Aww, thank you, folks! This is great to hear, and <3 for the kind words. Though I kind of wanted my teeeeny tiny porcelain d'uccle to end up being the world's smallest roo. She's so gentle and sweet it would have be kind of funny. :)
Okay! Here’s my hopefully all-pullet bantam flock.
1) Mille fluer d’uccle
2) Green queen Easter egger
3) porcelain duccle
4) barred rock
5) buff Brahma
I can get better and more specific pics.
Yeah the video is kind of moot bc EE is definitely going after BPR.
everyone else is fine with each other. It’s this *very* personal tiff. I’m thinking about relegating EE in a dog kennel in the run and cat carrier in the hen house at night. This just seems super weird and not covered anywhere...
Also including a video. You can see the tension. Like GQEE doesn’t want her around.
yeah my chicken lady friend is pretty sure pullet and she’s studying to be an ornithologist so I feel pretty certain. I added more clutter and am sort of “dominating” the naughty one when I see her being a b by...
Photos attached.
I have three feeding stations in the coop/run. One is the larger main one, one is small cups hanging from the hardware cloth, and the other is in the henhouse—I didn’t want to originally but added that bc the days are getting so short here so they’re in the henhouse for about 12...
Hi all,
My bantams are about 11-12 weeks old. I am pretty sure everyone is female (no reddening of combs etc.).
All of a sudden my Green Queen EE HATES my Barred Plymouth Rock. They can't be in the same quadrant as one another, and my BPR keeps running away like scared for her life. GQEE will...
Okay that works out to ~.3 mL per 1 cup if I use the 2 tea per Gal ratio. Should I cut that back knowing I’m giving medicated food too? Thanks for all your help by the way. ❤️
Everyone acting okay. One--procelein d'uccle--was acting a little slow today. I got new food and Corid. I might give them a small dose in their water just to be safe. ?
Hi there,
I'm posting all my motley questions I had this morning here so as to give my poor chicken mentors a break and to hopefully have some guidance from you very helpful folks.
I've had my chicks for just 5 days and feel like I've learned a lot already (and trying to balance the...
Thought this photo I snapped of my girlies sleeping was so cute. My little Plymouth Rock caught me in the act.
Thought she looked like the Pikachu mouth-agape meme. 😂
Hi there,
I'm on high alert for pasty butt and my little porcelain d'uccle has the messiest bottom of the bunch. Her vent also sticks out a bit. I don't want to keep rubbing (gently with warm paper towels) or stressing her out more than I need to. This was after cutting some fuzz and applying a...
That was my instinct! Shoulda went with my gut but I've learned to ask-ask-ask away! :) What was weird is she is the largest and likely the "oldest" (we are probably talking hours maybe a day or two) and she is the only one still with it. Thank you, LBB!
Hi folks! Happy to be here!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Very new! Just picked up my chicks today. :)
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Five!
(3) What breeds do you have?
All bantams! Buff Brahma, barred Plymouth Rock, Green Queen Easter Egger...
Hi! This might be a silly question. Quick background: I'm a (very) new hen mom and have been doing all the research and right (to me!) things. Anyway, picked up my little baby banties today from the post office--legit drove like Cruella DeVille to get them, I was so excited--and so far everyone...
