Did she just "site sex" them? I was able to do that with my Dominiques, and it has become very obvious with my silkies that one is a roo. So now I have 3 roos and 12 hens. I'd prefer to keep my 2 dominques together, my 2 silkies together and let the others hang together so I can hatch without...
Thanks for the pig info Olive - sorry it's taken me so long to get back around these parts. Our internet at home is incredibly slow (Hughes Net) and I can't keep up with the constant stream of comments popping up, it just takes too darn long to get everything to load!
I'm super excited to...
I want little goats, but my husband wants a big goat {boar goat??} to clear our land. Then he wants to eat him - haha. I dunno if I could!
The vet talked to me about vaccines, neutering etc. I know it's better to have more than 1. He was talking about them getting ornery and mean as they...
yes, for pets. i just had a vet last week talk me out of getting them. i figure the worst thing that could happen, is that we'd kill em and eat em if they became a "problem"....
I need more room for my chickens too, hubs is coming home early from work to start on the 2nd coop. We were lucky, my dad saved my playhouse from when I was a kid - and it's PERFECT for a coop. I'll be able to put 4 or more nesting boxes in the bottom, a space to roost and the 2 coops will...
I dunno if BR's can be site sexed like a Dominique, but if they can then that looks like a roo! I just found out yesterday 2 of my "pullets" are roos, too.
So I'm gathering there was some drama on the interwebs w/ other threads, members? I miss all the excitement, dang it. But I'm new and...
I am so glad this week is almost over, it can't be over fast enough! Saturday is our swap @ TSC - I cannot wait! I may even go w/o children so I can actually STAY!
That would be my goal, having my own photography business. I've got a Canon Rebel T3 - and it's been a great starter for me. There's a lens or two I'd like to buy and maybe a tripod, but all with time! I'll have to look into picmonkey - thanks!
BEAUTIFUL picture! Do you us PS? I need to learn to use some editing software - I downloaded GIMP since it was free, but I don't understand any of that stuff! I do love my camera - what do you shoot with?
Haha, thanks - I'm SO not a reptile fan, my oldest wants a lizard but I cannot bring myself to let him have one! No, thank God we have nothing serious going on with my son, we just lucked out that the Infectious Disease Dr's don't come to the outpatient clinic, and we had to visit the main...
We have had to keep our little ones seperate from our bigger chickens - my reds LOVE to pick on them. We've rigged up a space INSIDE to the coop/run where they can stay together. 2 silkies that have acted as mama hens since day one, 2 dominiques and 2 cochins were in there. I came outside to...
Thank you, and thanks Gigiintheforrest. I think if it had been a natural cause that took her I would feel better, but it was a black snake. At least my payback felt sufficient.
Hey ya'll... I'm a crazy chicken lady too - well, at least that's what all my friends and family have dubbed me! I love my babies so much - and I lost one today :( Very sad.
