One of my chickens died after molting. I don't know why. No reason at all. She just was happy and healthy and then was gone.
Then a few weeks later, there was another one. Walking off balance, I started treating with molting immune boosters. She got better. She seemed to get better. No problems...
Well, my newest chicks have received their first pumpkin, and my older hens have received their second pumpkin. What a difference to see how the older girls went to town immediately, and the new girls I had to sit in there and look at it. I was trying to get them to eat the pumpkin. But nope...
2 days of working on the chicken run to add to the igloo pro chicken coop. After 2 months, the girls have grown & they needed more space Sooner then expected. Tomorrow I will put together There little makeshift roosts & install their new 5 gallon waterer & a bigger feeder.
5 are Columbian Wyandotte's (there is 1 that is all white - not sure she was what I asked for, but they were huddled together so we took her too) and the other 3 are Blue Laced Red Wyandotte's. I have not come up with any names yet.
My other older 8 hens names are: Missy, Roseanne, Rhoda...
Another hot day here in north florida, seven thirty four p m currently eighty nine degrees in my area... my girls are not laying very many eggs and nothing. I do seems to help them in their heat struggles right now. But I went out there and they showed me some love, and I got lots of pictures.
