She just laid her first tiny egg haha you were right. :) she was trying out nesting boxes and was irritated she didn’t get the one the other chicken was in haha
Is this a boy or girl? Whatever it is it started making really loud noises and is harassing my buff Orpington in the nesting box that is laying. We thought it was a hen but now I am unsure because of all the ruckus.
Yes, I have been putting grit in her kennel. How fast should I be advancing the food she is eating in quantity? I don’t want to starve her but don’t want to give her to much either 😬 I have been giving her small amounts every 6 ish hours.
So, first experience with crop struggles.
Found our 18 week old Rhode Island Red bird (not laying yet) hen with a super distended crop and was spitting up fluids, crop was not emptying overnight. Super squishy crop, figured it was sour crop/impacted. Started her on miconazole twice a day...
REHOMING BEAUTIFUL BUFF ORPINGTON ROOSTER to a good home!
He is kind, protective of his girls but not aggressive, will allow you to pet him and is very curious! He was born in March and has yet to crow but we live in an HOA and don’t want to risk losing our whole flock because of a noise...
I have a beautiful Buff Orpington rooster in AZ that I need to rehome. We live in an HOA and if he crows we could lose our whole flock. He is so friendly to people, will allow you to pet him, he is curious and takes good care of his girls. I am really bummed because he is my absolute favorite...
Hey! I am so sad but we have to get rid of our beautiful Buff Orpington Rooster. We live in an HOA and run the risk of losing our whole flock if someone complains once he starts to crow. He was born in March and has not crowed yet.
He is my favorite one! He is so friendly, curious, and doesn’t...
They were in a dog kennel. One was pulled through the spaces in between. Not sure if they just got full… they are 5 weeks old and we are moving them into their official coop this week 😞
We recently had a wild animal attack, ate one of our chickens and injured another.
It took a decent part of her wing. I have been washing and putting neosporin on it.. it may be infected.. not sure what antibiotics I can get quickly. Or what to give. She has been eating and drinking. She gets...
Thank you so much for the wisdom!! I wasn’t intending to get a speckled Sussex but they didn’t have the heat tolerant breeds I really intended and had read about! I will definitely be keeping an eye on her! Thank you!
I am new to chickens! Have wanted them for years but finally convinced my husband that we should pull the trigger!
We have 4 new baby chicks, live in good ol’ az where it is good and hot so any wisdom on keeping them healthy and happy in the heat is greatly appreciated!
I just got 4 baby chickens from our local feed store, all different breeds. One, my ameracuana, is bigger than the rest. She/He at 630 am starts to chirp super loud, then randomly throughout the day while everyone else is eating/sleeping/drinking or under the brooder heat plate, stands on top of...
