Had my ladies a week now so they are 11 weeks old. They are ISA Browns and I have 4. I've got them for my autistic children to interact with and for the eggs Looking forward to learning from you all and chatting This is the coop I have And this is my oldest with (his) lady We got them from wwwgpotterpoultry.co.uk which is a farm near Thirsk in North Yorkshire
Thank you for the warm welcome, Joe my oldest was most indignant by the rude chicken that pecked his finger today until I explained they don't have very good aim haha. He is now going to teach them how to target their pecks better. The ladies will be 12 weeks old this week, how long should I wait before I clip their wings
Alright great to have you joining the BYC flock Great coop Working with Autistic children my hat is off to you I have one who really bad and ford he works very well with animals but also has a mean streak once in a wile so I need to keep an eye on him ,,,,, are you getting help in the local school for this disability Feeding time at the zoo Pullets bedding down for the evening Wish you well in your poultry endeavors gander007
I don't work with them, they are my sons. Joe is high functioning autistic and epileptic and Fred my youngest is severely autistic. They don't have a bad bone in their bodies so no worries there. Joe goes to mainstream school and gets help and Fred goes to a special needs school that specialises in autism.
