I need to make some room in my coop!
1. I have 2 cream crested legbar hens laying about a blue egg each pretty much everyday. They are about 10 months old. $15 each
2. I have a jersey giant hen about one year old laying daily $10
3. I need to get rid of 3 Marans cockerels free! I'd be...
I have 2 broodies on day 21. One chick hatched this morning. I've peaked in a few times and the hatchling is out and about out from under mom. Both hens are still sitting on 15 eggs (7 under one and 8 under the other).
I peaked in just now and one of the hens off her eggs and sitting on the...
Day one and I've already made a mistake!!!!
I split 16 eggs between 2 broodies last night. This afternoon one of the girls was in the run off the eggs I have no idea for how long. She has been broody for a little over a week. She was eating so I didn't worry. About 10 minutes later I noticed...
I recently introduced a 6 month old rooster to my flock of 14 hens/pullets ranging from 6-10 months. They are all laying except a couple of the younger pullets. My 10 month old barred rock now looks like a naked neck. I guess she is being over mated. Today I noticed a bloody egg. It looked like...
I have a flock of 14 hens and one roo. Right now the rooster is separate. I want to hatch eggs from 4 specific hens. I'm not sure which eggs belong to those hens. My question is can I put the four hens with the roo until I gather enough eggs? It would be a 4:1 hen rooster ratio temporarily. Is...
I have a hen born in May 2015. She was supposed to be a jersey giant from a feed store, but she looks like a mixed black chicken. She is always in the best box when I go collect eggs. She usually jumps right off.
The past couple of weeks the temp got down to 20's and stayed really cold. I...
I have this Easter Egger that I love. I think she is so pretty. I have blue and a black purebred Ameraucana roosters. What would the off spring look like with either the black or the blue? If I may get some that look like her I'd breed her, if not I'll just hatch the purebreds.
I have recently added a coop extension. I extended my run and put a second coop on the other end. I can have one large run with a coop on each end or close it off and have 2 separate runs and coops. The extension will serve as a grow out pen or breeding pen ect.
I purchased 12 new chicks last...
She was sold to me as a black sex link from a feed store. She has always been solid black. She is 22 or 23 weeks old and was the first to develop red comb and wattles. She has not started to lay. Her barred rock sister and white leghorn sister developed red later and have been laying daily for a...
We put ceramic eggs out last night. I went to the coop about 11. No eggs, but while I was down there my barred rock and white leghorn went into the boxes. When they came out the barred rock left an egg!!! They are 21 weeks. We have 8 egg layers 19-21 weeks, different breeds.
Is it unusual for...
I would like to post an ad to try to sell some extra ameraucana's. I have >30 posts. I am trying from an iPhone, but I have no problem with posting to other forums. When I try to "start a thread" there is no option.
I posted a free rooster ad sometime ago. I remember seeing only one ad at a...
Here is my coop! It's 24 feet by 8 feet total. I am in Georgia and do not shut the hutch door at night. I consider it more of an open air coop. It has hardware cloth buried under the entire thing. The hutch is 4x8.
I am having an additional 8 feet added to the back with a second elevated hutch...
I recently picked up a few more chicks. I was expecting newly hatched, but I ended up with 6 week olds. My coop extension will not be ready for one more week. Will this set up be ok for one more week? They are now eight weeks old.
My puppy has whipworms. I am worried about my chickens. I would like to have a georgia vet contact. Does anyone know a Georgia poulrty vet? Does anyone know where to send fecal samples?
I would like to worm my chickens, but I am 8.5 months pregnant and I don't want to handle wormer until after...
I am new to chickens this year. We ended up with 6 Roos and culled all but two. We just bought a straight run of purebred Ameraucanas and some CCL's (2-6 weeks old). We should end up with more 5-7 Roos. We also may get a few black copper Marans as a straight run.
I am only really set up to keep...
I got 5 mixed pullets from a feed store earlier this year. I could tell them apart until I went on vacation. I supposedly got a black sex link and a jersey giant. Can anyone help me tell them apart? They around 18-20 weeks old.? I'm assuming the one with the red comb is getting ready to lay. Her...
