okay perfect, thank you!! i’m still learning about all this and didn’t know if they looked abnormal or not. that’s very reassuring. i’ll keep that in mind for if i ever do have issues with scaly leg mites!

could this be scaly let mites? i count just be paranoid, but i don’t remember her feet always looking like this. how to i get rid of the mites if that is what it is?

i plan on trying lavender, but not sure how it will do here. we have times where we are hot and dry, but then have weeks of rain. so it’s iffy

thank you for your input! i’ll have to do some more research on which things will be better for them and which will grow better in my climate. i just really like the idea of nesting herbs that would help keep bugs away and such, and it would be a bonus if i could make it myself instead of...

i don’t think the nesting herbs are supposed to fill up the entire box, but to be mixed into your preferred nesting material. and thank you! i’ll definitely look into those

i’ve been interested in growing my own things to make nesting herbs for my girls, but does anyone have any advice on what flowers that i should grow for that? i’m in the process of making my list of things to grow next year, so nows the perfect time to figure it out. i know that marigolds (and...

thank you, that’s really reassuring! i have no experience with anything leghorn related so i was concerned, but i’m pretty confident that she’s actually a she now. she’s my sweetest, most friendly bird that i’ve had yet

really? i’m so glad :wee

please ease my worries and tell me that this is a pullet 😭 azure blue, will be 9 weeks old on wednesday. i ordered sexed day old pullets a couple months back, but this one has such a red face. i only have the one azure blue so i don’t have any others to compare it to. he/she is my favourite out...

was just told around 6 months. so i’m thinking pullet too

i’m honestly not 100% sure, but i can tell that he/she isn’t full bred. my silkie cross was already crowing at this size

can anyone confirm if this silkie is a pullet? i really wanna buy her but i’m not good at this whole sexing thing.

at what age can i start to integrate my new pullets into my flock? they turn 6 weeks in a couple days. i know that they are too small, but i’m hoping that i’ll be able to move them into the big coop before the winter comes, which is still a good two months away yet but still. they have a large...

updating this thread because i got my first fertilized egg (that i’ve noticed) last night, and i’m so happy about it! means that the girls are finally accepting robbie and letting him mate with him, after all his advances and getting rejected dozens of times. i’m sure his poor ego has a...

i’m so glad! that’s so exciting. i don’t plan on hatching until next year, but i’m so glad that my roo is getting along with my ladies enough that they let him mate with them now. i was so worried that it would never work out

the last couple months have been a struggle for my poor little roo, the girls are taking their sweet time with accepting him. but lately he seems to actually be a part of the flock instead of an outsider, and sleeping with his ladies on the roost (usually smushed against the wall, next to my top...

checked on her feet this morning and they are a lot better, hardy any flaking now. vaseline works wonders!

okay good! it’s hard not to worry haha, i’ll put a small bit of vaseline on them to see if it helps

what could cause this? is it something i’ve done wrong? the other girls seem to be okay, and only other one seems to have kinda dry feet, but not like this one. is there anything i can do to help it or stop it? it’s not my first time raising chicks, but i’ve never seen them have feet like this
