Update on the boys now that they’re 6 months old. Spike turned out to be a crested magpie and I’m not sure what midnight is still he has a lot of chocolate brown color to him
Does anyone know where I can get rid of an Olive egger rooster? Preferably within ocean county. He’s super sweet and loves to cuddle and 2 months old but I’ve posted him up and can’t find anyone interested. I don’t have the space to build a second coop and I already have a rooster so keeping...
Would anyone want a Black Australorp cockerel? 9 weeks old very sweet. Hasn’t started crowing yet. I bought a pair of pullets from ts and well...this one grew a comb....lol
I’m located in Lakehurst.
She’s too weak to stand let alone bully anyone. She gets dog piled on in the pen with the others and they peck her and walk on top of her like she’s not there. My hens would probably kill her if I took her out there. I have one that already tried to take out two diff healthy chicks. Worse case...
THey are the same age as her but bigger she didn’t grow at the same rate. I removed 4 to the outdoors when fully feathered and added 4 1 month old chicks that same day thanks to a friend I’ll see if I can maybe set her up in a dog crate to help her out I hate to lose her but I hate seeing her...
And the brooder is maybe 3-4 ft long and 2 wide and 12 chicks currently with her being the biggest now since I put the others outside who are bigger than her
She’s still on chick starter crumble and I have chick grit available for her. No other treats. When I got her they had chick probiotics and electrolytes for the first week or so. She’s under a 60 watt bulb right now as I do not use actual heat bulbs in the house (it already burned down once not...
I have a RIR that’s coming up on 2 months old. She’s growing slower than the other RIR that’s the same age and not being a chicken at all. She just lays under a heat lamp all day and peeps if anyone touches her. I do see her eating at drinking but othe wise she just lays there when she isn’t...
Not offhand. All the cheap ones were thin and flimsy and the sturdy ones were all 2k or more that we saw. maybe if you find an old shed for sale. It even cost us 1200 to build our coop and run
I guess it hasn’t changed. Thankfully I didn’t grow up here but I’m starting to see why my bf no longer wants to be here! We thought about the collar but heard stories of deaths from it. I ended up contacting the previous owner. She found out her friend who has 3 acres has been looking for a roo...
Believe me if the township shows up at my house now about this I’m going to make their lives hell. I’ll report his business and call the cops anytime they’re outside partying after 10!
I’m not far from there! I’m in Lakehurst and from Lacey. It’s funny because they’re noisey as hell out making noise past the ordinance , they have a spotlight that blasts light into my house all hours of the night and her husband is illegally running a business out of the yard
