I grew up with chickens in upstate New York, living in a outter borough of the city now, what a terrible idea. I’m a corner house it’s been about 2 years now with 5 bantams. They are EXTREMELY loud, have plenty of space, just relentlessly loud (not the egg song) just making a “CAW CAW CAW CAW”...
Haha I’ve had bantams before long time ago with family, this one is hands down the loudest I’m in Staten Island, NY, i have no nieghbors on their side but she is brutal. The others are angels.
Also it’s not just that area they have access to, they have a 20x40 4ft covered area under my deck with full reign it’s only 5 bantams and over 1000sqft of space. Fresh water and veggies daily with crickets mixed in, i don’t get it.
My chickens have always been good and quiet minus the egg song which i don’t mind but only one has been an issue since birth (female bantam Easter egger) she screams and i mean screams every morning i have the link to recording, also caught her attempting to crow like a rooster. ( she is 100%...
She passed away this morning, i noticed she was completely covered in black tiny mites 2-3 days ago tried bathing her in anti mite solution seemed too late she was skin and bones.
She’s a lot smaller then the rest she laid an egg that was tiny (correct shape). I separated her, she feels like a bag of bones almost not like full and plump like the others but she’s eating and drinking fine, i really appreciate the response.
I feed her purena layena with cucumbers and corn once a week, she is 7months old, what is tart cherry? Like the juice people drink for gout? Also she doesn’t lay, she is the smallest out of the bunch she’s layed maybe one egg ever.
So last week she started limping swollen feet a bit, now she’s getting abused by other hens i have her isolated in the basement in a pen. She’s eating and drinking fine and seems to be enjoying the ac and relaxing. I put this spray on her wound and feet. Any tips i really love her i bonded with...
Started being fed at 18 weeks they were hatched November first, i do give them a handful of meal worms also per day and she usually eats the majority that could be it, you think cutting down on the protein from meal worms will help?
Oh god yea it’s just one who’s horrible, the local zoo has a massive bantam flock im going to give it another week, and If not any better I’ll bring her there
Im not sure what to do i love them as my pets and don’t want to get rid of them the entire day they don’t make a peep but in the morning first hour she goes ballistic
Thank you yea she’s SO loud like a loud crow rapid blast 5-6 times i live in the city on a corner of a busy block no nieghbors on that side except across the street but just worried when windows start to open this will be bad
