i bought this girl as a jersey giant but she’s 6 months and still very small. She lays a smaller egg too. Hers is the one on the right. Her feet are white as well. Any thoughts? Doesn’t really matter either way but we are curious.
Thanks
Hi all
We bought this bird as a pullet. It’s 16 weeks old. Within the last day or so the comb and wattles have gotten darker and larger. Also looks like the neck feathers are pointy. It’s been chest bumping the others too. I really hope I’m wrong in thinking roo. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for
We brought home four 10-12 week old pullets to join our adult hen. She has chased them some but no real pecking. My question is how long that phase will last. It’s been about the same every day. We let the new girls out of the run for a few minutes this evening and she still chased them. Will...
So far so good. The Delaware chases the new ones some and a little pecking but nothing serious. She’s able to be out of the run a lot but I think it’s going well. I’m hopeful that they will be friends in time. :)
We let her in when she wanted to go in. There was a bit of chasing but not much pecking this morning. I will try to add some stuff to climb/hide on. Thanks!
last week a fox killed 2 of our girls leaving a 3 year old Delaware by herself. We got some new birds today. All 10-12 weeks old. Got a jersey giant, Rhode Island Red, naked neck, and barred rock. We let the new girls explore the coop/run while the Delaware is free ranging. She went in a couple...
i will try to get some. just looking at her it isn't as apparent but when i hold her i can feel it. the only thing i notice when looking at her is that she looks "dumpy"
i just got 2 new girls. i was told that they are 24 weeks. red sex links. one of them is doing very well but the other one is VERY thin and lethargic and stays to herself mostly. she was eating this weekend but not much now. i think she has laid an egg on sunday. i'm going to go get a wormer...
thanks all. i know she isn't a roo but my neighbors may not. i'm going to try to get another hen and pray they get along. she is kind of a *****. i was hoping she would go broody but no signs yet
i had 2 turken hens and lost one 10 days ago. now the remaining one is crowing in the morning. it is very different from her egg song. how do i make her stop? i live in the city and can't have "roosters" im afraid my neighbors will complain.
we have one hen right now. her sister died a few days ago. i am going to be getting 2 pullets that are about 5 months old and i am wondering the best way to introduce them. i've heard that letting them meet while free ranging is best but i'm concerned about getting them into the coop at night...
