So I just lost a CCL a few weeks ago....she just sat down one day, was limp and then basically died in my arms. It was so sad and I have no idea why it happened.
So a week later, I got another one because I REALLY want this type of bird. She's in quarantine right now with two other new hens...
I have a new 12 week old Brabanter chicken that I brought home from a farm, where she was kept in a large gated pen with MANY other chickens. She FREAKED out when the staff member picked her up and every time I have tried to pick her up since then (only twice), she still freaks (flaps her wings...
I bought two BLR chicks from a feed store but I've noticed that there is pretty wide variety with how they actually look when they are bigger. Would you be able to tell what their coloring will be from how they look as chicks? (new chicken mom so I'm just curious).
Thanks :)
Hello everyone! I'm Stephanie and I live in Seattle. I've wanted some egg laying hens for probably at least the last 6 years or so but I lived in a HOA that wouldn't allow them.
I have moved though and I am finally living my dream!!
I said I only wanted 4-6 chicks....well, after I visited...
