Does anyone have a pic of chicks &/or older black copper marans wheaten marans cross? I bought some chicks that are supposed to be black copper marans, they are marans I saw the eggs but 1 looks brown with a lot of brown coming in on the feathers. A couple look like they could be cuckoo marans &...
It's been just under a week & the temp seems to be steady according to 4 different thermometers, not counting the one that came with it, si I figured I'd do the hygrometer test at the last turning for the night before I went to bed.
I turned the eggs, took out the 2 thermometer with hygrometer...
I've been looking at a lot of threads, pics, videos & was wondering why the dark blob on day 3 candling would be moving?
There's nothing really there yet so what, why?
Thanks
When I got her (a couple weeks ago or so) I think she had vent gleet ... she's much better. I was trying to look at her just a bit ago & made her upchuck on accident. I was able to see that she has feathers growing back back there but I still think her vent tore at some point ... the top part &...
I have tried printing these out & none of them print out right. They're either too small (yes, I've even messed with printer setting ... no go) or don't save correctly to computer.
Have to pull up in a browser which then again do not print out correctly.
Is there not a pic somewhere that will...
I just noticed it maybe a week ago. They're probably 2-3 months old, maybe ... don't remember when I bought them.
It's not crossbeak ... the whole beak is crooked & growing to, I think, the left. The other 2 are fine. It acts fine, active, eats, even uses the waterer with chicken nipples.
Does...
I'm pretty sure it's a boy.
I got him because I liked his color ... a gray/blue even as a chick. He had a bare bottom area so I got him marked down. He was also feathering in weird ... like really slow or something. I could see wing shape.
He is no longer bare butted, it's now fluffy. His tail...
We were given a hen whose rear end looked dirty, did some research, cleaned her up the best I could (soaked her rear in in soapy water with a little epsom salt) & put some antifungal cream on (2 kinds). Here's a pic from a few minutes ago ... her feathers are still wet from bath & that white...
Hope this is the right section.
My chickens all got along great. Good rooster, does what he's supposed to, not rough etc.
Then today my biggest hen was fighting him, she was instigating it, going after him .... making his comb bleed & such.
Why would she do this all of a sudden?? It's very...
I got my nipples today so will be doing this tomorrow, none of the instructions say whether a small hole is needed or loose fitting lid. or anything like that so .... am I going to need a small hole or something or do these work with a lid with no hole?
Thanks
I have some nipples on their way but I've seen some posts about the buckets being too heavy when hanging.
So I was thinking about this & was wondering if you criss crossed something (like chain maybe) under the bucket between the nipples all the way back up to the top & also hung it on the hook...
Welp, I did what someone here said & went to Wal-mart & got the cheap clear car mat ($1something). I cut it in strips, overlapped them a little & put them over the pop door. I hooked one up for a few days then dropped it down at night & eventually, over a matter of days, they all came out...
Chicks are a few weeks old & are mostly feathered but I noticed there's not alot of feathers on the side of ones neck. I noticed it when she stretched so it's hidden under other feathers. I don't know if it's the same one or a different one but also under the wings.
My question is ... when...
I can't make it come straight out from the pop door, has anyone ever built it sideways along the house or can it be done?
I've looked alot but everyone's seems to come straight out.
Thanks.
