I know this is an old post, but hopefully someone answers. Yesterday same thing happened to me. I was sold 2 chicks they said were Ameraucanas, but when it
Got home I noticed the feathered feet. I called back to the store, supposedly they double checked their manifest, or whatever and said for...
Thank you for your help! I was guessing the 2nd was Cochin, but had no idea about the 1st. I know nothing about speckled Sussex. I will look it up
Thanks again,
so I ordered day old chicks from My Pet Chicken website and received two from rare breed mystery package. Can you tell what breed these are? They are only about 5wks old and are supposed to be pulleys. The one with feathered legs does not have 5 toes.
You know, I always thought those raccoons were cute little masked critters that we should leave alone and let be. I never considered hurting an animal before. Now... I’m goofing to trap those suckers and if I can’t shoot them, my son in law will. He’s always trapping them in his attic and...
Hmm. I was using a heavy gauge wire to make the seam. I’m not sure what hog rings are, but I will find out and get some. I am getting a new roof on the whole thing and will fasten the hardware to that, if I can. Thank you for all the good advice and support
Thank you. I had if all secure except one spot in the roof. I was building it around a 10 x 12 dog kennel. The whole thing, including the top was covered with hardware cloth. I put at tarp over the top to protect it from the rain. But the storm and rain was too heavy. The tarp was bulging with...
so, I was driving you all crazy posting about gender questions and what to with all the Roos I ended up with. I’m new at this and had a total of 12 chicks, some older than the others.
They were all doing well, but 6 of them started crowing at about 5 to 8 weeks. I actually found a home for all 6...
Great articles and videos. They are all very helpful. I don’t know what method I will use when the time comes, but these posts have made it easier for me to make a decision that will work for me.
I am sorry if you felt I was criticizing your method, I really only meant that because of what I know, it is not a method I can consider using. You did right by giving your chick a quick death;it’s what we all want, right? Quick and merciful. As with everything we all have a preferred method, if...
I applaud all of you for being willing to discuss this topic, and to consider humane methods. I am new at this and I am struggling trying to think how I would do this if necessary. I consider myself a responsible pet owner, and realize there will come a time when I wii do this, but how?
I am...
That’s what I was afraid of. Thank you all for your help. All have started crowing or making similar noises except the silkies. But they are chest bumping and sizing up the others like roosters
I’m buried in Roos!
i live in a large city in Southeast Michigan and can’t have Roos. This is my first time and I bought the most adorable straight run bantams. Total of 6, and they are all beginning to CROW. The first 2 are about 3 months old, and the others are about 5 weeks.

Here is Poussey and Tweety from the first group. They’re are older now. Is Poussey an OEGB for sure, and both are Roos?
I have to find all these little babies new homes!
