When hubby went out to do chicken care, he found one of our Barred Rock hens dead under the roost. She may have been there for hours--we let them out in the run in the morning before we go to work, and do chicken care in the afternoon.
She was a beautiful, healthy bird as far as we could tell...
Male or female? What kind of Angoras are they? Color? I may be heading to Pennsylvania in a week or two. My husband will kill me, but tell me about your rabbits!
Your rabbits are gorgeous! I would pick up all those babies in a heartbeat if my hubby wouldn't have a fit. I have two Angoras and just love them. If only I could...
I know a lady who raises rabbits. She needs to find a home for one of her Jersey Wooley does. The rabbit is in southern Indiana. If anyone is interested, post here and I will assist with the exchange of info. Sorry, I do not have a photo or any more info at this time.
Your Penny is so pretty! I would love to able to integrate our girl with the other chickens, but I am not sure how to do so. She has been through so much already and is such a fighter!
Soo, when we got our first chickens in April this year, we just fell in love. Hub decided a couple of month later he wanted some easter eggers, sooo...when we saw Auracana chicks at a farm auction, he bid and won.
Long story short, we moved the little ones to the coop but kept them separate...
One of my two month old Auracana chicks got her head stuck in the corner of the coop. We have the younger chickens divided from the older with a wall of pallets and she somehow got her head stuck where the pallet meets the wall.
Anyway, her head is raw, no active bleeding. I have moved her...
This weekend on Chicken TV was the Great Bug Hunt. We let the girls (all ten) out of the coop and run for the first time and baby-sat them while they checked out the yard.
If I knew chickens were this much fun, I would have had them years ago! It was a learning experience for all of us. I...
I would be all over your offer if I could:
a) sell my house
b) take my 75 y/o father with me
c) convince my girls to go to college in Maine
Hub and I love Maine--we have talked about living there. Your place would be perfect! It's lovely!
Good luck with your sale!
I have moved one of our Auracana chicks to an "infirmary". I had a small mammal cage, so I fixed it up for her and she is now hanging out in the master bath.
We noticed several days ago that she walked funny. I don't know if her leg is fractured or dislocated. She is much smaller than the...
We have Lilly, Omelet and Francine, our red sex-links. Warrior Chicken, Daisy, and Rocket, our black sex-links.
The RIRs, we haven't named all of them, just Big Mama.
Our little Auracanas don't all have names. We do have Coco Chanel, Hedwig, and Fluff Butt.
Do you wash the eggs when you bring them in? Before you use them? What do you use to wash them?
I read that you can force bacteria through the shells if washed to forcefully.
What's the scoop, gang?
