I am so sorry to hear about that! We had an aggressive cochin rooster. He was 3 ft. Tall and a good 15 pounds. He found a new home. Our tom usually keeps the roosters in check but this one was as big as him
This is my first year with spitzhauben. So far my pullet is as sweet as can be. She has no care if my kids (9&6) handle her. My little roo had some weird feather issues that seem to have corrected themselves. Out of my 10 chicks the spitzhaubens and my cochins are super friendly. My silkies not...
So they came in labeled as blue cochins, which they are obviously not. My feed store let me take them for free and ordered me my blue cochin who came in as a blue cochin lol. But now I have no clue what these chicks are. The one has brown/ gold flecked throughout its feathers and the other is...
I know the yellow ones are fawn and white runners as I ordered them. The black ones were a "awww look ducklings" at tractor supply impulse buy. We have some guesses but now that they are feathering out I wanted to see of anyone could help us figure it out
We keep chickens and ducks together currently and we had chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese and guineas for a little while. We have muscovies that have decided they are part chicken and roost with our chickens. They do need more water than chickens, we keep 2 kiddie pools out all the time for our...
My question mark ducklings! I have no idea what breed they are but they are adorable we have a soft spot for ducks around here. My 2 fawn and white runner ducklings will be in on thursday and I am soooooo excited for more ducklings!!!!!
So we went to tractor supply and came home with ducklings ( and chicks and guinea keets, darn you tractor supply!) but we have no idea what breed/s these adorable little Quakers are. Does any one have a guess? They are 2 weeks old tomorrow.
What breed is this chick? We got 2 of them from murdochs yesterday but they were in the cochin tank and they are not cochins. All my cochins have feathered feet. These little guys are super friendly and very active.
Did the same thing then other day... ended up with a brahama, a possible silkie ( was in with the brahamas but has 5 toes and black skin), 2 guineas ( had 3 one didnt make it 😢) and 2 mystery ducklings. But then! I went into Murdoch's because they had a sale on feed.... and we ended up with a...
the lone duckling. We are pretty sure is a she. She is an appleyard duckling hatched yesterday 8/19/2018 she made friends with the stuffed puppy. Hopefully her friends hatch soon
We had an ameracuana roo for a while he was really sweet up until one day he attacked my then 3 year old when we were in yard ,for no obvious reason. I thought it was a random thing. 2 days later he comes after me while i was watering everyone. A week went bu after that and he went after the...
Update on Poppy. She has been doing wonderful. She has a limp but it does not seem to slow her down any. She has become extremely friendly and is slowly intergrating back into the flock. We are still keeping her in at night because everyone seems to pick on her in the coop but is just fine when...
We just had a tornado a few miles from our house on Sunday. We shut all the birds in, kenneled the dogs and sat in the tornado shelter praying. Not much you can do when that hits you. Fire is something we never wait for evac notices we just go when it's close. You never know what direction a...
