There is a rooster somewhere right of our street (think their backyard butts our street) and we can hear him crow when outside so that doesn't help. I did tell him you get used to it and don't even notice it when you have them, but don't think he believes me. LOL but not sure about my...
no we are allowed roosters here but my husband said no way to a rooster from the day he said I could get chickens. (it is his chicken that is in question too). Not sure how my neighbor would be with it though. The coop may be a bit close to our property line but he commented on it last week...
I think Itzy may be a HE. :( the comb is pinker than the other blue cochin (well and anyone elses) and the tail is till tiny compared to the other blue cohin. They seemed to feather in about the sametime everywhere else. They are a bit under 4 weeks (born either 4/7 or 4/8) so hoping I...
They are doing great! Jump out of the crate onto us when we open the door, well besides a few that are still more reserved. But a couple of those ones are starting to here and there as well. There are 4 of them that are the first out every time and hate to go back as they just want to sit...
Thanks!!!! I am afraid of build up so I have been cleaning it if I see any on their fluff even if under the vent. So far only once a day. Wasn't sure if I should do it twice or if that was too much. The first one has been good since I cleaned it. The others are ok but looked like one may...
I have 2 waterers in with them and 1 has sav-a-chick in it the other is plain. I see them drinking from both all the time, they are eating well. Under the MHP fully but then back out to run play, eat, drink, peck at the cardboard box covering the sides of the crate (which sounds like someone...
Pasty butt chick is doing great today, nothing new and looked all clean (it is one of the Rosie/Annabelle ones. So glad she will have an actual name tomorrow when my granddaughter picks which one is Rosie. hahaaa).
But noticed a tiny bit on the other Rosie/Annabelle chick but just one little...
They are in my daughter room and she is still sleeping so didn't want to wake her up but got up and 7 of them were standing outside of the MHP just hanging out chirping quietly. Oh and they have all taken to the nipple waterers and have been eating as well.
Thanks. I thought so with the light but wanted to be sure that when they were this young they didn't get up to eat or drink at night. They are all tucked in (until one daughter turned the hall light on that shined in to the room they are in and then a couple got up peeping and it took one a...
First.... I am using a MHP should I have some type of light for night for them or should they sleep all night.
One had a tiny bit of pasty butt so I used a warm damp cloth and tried to get most of it off. She wasn't blocked at all just a tiny bit of poop stuck under. If any is still stuck in...
