    Also, after that I procured some $15 wire dog crates from goodwill and garage sales, and if people weren’t able to bring boxes, I would offer to let them buy a crate for $15 to take their birds home in. A few people took that deal. I would, if I were buying birds and didn’t have a transport...

    A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

    That is my feeling as well. I used to get a lot of ethnic turkey buyers. A lot of them like to zip tie the legs together and pile them in the back seat with the kids. One family came and wanted to do the “neck sticking out of the feed sack corner method”. They also zip tied the legs. Well my tom...

    What Mug Are You Using Today?

    Another clearance mug from the grocery store yesterday for only 75 cents! For that price I will enjoy it for what’s left of the summer and then donate it. Besides, the bulky rim is a little dribbly. And then I guess I forgot to post this other mug I found at Goodwill last week. We just so...

    New to this internet about chickens

    It can depend on breed, but I find that time of year they hatch has a big impact too. Since they are 3 months now, they will turn 6 months in October. That is when the days are getting shorter, so some pullets will wait until the days start getting longer again before they lay. Others will...

    Breed/Gender

    Agree. The other two are probably cockerels as well, but it’s too soon to say for sure. The way they feather out and how they look at three weeks is sometimes accurate and sometimes not. If they are mixed breeds, then there is no way to know what the mix is. When they are older, you might have...

    Shredded feathers?

    I don’t know about your specific birds, but it is not uncommon for mites and parasites to prefer some birds over others. Birds with weak immune systems or other conditions can be mite magnets while others of their flock mates get none. Long ago when my kids got lice, I read that lice prefer...
