@popsicle strangely, there were no symptoms. It was acting normal. Eating, drinking etc. All of a sudden it started having what appeared to be a seizure.
Thanks guys. @carnivore and@popsicle. The chicken believe it or not is fine today. Just like nothing ever happened. I have the heat lamp about 24 inches above them. I check them regularly because I live in TX. Lol. It's already warn down here. But simply I keep a steady eye on their heat. He or...
I've lost 5 of my babies since Wednesday. With one currently having what appears to be seizures. I've never seen anything like it, it is heart breaking. Any ideas, on what to do or how to treat. I grew up on a farm but never saw any of our chicks do this. No worries it's calmed down but I'm...
I certainly hope they are! You will enjoy them. I have two that I got previously and they are absolutely gorgeous! Lol. I'm very excited to see the silver laced Cochin will turn out.
@zoeS95423- could the grey with black striped be silver laced wyandottes? I also have a couple of blues that I also can not figure out. I have a few chipmunks as well but I just chalked then up to be Brown leggerns. I am just having so much fun playing with them! I sound like a kid in toys r us...
I received my surprise this morning. I also got 42 chicks but 4 ducks and I also had 1 doa. The ducks are all arcona. I also received 2 turkens, 5 white crested black polish, 2 buff laced polish, 4 partridge Cochin, and what seems to be 4 German spitzhauben. I'm still trying to figure out the...
Lol. Yes that's how I feel about the water fowl. But, my husband is already getting ready with a pool. Lol. He was fussing about the surprise until he realized the variety. Then he turned into a big ol' kid.
mine is due to be shipped on the 28th as well! They said it should be here by the 30th. I live in tx so I feel badforthe trip my new babies aregoing to have to take. :-)
@hildar, I just might try knitting. It sounds like it would do the trick. Lol. We have animals here now but, only 2 dogs and 19 chickens. My birds are free range so they are easy to keep.
Well it's official, I just ordered my surprise. They are due to be shipped on the 28th. Now I have to find something to keep my mind occupied until then. Lol. :-)
I'm not new to chickens. I was raised on a farm and I'm 37 now. But I've recently moved back to the farm and now starting over with chickens and yes I am completely new to the surprise box. I am so freaking excited! Lol. I feel like I'm a kid in toys r us. A little silly for a woman near 40 but...
