Wow. My girls have all been good other than this little pistol. My boys, on the other hand, not so much. I had one I had to rehome due to aggression toward everyone and everything, two that were excellent but taken by a fox, and a male polish right now who is fine with me and my...
Thank you. I know when I got her the young gal said she was definitely a female due to the males already having a lot of red in their combs, but I started having doubts due to her behaviors. I guess she is just a pint sized bully.
I am in Wisconsin but I love the porcelain D'Uccles. The lady I got mine from has a boy so I might just go pick it up from her now that I know Millie is not one. Next year, she is going to have Seramas and I am excited about that!
That is awesome. Thank you so much. She might possibly have been two weeks when I got her, but I am pretty sure she was in the bigger bin and they were all three weeks old.
Hmmm. She had all pure bred chickens kept separated, but he was just out walking around, not in a specific cage so that is certainly possible. I remember her saying something about him being a dark egg layer though, still going on the premise that it was a female.
Where are you in SW Wisconsin? I am in Viroqua. I was wondering about the salvage yard where you got the fence. I really need to fence in around my coop. Right now, my chicks free range all the time.
I am having the same problem with two of my chickens. One is about 3.5 mos old and the other is 4 mos old. They were out in the rain yesterday, not sure if that has anything to do with it, but would like to know what is going on asap.
Good call Chicken Girl1. About a week after you posted that, "Penny" started to crow. He still hasn't gotten it down, but it is adorable. And he is still being bad and now he has taught a couple of my ISA girls how to get out of the fence too.
The older mine have gotten, the friendlier. My ISA browns used to be the first ones to come and see me, but now the Asians are beating them to it. The Wyandotte is skittish though and not very friendly. My EEs are a mixed bag. I have one that is flighty, one that is sweet but shy, one that...
Asian blacks. First three pics are the same one. I was told roo at about 4 to 5 weeks old. They are now 10 weeks old. Also wondering about the one with the red band in the last two pics. Thank you!
