    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    So sorry to hear about Henry 😔 Since I joined BYC stopping by this thread to read about Henry was always one of my favourite things to do, I'm not sure whether it was the fact he shared a name with my favourite rooster I lost just before joining and/or the fact he was a gorgeous Sussex. He's...

    Stopping by once again, I lose track of this fair too much. Unfortunate to see Henry not doing his best, every time I'm out with my own older Sussex boy I think of him and this thread. I'll be trying to check in more often.

    Once again have found myself very much behind with this thread 🫣 On my  very quick read up I started wondering how old Henry is? I'm sure that has been answered before but my memory is horrible. I was thinking of my older Sussex rooster who's age has seemed to be showing more recently and got...

    The first and last picture are Barnevelders. The chicks are Sussex (Buff variety), and the third picture is what you can get when the two above cross :)

    Lost track of this thread for bit, so a post to help with my notifications and a bit of lurker's tax.

    I don't have nest boxes as mine always choose a nice corner to use instead (Or certain ones now who wait till their out and jump the fence to lay in the bushes...), but I do have incubator babies and broody babies at the moment. I should offer them all roosting options and see who does first...

    I've never cared how/where my chickens sleep and was a little surprised when I found out there were so many people who did. Now I try to offer at least a roosting option but don't actually expect them all to use them.

    This conversation reminded me of a picture I took awhile ago. One of my pullets telling off one cockerel while the other cockerel just watches.

    Thank you! I actually hadn't realised they all placed, I only saw Bucky. But I must've seen when they were still posting the announcements. Find it interesting that Bucky was the only ABA/APA recognized colour.

    That's the wrong spot, you want watched  threads, not forums :). I'm on my phone right now and can't remember how different it looks on the computer...

    The way the naked neck genetic works she could have two naked neck parent but only one copy of the NN gene. You can tell if she only has one copy by of she has a "bib/bowtie", a clump of feather on her neck. A chicken that has two copies has a completely bare neck. Going off the fact the fact...

    Here's my "aggressive" rooster, don't tell anyone about him ;) Rodney isn't even outright aggressive, 90% of days I can walk around the paddock and do evening lock up/ feeding without incident. I just need to be aware of where he is, what I'm doing, and how he's behaving. Whenever he is out...

    My family raised some pigs for awhile. As soon as we got them my parents made sure to emphasis to us kids how dangerous they could be, maybe the things they said seemed a bit extreme but it kept us safe. I am still shocked at how casual I see people in the US (and wherever else it's legal) are...

    This girl is also trying to figure out what you're getting at :gig I think I've already shared this picture on this thread, but anyway :D

    That's interesting. Red Sussex are one of the rarest sussex varieties here. I'll share some taxes for myself and anyone else who needs it :D

    Out of curiosity, is there many options available to you for sussex varieties other then Light?

    Yes, that's what I was getting from it. Mine don't have any nest boxes right now and the pens are directly on the ground so they could go broody if they liked and would be on the dirt.

    I read Shadrach's article on nestboxes the other day it was very interesting. My girls lay wherever currently, I've been fairly lucky that most of the eggs are laid in the night pens. Just in the wood shavings in the corners.

    Yeah, mine range but they've showed me multiple times the fences don't really do much :p Sitting on the fences and gate is one of their favorite things to do. They rarely actually come out but they just like to prove their point.
