Chicklette, I would love for you to take these two or at least one. Chuck, they are half OEG and half Sultan. One is larger in size then the other. They are a little flighty but not aggressive to people at all. I will take some more pics and post them later today. Just let me know. :D
I have 3 Roos with 11 hens. The Roos are all brothers and 5 1/2 months old. The hens are 6 months and some 5 1/2 months. Roos are fighting now. I think it is partly because they are half old OEG. I took 2 out of the coop and run but when I let them free-range it is game on. That is why I...
Hello to you Wink. I am not sure about the chicken ordinances in my town but after both neighbors having chickens for years, I decided to get some anyway. I do have a pot-belly pig that stays in a pen, everyone knows I have her and they haven't said anything. She is 12 years old so they have...
I understand. Theses came from my neighbors chicken and rooster. His chickens stay in my backyard during the day free ranging near the woods. I tried to get neighbor to take them or at least half but ended with all of the chicks. One rooster will come to me and let me hold and pet him, the...
Yes, Helen. They are all part sultan/OEG. They are about 4 half months old. If you do decide to get a rooster, please let me know. I need to re-home 2 out of the 3 that I have. One is really taller than the other two. I can post some updated pics, if needed. They are mating with my hens...
I see we are suppose to get 80's during the day and 60's at night on Sunday. I sure hope it pans out. I usually hate winter but can't wait for it to arrive now. We are going to be up to 100 everyday until the front. :barnie
Thanks Vickir. I need to give away one of the mixed roos. I have 3 from the sultan/old english game hatch. They are 4 months old and already trying to mate. Won't be long and they will be fighting for real. Right now, they just practice. Hard to find a home for a rooster but even worse for...
Thanks ange. I thought he was 2-3 months but checked my calendar and he is just now going to be close to 2 months. He is only PQ but we don't show our chickens. He is much loved as all ours are.
Oh, it wasn't easy getting her beak open enough to see. Was so worried that I was going to mess up her top beak. Most of the time I had to hold a flashlight on my shoulder with my cheek to be able to use both hands. Sometimes, I held her wrapped in a towel. I think she got tired of fighting...
I almost forgot. All his chickens still run loose around my back yard all day. The hens lay in some nesting boxes that I have in an old cage that I leave the door propped open. I asked him if he wanted the eggs but he declined. I guess I get to reap the rewards since they like to fertilize...
Hello to everyone and welcome to all the new members. I am just north of Beaumont in Kountze. I haven't been on in a good while. I am the one that thought my RIR had canker. Drove all the way to Houston to get meds. Well, about a wk or so after taking medicine, I noticed she had a piece of...
Welcome back. Interesting about the catfish food. Would like to know how it works out. We had to reinstall tin to a shed for our coop. It was a pain but better than starting with nothing. Run wasn't hard to do except for hanging and stapling the wire on top. Hard to keep it tight. Took...
So happy that you were able to find a good home for them. I know I have 3 baby Roos, possibility of a pre teen roo and a 5 month old roo that is still healing from a dog attack. He is starting to get his feathers back on his neck. It is the neighbors but all his chickens think my yard is...
Wow thanks for letting me know that. Very interesting about the old timer. Yeah I got their card. RIR is eating and finally seen her drinking today. I had been giving her food that was really soaked because I was starting to worry she wasnt drinking that much. She even played in the water...
