Back from the dead! I hope you all are doing awesome
I've still been poking around BYC but haven't really had the time to post OR make a coop!!! But I did make them a huge 5ftx4ft area box so they have enough room to hang out during the day before I can come home and give them some outside time. I feel so bad for them, finding a mom who is a nursing major. Anyway, they seem to be doing well! Growing quickly, wasting food, drinking well, and being happy.
I'm still learning every day about my babies, and the stuff I can't find online, y'all know right off the top of your head. It's so impressive. Anyway, Floyd and Calissa have been sneezing occasionally. Floyd has been doing it a lot longer and I can hear him breathe when I'm holding him? Not like wheezing or anything. I've only ever seen him with a runny nose once and that was when he was playing outside and it was a little chilly. I pulled out my stethoscope and checked his lungs for any abnormal sounds. Everything sounds good. Healthy, strong heart too
Here's a picture though because I was also wondering about the coloring around his eyes. Are they supposed to be pinkish rings around his eyes and ears?
Yes, this is my boy I rescued from a cat! I can't believe he's growing up
Everything look normal?
OH and by the way, he's crowing. I've yet to get it on video, but he'll crow when I get home from school and when I wake up in the morning. It melts my heart
Thanks Pharm! I'm glad you found sweet little Nando a good home
Been staying up to date with him
And I realized how long it REALLY has been. So you guys definitely deserve to see some better pics!
Look at her little puffs
She is SO SWEET. By far a LOT sweeter than Floyd.
Full body pic! How's he looking? I think he looks a little on the skinny side, but I'm really unsure. It's a picture from above anyway. We all know those make us look thinner
Don't have a clue where you live, but this seems like a good price and could be retrofitted easily to make it perfect for a family of two or three chickens.

I would SO buy that. It's really cheap and would fit perfectly in their area, but unfortunately by the time that I got down there to get it I'd have spent $100 in gas. I'm about an hour north of Birmingham. I'm going to check craig's list again to see if there's anything new up. Thanks Pharm
And Townhouse, I think he's a Buff Orpington mix of some sort. And thank you, Terril
I think I'm just going to pick a perfect small coop from the coops section since the boyfriend said he would get me all the materials to build it. I know, my face when he said that was like
