I am also having a herb garden chicken dirt bathing issue. I have tried to get them to stop...I think next year they will have their own herb garden and I will leave clear spots for them to get in there! Maybe they will like that better than mine. they have mashed my fennel and mint until I...
well, my beautiful Roo has started crowing! Yep "Big Boy" from my profile pic finally made his imperfect attempt at his morning crow. If anyone would like a beautiful Roo, please let me know. I cant keep one where I live. I would be willing to trade for a hen that is laying or a dressed and...
no. She had thick yellow mucus. She never would let people get close to her so she is one that we probably did not check on as thoroughly as the others. That's where the name Skitzy came from. She was always a thin bird and never a noticeable weight loss when she would be running around. We...
not real sure. Came from TSC. They said she was a leghorn but to us she was just a pretty yellow chick the same size as the others we bought that day. lol we did a lot of research before and made sure we had everything we thought we needed before getting them home but then we realized just...
Lost my first fluffy butt last night. I did all I could but she just did not make it. Wow...she was one that would not let you touch her much less hold her unless you got her off the roost so for her to let me hold her to syringe feed her and clean that gunk out as much as I could was the...
I just posted about my chicken that is sick in the emergency area. If any of yall read it and can help, please let me know. This is my first "sick' chick and I am a little flustered about what to do!
we were actually told our fat white chicken "Dumplin" was a leghorn. She does waddle but has very thick fat legs. She seems to do ok but is slower than the other chickens. She even sounds somewhat like a goose instead of a chicken. Our boss chicken seems to peck at the fatty a lot. She is a...
that's why I am more sure he is a roo now than before. We cant have roos here in the neighborhood but I will keep him until he crows...just to be sure! lol He is a beautiful bird. I just uploaded pics of all my chickens if anyone would like to see them. You can see more pics of him and my...
my babies have started laying! Not sure which of the 7 it is yet but this was 2 days of eggs. (I posted a pic of the one I think is a roo and the one that I think is too fat to get to the next box so I am not going to consider them as the layers yet)
this is our fatty named Dumplin' We were told she is a leghorn. After some questions, many said that leghorns are not fat birds so what do you think she is? Sorry for one pic at a time but I have tried to upload these pics for two days and it will not let me post more than one pic per post...
Beautiful birds but I cant handle any more at this time. I have nine and live on a little shy of 1/3 acre lot. I do one day want both EE and OE but cant do it now. I so much appreciate the offer!
