Lesson learned got home yesterday to all dead birds on the teepees. Something came thru and killed them all. I will still use the teepees however this season has taught me that nothing stays on the teepees after dark.
Here is the new rooster coops. Also the rooster that survived the slaughter
Figured he deserved a hen so they are a pair of butchers
Here is the start of the coop if anyone wants dimensions I can supply them
Free ranger lacy and she is sold for a rooster so can’t wait to see the rooster
Pairs of butchers
Miner blue rooster going to be the breeder and he is always by ur feet like one day he’s gunna hit me. Be back with some more pics and thanks for following
So I’d like to start out n say this time of year for everyone is tough. Cold rainy and not so good for birds. Especially if u have overlooked some aspects when building coops. This journey I have taken you guys on with me so far has been one to remember and one to learn from. I have seen just about it all. (Frozen birds in the winter, diseases, birds bloody and damaged from fighting and even a total collapse of a greenhouse that was 30’x36’ at a 10,000$ expense.) but the moral of the story is u keep pushing forward n u don’t let that slow u down. My topic today is worming and how I do and my thoughts. Ever have a bird that looks to be yawning opening its mouth almost gasping for air. Worms.....
Here is a great article I found http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2015/11/control-treatment-of-worms-in-chickens.html?m=1
Miner blue hen on left and butcher female on right and yes hens to fight as well
That is what they are about to do. I was able to catch all the free rangers and this hen was my last to catch for the Gamefowl so now to catch all of the black free ranging chickens
These small cages are great for a pair. They work so well and are very cheap to build. I can build this coop cheaper it’s just set up for snow. It’s snowing right now and this has been the second time it’s snowed this week. Nothing sticks to the ground but I have so much cleanup to do with the yard I am not ready for sure but I’ll keep trucking along. See u next time
