I have had chickens for years. I grew up raising them. I do know what I am doing believe it or not and I really do not appreciate the criticism. I know that it is time. The weather here in Michigan just jumped out of the 20's yesterday and is now raining. I plan to put them out but this has been...
I was thinking it was a Roo also but my friends who had them said that their chicks all look like that and turned out to be hens. I have never had a Rooster ever act like this either though. They are always so calm and even let the pullets bully on them. I am new to this breed and have no clue...
Their brooder is 4 foot in diameter. She is calm right now but she insists on letting everyone know she is charge. I am going to work on getting the coop ready for the coop brooder once it stops raining but I am getting sick of her being so bossy, Or possibly him. But I have never had a rooster...
Here is our Blue Zilla - like I said she is fighting with everyone. The others don't even stand a chance because she refuses to back down and even heard everyone around. She is the one in the back. The one in the front is our Black Cochin. And then we have our 3 Polish.
Yes, I was thinking the same until I sent pics to a couple people who have blue cochins and they said she's a pullet but I will take pics in just a little bit once I get home.
I was wondering if anyone has ever had any issues with their pullets fighting? I have raised chicks 3 times in the past and have never had one ever be this aggressive with everyone else. She will fight with everyone and push them around. She is currently housed with a Black Cochin and 3 Polish...
Hey everyone! I have a Silver Laced Wyandotte that my cousin handed off to me due to having leg issues. I treated her for splayed leg because her one leg was completely behind her and she did get a bit better but she still has issues. I am wondering if anyone else has had experience with this...
Okay, vs. picking them up at the post office they delivered them to me. 36 hours the chicks were in there. One was dead out of the 10 and one was not doing the best but with some TLC she is doing better. Overall most are very healthy and looking good. Before I leave a review I have emailed TS to...
I received a text that they have arrived at the post office so I am just waiting for the phone call to go and get them. I am very nervous. I am hoping they are all okay and healthy. My paranoia is a viscous thing! I will update this afternoon after I get home with them. They have been in that...
I ordered on Monday and it says they Ship Tuesday and Wednesday... does that mean next week or should I be expecting my chicks this week lol - Just wondering how soon they ship
Help everyone! I have a broody hen with some eggs under her. They are due to hatch on Easter Sunday.
She got off the nest yesterday to run out and dust bath and one of my other hens quiet literally ran into her nest box and pecked two of the eggs. One was fertilized and one was not which...
We have a very broody hen that is an amazing Mama.. problem is she went broody sooner than expected. We are in Michigan and I am skeptical about letting her hatch some chicks this early. I am really looking for some input in what you guys think... possibly miss our Mama window or let her set...
She finally ate about an hour ago a a good amount! I am going to try some yogurt and/or olive oil and see how she is doing in the morning. Might keep her inside one more day and if she is more herself put her back with the other gals and guy. Wish me luck!
We do not have a vet anywhere near us that works on chickens sadly. I am just hoping whatever it is, that it passes. She seems fine on the outside and her poo is pretty normal... I don't know what to think
I just posted pics with some more information. Her normally feed is scratch grains, cracked corn and laying pellets along with scraps from the house, all food scraps go to the chickens, but we haven't given them anything out of the ordinary. I tried to make her scrambled eggs because my girls...
