Hey guys! Figured I’d start a thread about my flock.
We first got into chickens March of 2022. Our adventure started with 10 chicks (what we were told were Brahmas). We fell victim to instead it being an assortment of bantams. Once we got them home I noticed some had black skin and 5 toes, 2 had clean legs (one chick died the following day). We ended up with 3 silkies, 2 quail d’anvers, 3 golden laced Cochins and a porcelain D’uccle.
We really wanted Brahmas so we ended up ordering 15 from Meyers since it was cheaper to buy 15 instead of 10….the chicken math began.
About 12 weeks into our adventure we lost one of the cochins, we believe she had dwarfism. Then lost our female D’anver to an impacted crop.
That’s where our troubles began.
