Ok my thinking is I could quarantine her in a green house that I am not using at the moment. It would be easy to set up as a coop. Thanks for your help.
I have 2 brown leghorns and am looking at getting 2 Araucana , there is an opportunity to buy just one and am feeling a little worried about adding only one new hen. They will be a similar age although this pullet looks smaller than my 2 leghorns. Any advice as to how to add her? I have to win...
One of my brown leghorns has just started laying at 25 weeks. It seemed an age to wait for the first one. She was very clever and laid them in one of the the nesting boxes.
Just waiting now for the other one to start. I promised myself no new hens until I was starting to get some eggs from...
No eggs here as well, no squatting but combs are getting bigger and redder. They are 22 week old brown leghorns and I am getting very impatient as they are my first chickens.
My brown leghorns are not laying either , they are 20 weeks old . It could be a day length thing as we are only just going into the more spring days in this lower half of the world.
The dust bath area is underneath my feijoa trees , the only dry part of my garden in this cold wet winter. I will post some pics when I figure out how to do it!
I'm new to chickens, my son built me a chicken tractor that I can move around my garden and I have 2 brown leghorns who are now 17 weeks old. They love dust baths. I am starting to get excited about first eggs arriving
