Wow! They have grown so much!
Very prettySo excited! I got my new roo today! He is a splash BLRW! NOT show quality, but very pretty in my books! I have three hens and only one is a Wyandotte....he seemed to know that and picked her out immediately!! I'm a little worried though cause he's SO big!! By girls are only about 6-8 months old and he has to be full grown. HUGE! At least compared to my hens. He wanted to get right to work....
She is so big and fluffy and pretty.
Do you have a rooster or two? They should be good at keeping an eye out for hawks.
Also, do you have cover for them in the open areas. Some hawks are pretty aggressive, especially if they are starving, but just being able to run under something will help.
Some chickens are just stupid, too. My Ameraucanas are fabulous free rangers. If anything sounds an alarm, they all run for the fence line and cover. I have another bird, a Polish, who just stands in the middle of the yard with her head up looking around for the danger. (Yes, I tape up her top knot, so she can see.) She is hawk dinner waiting to happen. A breeder friend of mine said that some birds were just stupid and that a lot of breeds have had their natural survival instincts bred right out of them.
I hope those two turn up.

I've got to figure out a way to get my stuff built so I get my chicks.... I wish I knew people that would help me. Handy people are hard to find these days. Everyone just pays to have stuff done around here. I can't afford to pay so i will have to figure this out.
Does anyone know if you can get the Marek's vaccine locally? Or can I only get it via internet?
Maybe you can find your answer in here> https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...s-users-please-share-usage-dosage-storage-etcHow do you mix up Oxine? I bought a quart bottle thinking I could just add water, but the label says to add "Oxine Activator" or use Citric acid. The supplier added a label that just gave the amount to add to water. What does everyone else do? Thanks.
