Thank you, as watching them yesterday with the run and cage side by side, the one cockerel is very docile compared to the the other. The more dominate one was the one wanting to almost climb through the cage into the run while the other could really care less. I think the two together will be...
I work Monday - Friday from 10-3, so should I wait on a weekend where I can REALLY watch them, or put them together and just watch for a half hour or so and just listen for them (which I can see/hear them from my living room)
Sounds stupid, I know, but this is my first flock, so I'm learning...
I have 11 hens (ISA Browns) that are about 10 weeks old. I just got 2 roosters (I believe are Leghorns) that are about 14 weeks old. A friend of mine had to get rid of them because of noise complaints from neighbors.
Currently I have them in a separate cage than the rest of my flock, and even...
I looked at a premade coop before.... $2700 REALLY?!?! I'll make it myself thank YOU! Plus I'm going to paint on the side, "Farm Fresh Butt Nuggets" LOL
Thats good to know! Thank you! Our funds are very very little to none. Feed and bedding isnt a problem, but building a coop is another story. We found a lot of wood in the building my boyfriend has that we're trying to use, but we still need some 4x8 sheets of plywood and those are not cheap. I...
My boyfriend warned me not to "humanize" them, but I just can't help it! I love animals, and you're right especially after raising them and watching them gain their own personalities. Hopefully after all the great information everyone has offered I'll be able to stop this before I lose any more...
Its about an hour, but there is a business close by my ex used to work at that their copiers/printers get shipped on so they've got them in all sizes for the taking
Thank you so much @KikisGirls @Bluechick2u @jolly wattles and @mrsdee
I really appreciate all the information and advice you were able to give me!! Hopefully I have no more unfortunate losses and the girls and I can move on :D
Right, I understand that, but being that I'm so close to the run, I will be able to see it and hopefully stop whatever it is since I probably wont be able to get new fencing for a little while.
Lol, I may try to see if I could find any around my area, but apparently we have motion flood lights, and the bulbs just need changed, so it looks like I'll be changing bulbs, adding my camera, and looking for smaller fencing.
I'm honestly more sad than anything. I spend so much time with them, especially when I'm home alone. They're my tranquility, my featherbabies....just stinks. :hit
