I did think about those! Did not know if anyone actually USED them though. Interesting...
I may need to look for a crochet or sewing pattern. My knitting skills are very poor. Thank you for sending this!
I got her this spring, and she was full grown. So, no idea on age. She was broody in May or June & hatched 2 chicks from my Marans. I kept her separated from the roos all summer & fed her Nutrena Feather Fixer. When I got her, she was almost completely bald, so she has improved, just never...
I wound up buying a tiny frizzle hen who I thought was in desperate need of TLC. As it turns out, "Pretty Girl" is probably the product of frizzlexfrizzle breeding. She is almost completely bald on her back, and her stomach & legs are spotty. I am afraid she will get frostbite this winter...
He got worse before he got better - poor baby! #2 hatched even worse that #1 did. I alternated dripping clean water through a syringe & a B Complex solution. With a lot of patience & babying, both are upright and doing MUCH better. #1's beak is twisted, so they are still facing some...
2 Sebbie/Buff Saddleback cross eggs - 1 just hatched & 1 is working on it. The one that hatched has a crossed beak, and its eyes don't look right. It has NO coordination - keeps throwing its head back and falling flat on his back. I am REALLY hoping that as it dries, and gains a bit of...
I have had "Rexy" for about a year. Got him as a gander, and got him a goose partner recently. Rexy is a grey & Sophie is white. One of them has started laying. I broke open the first one I found, and though it was pattially frozen, it appeared fertile. Rexy is the only one I ever see...
Rexy had attached himself to a tiny call duck, who was recently killed. Rexy is terribly lost without his little girl. I want to get him another friend, preferably of his own breed. He is an awesome bird, who doesn't realize he is a bird. I am hoping to find one fairly close, so I can pick...
We put a chicken coop by our pond, and have them locked in. Plan to start letting them out during the day, after they have figured out this is now home. When I get new chickens, I keep them penned for awhile to let them get used to the coop they will be locked up in overnight. Do ducks "catch...
Hello again! Used to post, but haven't for quite some time. NW MO here - just north of St Joseph. I am lining up eggs to fill our incubator for my 2nd grade daughter's class next week. Going to be so fun! I am on the hunt for an OvaScope - hopefully an affordable one - to use when we candle. My...
They look like my BBRed babies - Old English. They are tiny & look like quail. Mine have always had LOTS of personality. We try to keep a couple around, because our very first roo was a fiesty little BBRed named Charlie. He took his job protecting his ladies VERY seriously. All but 1 of his...
Thanks for posting everybody! Jaxon4141 - I have looked at your pictures over & over. Quite a setup! Do you mark & drill all of those little holes for the wire to go through the PVC?
:)
I have looked at every plan I can get my hands on. Just cannot find "the one."
My yokohamas are tiny, but I want to build a tractor they can use when they need
The extra tail room too. The problem I keep having is - if it is tall enough to
Allow for the tails, it is HEAVY or else it is so...
We have had "normal" chickens for quite awhile, but we are getting into Yokohamas now, too. I want to keep them separate of course, and I believe they would benefit from different accomodations than my Wellies, EE's etc. due to their long tails. I don't want to start all over again next year...
