So we had a snow storm come in last night (a few days early) and we are stuck in for a day or two until we can get our drive plowed so we can get out. We were going to stock up on feed today. My question is, we have plenty of complete rabbit pellets can I give my flock these just until we can...
Hello all :)
So we have blue laced marran, BR, and buff laced polish hens with a black copper marran rooster. One of our marran hens has gone broody and is stealing all the eggs to sit on, lol. Shes got 5 polish eggs under her, any body have an idea what they are going to turn out looking like?
She is just over a year now and has always been so sweet, her change in demeanor is what bothers me the most... when we got her and the other 4 last year we didnt get any roosters, just hens, and back in February we added our new flock and got a roo so we could start breeding, we integrated...
Hey all. My queen of the coop( PBR), in the last week has taken to collecting everyone's eggs and rolling them into a corner behind the nesting boxes (crazy hard for me to get to, and the space is too small for my leg horns to get into as well) at first we thought that maybe she had gone broody...
Ok, I will keep it available, :) thank you! It must be bordom, because the coop is pretty big. It's a two part with one side being a 6x8 square and a tunnel/walkway that's 2x3 foot connecting to a 5 foot round pen. And we are down to only 4 hens.
They are on an all flock feed now and they get oyster shell twice a week... I don't really know how to explain it, I will get a picture in the morning, their vent area is completely bare and neither have diarrhea but thats what their back ends look like. I'm at a complete loss. But they are...
My two white leg horns, started laying a few weeks ago and now their booties are completely bare, and the few feathers they do have look really stragley and almost like they have pasty butt, but they dont, and there are no mites. Also there is no rooster. Anyone have any idea what I'd happening?
So my chickens started laying eggs a few weeks ago and my ducks miraculously have stopped, and are stealing the chicken eggs... :/ is there any connection here?
Her breathing is normal, and other than her holding her wing a little lower than normal, and missing some of her head feathers from the other girls being brats, she seems fine. And she doesn't shriek or anything when I put a little pressure on the wing or move it just glares at me and pulls it...
Something dug into my coop wednesday night and managed to kill one of my white hens, and I'm thinking it also hurt my production red. :( when I got out to the coop Thursday morning, my one poor girl was half drug out of the fence that was dug under and the rest of my girls were piled on top of...
So Leghorn are built different than the others? I was thinking it was a cockerel because of the stature of it and how moody it is. All of the others are short and squatty compared to that one, and love to be loved on. That one, yea, it's a no go, IF you can catch it, it will peck you the entire...
Lol right!? I really have no true idea of what I'm doing, but I'm trying my best, and would love to know what I actually have because apparently TSC bin labels aren't too accurate. o_O
This is a pic if all 6 together. All i know is that the tag at TSC said the 3 solid whites were chanteclers. And the other three came from a bin labeled wyndottes. I'm like 90% certain that all are hens other than the one white one with the black dot. ItS stature is just different from all the...
