It's been awhile since I've checked in. I recently lost 4 of my girls to a weasel. Fixed the tiny hole it got through. Looking to add some more girls to my flock. I'd prefer young already laying or about to lay. Does anyone know where I could find some here in central Maine. I was going to order...
So I have had my isa's that are a year old and my 16 week old barred rocks (5 pullets and a rooster) runs side by side for weeks. They have ignored each other for a long time. Saturday night I slipped the barred rocks into the big coop with the isas. Yesterday they stayed completely seperated...
I have Isa Browns that are a little over a year old. Today I noticed alot of blood on an egg shell so I did vent checks. One of them that is missing quite a few feathers had what looked like puss in her vent. Can someone please tell me what is wrong with her.
Please tell me what this is. I saw a lot of blood on an egg shell this morning and did vent checks and found this. They've been picking on each other some and thought that was the feather loss. Please help!
My isa browns are little over a year old and my lighter ones are more aggressive then the darker ones. Once they turned one they have all started to pick on one another with jumping on each other and pulling each other's feathers. I love the amount of eggs they lay but am going to slowly switch...
Me either but for some reason I started calling her that. She's an escape artist from the brooder. If I unzip through top she's out. And she runs all around like a spaz in and out of the brooder. And she has to sleep on top of their waterer. She definitely looks more like a pullet to me from...
@superchemicalgirl I know a few weeks ago you thought I was still ok with me barred rock in question being a girl. Just thought I would see what everyone thought now at 6 weeks.
They have oyster shell that they eat alot of. I also know they aren't pulling to eat feathers cause their feed is 20% protein. I might have to get some saddles. Figured I would only need one if I had a rooster which I don't. I have the pick no more that I tried on one when they were younger and...
I swear my ISA Browns have lost their minds! Since they turned a year old they've done a complete 180 from how they were. They are jumping on each other's back like a rooster would so now some are losing feathers and have broken feathers just in front of their tails, they've decided to start...
I bought 6 barred rock pullets at agway 3 weeks ago. Ordered them as sexed pullets. There is one that i have been really worried that is a cockeral. I don't want a rooster so im hoping its not. Last year with my Isa's i was convinced i had a rooster but turned out to be a really big girl when...
I bought 6 pullet barred rock chicks at my local feed store. One of them is starting to make me wonder if it is cockeral. They are 3 weeks old. Please let me know what you think.
