Hello jbirds and thanks for the welcome. :)

All the chicks were hers. She is a sultan and dad is a game rooster. Here is some pics from the first day of hatch. Not sure why they aren't showing up on page 2 anymore. PS. Got the coop and run finished long time ago. Bought 2 RIR, 2 BR and 2 EE chicks. They will be 5 months old...

Thank you for the welcome. :D

I have some updated pics of the chicks. They will be 4 months old next wk. I have 5 pullets and 3 roos. Anybody need a roo or two? :barnie This roo looks similar to another but ones comb is taller This roo has lighter colors and almost a light yellow coloring on his side although he...

Think I will pass on that morsel. :P

Well, we started clearing out a spot for the run and are going to fix an old shed we have for the coop. Going to start the shed first and set the posts for the run on Monday. Then, we will only work on the rest on Sundays since that is the only time DH usually has off. I think I have him...

Oh, I forgot to say that I will be asking him if the electric wire has control settings or not. All I remember him saying was that if anything like a snake or small animal got on it that it would die. We will see.

LOL on the shock collar. I fully understand your experience, my sis' dog never was fazed by it either. Such a waste of money. Well, I convinced him tonight just to put wire mess 3 ft up on the sides and lay two feet on the ground(outside). He is wanted to use chain link fence on the rest of...

Oh, I know in the long run it would be best but wouldn't it kill any baby kitties that got near the fence. That is my biggest concern. I don't have an incubator to hatch any of the eggs the others are laying. I have been keeping them and putting them in the fridge. Hubby won't let me get but...

Chicklette, I wasn't going to but he saw them already. My pot belly pig's pen is near his fence line. No avoiding it since their brooder is in with the pig. He said he will give me some. I just worry about the ones he decides to keep. He still hasn't secured his chicken pen and his other...

The first two pics are her with some of the chicks. You can't tell she has 8 because some are hiding under her. The last pic is of the first one that hatched.

She hatched 8 chicks. Mom and chicks are doing great. The other 4 eggs didn't develop. I will get some pics up tonight or in the morning at the latest. Most of them are her chicks(five toes) mixed with a welsummer rooster or at least that is what I believe he is. Cutest things!!!

Sultan has two hatched and 5 that have zip lined so I see them. They are so cuteeeee. Hubby thinks I am nuts but I am so excited. Neighbor said he will share some with me. Went to the feed store and got feeder, feed and watered for them and momma today. Got momma laying pellets and babies...

Thanks for all the nice welcomes. I have tried to tell him how bad of a situation this is but he just doesn't care. I know if I steal them then he would get mad and refuse to let me cure the injured and sick. His rooster and 3 free range chickens stay in my backyard free ranging and jump in...

Forgot to mention that we haven't started the coop yet. I hope we will be able to within a month or two at the latest. I understand about finances especially with school. Just hang in there. I have been looking at a lot of coop designs on here. Pretty neat ideas and someone made theirs out...

Hey there, we are almost neighbors. My neighbor knows that I am always doctoring up his chickens. I hate to say it but he just doesn't care. He isn't really getting any rewards since his 2 hens keep laying their eggs in my pot belly pigs pen. Sometimes, I bring them to him but most of the...

I am from the big state of Texas in a little town north of Beaumont. I have been reading on this forum for over a yr but never joined until now. I haven't gotten any chicks yet because my neighbors white sultan decided to sit on some eggs in our brooder. Some eggs are hers and some are white...
