My Buff Brahma is currently doing the same thing..... so loud you think she is in pain, and it's not the " I laid an egg!" bragging ....... I even got up from the from yard just to check which one it was..... I didnt notice another around but she did get out.... and tried returning...... I...
Nope.... no broodies at the moment lol..... The barnevelder is molting... she is also underweight.... I've considered separating her because it makes it easier for me to tend to her more.... but it's something ive always had at least 3 hens I can think of that has it... I tried corona cream...
I have been having this issue for a while with just a few of my hens and I would love to find a solution or at least understand what is going on because it's only with certain hens.... Usually my Speckled Sussex have extremely dry skin on their breast bone..... with one spot usually callus and...
Keet hatched last night and can’t seem to stay up right. His little leg stretches out, moves around but it’s as if he kept it curled in the egg and can’t balance on it. I find him on his side. There are no obvious deformities… and I have tried holding him so he can try balancing on both…. Any...
Hi there! So, I’ve come to the point where my coops, run, feeders, basically everything is going to be revamped…. I’ve had my flock for 1 1/2 years and have learned what I need vs what I don’t need. Lol, looks like I have some hard work to do too! 😫. I will probably have lots of questions for...
This is very interesting, and the first time I’ve read anything regarding the comb size. Thank you for sharing!! I’m in SW Texas… and the heat has been absolutely insufferable… I even gone to lengthy mess sure of letting my flock which is small at the moment into the backyard we’re is a lot...
They should be already calling but it’s hard to say since they haven’t been separated yet…. And im guessing at ages…. How old are they? My birds at they age were so happy and their sounds were very soft and playful…. Then a raccoon or coons came and killed two…. I was devastated…. Seriously I...
Females have a two syllable call and the males are just one… it’s usually pretty obvious… also I read the females bump (I don’t remember what it’s called) leans more towards tha back supposedly I can’t necessarily say I’ve noticed this.
I grew up with guineas… they were already on the house and...
I’m able to get a better look at it now… it doesn’t have any issues with its butt lol… it’s just that piece of cord that is there does get feces on it… I think that is what I’m mainly concerned about… I didn’t know if it was something that would just fall once hatched…
Lots of questions and i apologize if I jump around on topic…. Im curious, I had two hens lay their first clutches…..we had plenty of experience with guineas growing up but that was over 20 years ago and I’m trying to reestablish a flock….. as expected one hen just laid and if she did set it...
What happens if it separates but is left with some tissue sticking out…. I’ve been reading comments and other posts with pics and the chicks born with worse conditions than mine. This keet has a very small piece of tissue from where it was connected in the egg sticking out…. I haven’t incubated...
