I honestly have no idea how many birds I have.

Ah, so poor Dee has been replaced with Plausible Deniability!

No, hens do make sounds but do not gobble. Are midget whites able to breed naturally?

yes they are good breeders . Thats why I was hoping the hens made the same noise.

I’m not sure. Ive never had this kind of problem before. Not really size difference but I did notice today that a few are becoming aggressive. And 2 or 3 birds have bare bums. Maybe 2 weeks old?

Now that I think of it, all the chicks that I’ve lost had bare bums.

They are wanting more protein. Try feeding mashed boiled eggs.

bare butts when there were none. hmmm.. has to be others pulling them out. Bad food ? If it was mites you would see that.

food is fine I think. It’s higher protein so I wouldn’t think others would pluck.

EEs are not mean are they ? I know how you feel about the reds though.

Sex links are nasty!

I was thinking about silly girl that passed and asking Tom if he remembered. He did. We went to our first swap ever and I dont remember where it was maybe Clarksville but it was a long drive. I had already made arrangements to pick up the 2 sisters and was so excited to go I forgot my wallet ! Oops. We get there and I go to pay cause im already in love and well, damn ! Tom had a little money, I ws driving w/o a license . We were able to scrape up $25.00 for one of them and I was heartbroken. We went home and grabbed my wallet and took right back off . LOL Sisters were reunited for a few yrs. I lost one to egg binding and then Silly girl was top hen for a long time.
