I’m so confused here. So I started with 4 eggs.. down to 1 now that’s still good. I set the Eggs on the evening of July 1st. It’s July 24th so this last egg is on its day 23.
I thought it was a goner so I picked it up for a candle just to make sure and it was moving in the egg. I wanted to...
See that’s what I was thinking too lavender Orpington. I got them from a local feed shop and they had it labeled as “blue” something but I forgot what the label said. Crazy they would have such a mixup.
Yes! We have older hens and I kept her separated but while I was cleaning out their coop she got loose and one of my hens attacked her. I’ll clean her up - thanks for the advice!
Hey y’all. I have a 4 week old buff Orpington here with a strange looking neck. Hoping somebody might know what this is. See pic.
She’s eating great and doesn’t have any other symptoms. Could an injury possibly look like this?
Update: she just laid an egg yesterday and is working on another egg today. I guess she took a break for some reason... maybe was just broody and it went away.
Wow! Thanks for the suggestion. The thing is... I’m not seeing her sit in her “I’m workin on an egg” position and no egg song or anything either. She just plain decided to stop laying.
I checked her with a flashlight and no mites, no fleas. Also checked coop at night - not a single insect to be...
I have a silver laced Wyandotte that is about 6-7 months old. She recently started laying eggs! She laid an egg every single day religiously for about 2 weeks and then just like that... nothing!!! It’s been about 10 days since her last egg. She is contained in a nice run so I know she’s not...
You guys are GOOD!! I had no idea what any of them might even be but it’s good to have an idea now.
Now for the fun part.. figuring out which ones are hens/Roos
All but the black one have furry feet. You guys are spot on! I knew y’all were experts. :D
I appreciate the responses!
Hi y’all!
Can anybody give me some possibilities as what kind of breeds these Bantam chicks might be? The girl at Tractor supply had no idea!
If it helps- the two lighter ones have feathers on their feet, black one does not.
Thanks a bunch!
Grapes.. ok! I’ll do that too. I’ll do whatever it takes to make them more comfortable.
I have a feeling they are gonna be freaked out by grapes but they are curious enough. :eek:
Thanks Relleoms. :)
I lovvveee the muffin pan idea. That way the ice “cube” lasts longer.
I’m doing that!!! Thanks so much y’all. I just hate to see them panting like that.
I think I can set up a fan for sure! Thank you. :D
I heard of people giving them a big hunk of ice but I tried that and they got really scared of it. They are so skittish.
Oh I did. That’s how I learned about the watermelon. Just thought I’d see some more tips than what I already found. ^_^ if we just google everything then what’s the point of a community!
