Thanks for your replies, it eases my mind. I'm glad they didn't kill any of yours grandamchicken. I guess I would be scared out of my wits too if I had survived all of that, poor girls.
Well, its been a bad month, the gate latch to the chicken pen malfunctioned somehow (it's now been replaced) after they were free ranging that evening and when I went out the next morning I had 4 hens left alive out of 22. It was horrible, they had all just started laying too. We live out in the...
I like my girls I have three of them, wish i would have gotten more, they're some of my favorites.
I just noticed the other day that the markings on her feathers kinda look like little hearts

Where abouts in NE OK are ya? I saw on your tag line you were wishing for blue Orps...I'll have chicks and eggs in the spring.. And my mother, in Inola, should have BLRW chicks and eggs then, also.
I live in Boynton, VERY small town, Please let me know about the chicks or eggs...

Well hopefully someone else will reply that knows more than me. But I'll give it a shot,... how old are your chicks? Maybe they're too warm. Or maybe theyre bored, some marbles in the water dish or some little toys hanging for them to play with
I'm so jealous, those are some cute chicks, they look like little butterballs . I've been wanting some wyandottes forever, especially the BLR. Have fun with your new babies.
I am so sorry you had to lose such a wonderful friend, but its only temporary, she'll be waiting for you by the gate, guarding your spot until its your time. I can barely see through my tears, think I'm gonna go hug my girls curled up on the sofa. Again very, very sorry. Wish that words could...
If you lay a chick in the palm of your hand on its back and it doesn't fight to right itself its a pullet if it squirms its a roo. I think this one came from a TSC employee.
This is Clyde, when I first got him and his friend Barney, I posted a pic and we all agreed Buff Orp but he's growing long black tail feathers now. All the orps I've seen don't have a tail like this, am I wrong. He looks like my new hampshire red hens. What do y'all think (again ) I'll post the...
I was just browsing craigslist and saw this ad for a rooster for sale for $50.00. Thats one way to guarantee he won't go in someones stew pot I guess. sorry just had to share.
But he is a very pretty rooster
