Took the babies out into there new pen today for a little outing! They loved it! stretched wings and got to meet the big chickens, thru a wired fence, they dust bathed and ran around. They truly loved it! Got the garden tilled up and most spring plants are planted!
after a long night and a trip to the vet, we found out that the Rooster pecked my Pekin females eye and she is most likely blind in that eye, but she is on ointment and antibiotics and should be ok. I have never felt so relieved! Also thought I would never fret so much over a duck
lol I tried it, just not for me!
So chicken math has hit my husband! He just went to Clinton and they have Black australorps and Silver Wyandottes, so He calls me and states: Baby I think we can handle some more chickens and baby ducks don't you?
Mind you we have 13 chicks in a brooder 10...
I have this foam incubator I think its a little giant or something. I have tried duck eggs, guinea eggs from a feed store, and shipped bantam eggs. Got a little fertilization and veining on the shipped bantam eggs and then all of a sudden on day 15 they all died!
Egg laying has begun here! 5 of my 8 hens are laying every day and out of my three Pekin ducks I get atleast one egg a day from them. Out of the 10 bantams I bought I have 8 remaining, One passed the day we got them and last night one went missing out of the brooder, i looked every where but no...
Hey Nayeli, If you are close to Marshall, they have a bunch of silkies in their mixed bantam bin. If you know what you are looking at you might get lucky.
So sorry hun! That sux
yup he does. Never had a silkie before. He is from a full blood hatchery batch from cackle. I am sure he is all silkie. Well that is neat. I am excited.
hubby brought bantam chicks home yesterday, there is one that i just cant figure out what he/she is. It is a little yellow chick with blue furry feet and a blue beak with a little bit of an afro. any ideas?
Just got me 5 Ameracaunas but dont know what color they are, and 10 mixed bantams, so excited to see what I got. How can you tell what color the ameracaunas are gonna be at an early age?
