I was wondering if anyone on here knows of a breeder of Holland Lops in the Jacksonville,NC area or within a 2 hours drive? I am looking for good brood/show quality one with a pedigree. If anyone could help I appreciate it. Thanks
The chicks are only a day old. I was putting food and water in the coop for the babies when this happened. The hen was busy trying to feed them and was distracted by me but I punched the roo in the head for doing it. The chick kept twitching for several minutes afterwards but seems fine now...
My neighbor has a bunch of chickens that free range and are constantly in my yard. Plus 5 or 6 of their hens hatched out chicks about 2 months ago. I haven't said anything to them yet and I don't think they actually know how many chickens they have. I keep my penned up except when I clean it out...
One of my hens just hatched 2 eggs and if I take them away how long will it take her to get over it. I was going to let them be with her but we only have one coop and no other place to put her. Plus for some reason my roo(who is the dad) picked one up by the head. The baby seems to be fine. He...
I was hoping that the game hen that's with him would hatch some eggs for him but she has no interest in it. I do have two 4 month old hens that I finally got in the same pen with him, but the game hen is not happy about it. He is doing his best at keeping her from hurting the others too badly...
Today while I was cleaning out the coop and pen, which I let my chickens free range while doing it, he went straight over to the neighbors yard and tried to collect them and bring them back. This is the first time he went in that yard. He knows that the hen and babies are over there. Now there...
I have 4 chickens, 1 roo and 3 hens. Two of the hens are only 4 months old and I'm trying to put them in the big coop with the other 2 but that one hen is aggressive(she's a game hen) and the other 2 are a BR and an EE. We have a hurricane coming our way and I really need them in the main coop...
Recently our neighbors hen has been bringing her 4 babies in our yard ,and my roo has taken a liking to them. He always tries to get the one hen we have so far to stay on the nest and sit on the eggs but has not had any luck so far. Yesterday when I looked out my window I saw the baby chicks in...
Today I picked up 2 baby chicks from my feed store, 1 BR and 1 EE. I specially ordered females so I hope that's what they turn out to be. The EE wings seem to be droopy. They have gotten a little better since they have settled in the brooder. Should I be worried at it? The chick seems to be...
Thanks everyone for the advice. I never even thought of a feed store for a specific kind of breed. I used to get chicks from a feed store as a kid, but they always turned out to be a big white hen, didn't know the breed. Tomorrow I will be calling the 2 feed stores here and ask them about it...
Thanks for the replies. I asked the 2 local feed stores about the chicks but they have never mentioned anything about putting an order in. I think I might give them a call and ask.
