Heated coop, it's raining and 30 some degrees out... Meatheads are out in the run(open door to coop).. freezing rain, shivering, huddled, fluffed, cold foot dancing at fence wanting to come out and range! Is this normal stupid or our mine special?
I have a hen who's top beak is longer than bottom and it is notched, split in the center. Was wonder what's the safest method of trimming it down?? Clippers- Dremil sand tool?
Our first layer "Red"(rsl) is laying like clockwork from 8-8:30am(med dark brown)
Our second layer(Dont know who..lol) is around 5pm(xsm tan)
Now we start the monitoring to find the culprits
We have 20 so we gotta hurry before the egg gates open up..lol
I was walking to our coop and opened our egg box and their it was a light brown egg,I was very suprised since my chickens are only 4 months and 11 days old,And to think thats cool an hour later another one sitting by my corn feeder.we think that our Buff Orpington are Red sex Link layed it.
The simple things impress me;) I was out in the yard playing with my 3wk old BOs and RSLs.. A knat fly by..Gulp, A mosquito flew by..Gulp, A wasp fly by..A chase ensued, with a close miss..bummer, but A+ for the try.
I'm glad that I'm now a contributor to the safe destruction of pests:D
Hi, My local feed store has a run full of chicks(at least a hundred) from 2days old to 2wks old. It's a complete mix and strait run leftovers from chick breeder/farm no-sales, Store owner has no idea what breeds he got, is no help.. Probably at least six different breeds in run and there only...
Tore down an old shed(cypress),planed some, used pressure treated for base. 8x8 coop, 10x20 run
Window shutters for sides, back look identical to egg window. OK..For the record..The tall ladder wouldn't fit between coop and fence.. Thats my story and I'm stickin to it Lucky my boy waited...
Picked 2 cute ones from a giant mixed lot.. They had no idea what they are.. I'm guessing Wellsummer?? but, I'm new:( and chicken eliterate. I'm referring to the brown ones..they might not even be the same breed:/
