Seven dead hens within 4 hours, not attacked. UPDATE: Teflon Poisoning!

They’re so active I don’t dare leave a warming lamp on overnight like I did before.

But you aren't going to put a heat lamp in there, right?

Lovely birds, I would guess the white earlobes come from the leghorns.

I think I missed what breed(s) they are. They sure look perfect for him!

She said they were a mix of Black Leghorn, Lakenvelder and Phoenix. I don't see the Phoenix in them, I was expecting much more of a game bird look, larger tail feathers, etc.

They'll be fun to observe wth that mix!

Did they come from a heated barn? If not I wouldn't worry too much there's enough to cuddle up.

View attachment 1236049 There’s a lot of dust in the air as there were a lot of feathers flapping just before I got this. They’re definitely faster than my old girls. Here is Sir Lane standing tall among them though- I think he’s a happy rooster today. I’m going to give them an hour to chill out, then I’m bringing fresh water and a treat before lights out. They’re so active I don’t dare leave a warming lamp on overnight like I did before. One already laid an egg on the way home too!

Aww....they look fabulous!! And @Wyorp Rock is so right, he DOES look quite satisfied!!!

Great job!!!

No, I'm not worried now that they have one another.

X2 If they came from a non heated barn, do not add heat. All the heat from these birds together could melt an iceburg.

That is a great picture. Thank you so much for updating us, I've been thinking about Mr. Staley this whole weekend.
Good luck tonight and tomorrow. I'm sure it will go fine. Keep us updated!
