I have a 10x 12 completely covered run. I want to see if anyone has opinions about setting up roosting and nest boxes sans a coop. I live in a very humid coastal area. For example here we are in the middle of January and we have a balmy 75 degree day out here. I was thinking of putting up a back...
Just picked up these little ones. The person I got them from was not the breeder. She had no clue about age or what their color is. Anyone know what color they will be?
Looking for a companion for my lonely silkie baby. Would like something around 2-5 weeks. Not breed specific. Would like to be able to get a pullet. A bantam would be ideal but I'm not picky. My little silkie is very lonely and not eating well since her two hatch mates went to their new homes...
I have an approximately 3-4 week old silkie. I just let her two hatch mates go to their new home and she is all alone now. I've noticed her crop doesnt seem full anytime I feel it. I dont think she is eating well. I'm trying to find her a companion but in the meantime any ideas on getting her to...
I have a 3-4 month old polish that was fine yesterday. Today we found him unable to stand and his head keeps twisting around. A couple weeks ago I found him in what looked like a passed out state flat out on the ground. He came to when I picked him up but he was a little stunned acting. Hes been...
A friend found this little guy at a flea market. It was running loose by its self. When she inquired they said it was left from the chicks the day prior and must have gotten away. They had no clue what kind it was or who had them. Any thoughts on possible breed?
I acquired this pullet from a neighbor. She is a really neat looking bird. All black. Legs, comb. She has extra toes as well. He said she was a yard bird but he was pretty sure the rooster was a Ameracuna. Unsure of the other half. I am guessing the ameracuna was probably an Easter Egger...
These little ones are approximately 5 weeks old. Just seeing what guesses are for them.
First one is suppose to be a cochin bantam
Porcelin duccle
budf brahma bantam
light bantam brama
So pretty sure I already know the answer to this. But..... roo??? Approximate age is 5 weeks I think. Was sold as a couple day old EE sexed pullet from TS. And I swear I caught he/she trying to crow.
I got a wc black polish from tra tor supply. I originally thought it wasnt going to make it. Very stressed and gasping for air. But with a week of antibiotics it got better quickly. I noticed today it is laying down alot. And seems to breath with its whole body. I dont hear any noise when I...
Is it true that bantam Brahmas, if a roo will tend to feather in more slowly than a pullet? I have a buff and a light. They are only about 6 days old but the buff is already getting wing feathers where as the light is not.
I purchased babies! They were labeled as assorted bantams. Any guesses??
All have feathered legs. The second one is the palest lavender gray color. No real variation of any other color.
I rescued this little guy from TS it was gasping each breath. The other chicks were stepping all over it. They gave it to me. I really doubt think it would make. But three days of care with antibiotic water and its thriving! I'm pretty sure it's a little polish it was in the bantam assorted tub...
My broody hen has been sitting on eggs. They have started hatching. Two so far have hatched perfectly. Two more have started. The hen stepped on them and crushed the shell. What should I do? Both are breathing and peeping. One has blood visible.
