We are moving so I need to rehome my girls asap. 2 buff orpingtons and 1 sexlink. I'm still getting eggs from them even during this cold. They will be 1 yr in April. I'm in thomasville area.
My hen looks like she could be molting. She looks pretty rough. But she also is acting much more different. She hangs back away from the rest of the flock, she has always been the most social and loving of them but now won't let us near her.
Also I have been getting 1 egg almost daily with...
A few days after we got lil chick, I found her trapped behind the rest of the girls up against the screen right in the sun. She wasn't doing so well so I brought her in with me to get her rehydrated. Only after she got bigger she became rather clingy with me. Now she always wants to either sit...
Mine was in the shade. That's just so funny to me. 🤷♀️ my other girls don't do this I have 5 girls that are a year old. They all take dirt bath I've seen them doing that. They have dug holes all over my yard.
I have a 4 month old sex link hen that acts like it's dead. I found her laying in yard and walked up to her, her feathers were ruffled looking, laying in grass on her side with her feet straight out. I was like oh you poor baby what happened to you?! I was going to pick her up and she jumps up...
I have a bird bath bowl I just set on the ground and a couple of the large size Rubbermaid containers I use for their water. I put fresh water in a couple times a day cause once the water is out of shade it gets hot so quickly. So I move them into shade and refill with fresh clean water.
🤭that thing has teeth momma!
I wish I could carve stuff like that. I'd have sticky watermelon juice all over me, the kitchen, somehow in all the other rooms and it would stll end up looking like I threw it against the wall.
Welcome to BYC! I wish you the best with your chickens, I believe you will truly enjoy it!
I have 8 chickens right now. 5 are laying and 3 are still young but should start in a couple months.
Oh yes, my girls love watermelon! I haven't tried giving them blueberries. I have some fresh a friend gave me from her backyard. It's more then I can ever eat so I'll share them with the girls.
What an awesome young man. Wow I'm very impressed.
I have one chicken that likes to be held, but the rest are quite content gathering around our feet 🤭
Love it! Mine love getting veggies too. Cucumbers, zucchini, squash, lettuce. I had some chicken in the freezer that had freezer burn on it, so I boiled it and mixed with some cooked rice and they were in heaven.
