I have had chickens for 3 years and have hatched many from my incubator. I have one chick that hatched a day early and was walking just fine for 2 weeks. She is now almost 3 weeks old and started hock walkng 2 days ago. I thought she had gotten hurt but I have no idea how, she is in a very good...
I rescued a young injured rock dove last Thursday. She is currently housed in a dog kennel but I am wondering if she could live happily with my 5 silkie hens? She is unable to fly and her left wing seems to drag just a bit. Other pigeons were dive bombing her so I stepped in. She is sweet and...
No. We just recently found out that the babies were roos. We are fine at letting the Littles grow a bit more but ideally, we plan on moving them in to their own bachelor enclosure. We mostly want to get our big one year old Roo Lil Peep, out of the hen area so they and I aren't abused anymore by...
I am planning to make a coop and bachelor run for three roosters. The year old, Lil Peep, will be taken out of the run he has had with the hens. He is super rough on them and is extremely protective. I love him so I am making him a new area where hopefully he won't feel the need to try and kill...
We hatched a chicken from my favorite hen and had a friend give us a silkie brahma of the same age. They are now 11weeks old and were taking turns crowing this morning! My Gigi sounds like a whopie cushion btw, lol
I had planned on assimilating them into my flock of 13plus rooster soon. Any...
What do you think about him being a black copper maran? He has the coloring, feathered feet, and he is getting some time bits of copper on the back of his neck and hackles.
I plan on upgrading them to a nice greenhouse in my back yard. We have an acre. I want to take my time to make it perfect against predators. How long do you think I have? The kennel is 6x10. I have a dirt bath area, roots, vegi treat bag...
He has had them the whole time we've had him. He also getting some copper on the back of his head/neck area which made me think of black copper marans. I think his is beautiful.
Thank you for the advice. I have plans for the next upgrade. I have really nice wood framed greenhouse in my backyard. My property is an acre. I plan to convert the green house into a chicken coop with a large run. Do you think I can wait for spring? It they are brahma mixes and the others are...
We found them on July 14th, and people that have chickens told us they thought they were about 2wks old. I just counted from there... I haven't ever had chickens(till now). I got them an indoor coop and pen and then used a steel dog kennel and designed an area right by our porch for them. My...
Thank you. I'm happy to have muttchickens. I'm a mutt too. We thought maybe they were abandoned because someone thought they were roos but Lil Peep is the only one looking Roo like.
