This chap looks less male to me. Are you sure? Otherwise is Harry another perfect name for s nice looking boy. ❤️

Freddie is a perfect name for a pretty boy. ❤️

Ooh, so sorry to hear he’s just a boy. You should rename him to Groce. A name fit for any unwanted boy that poops everywhere he goes.

Im curious what you did with all the advice you got and how it’s going now? Please tell us, or show us, a bit more about your coop. Does it have a lots of ventilation and a window? If not it’s better for their health to go outside into a safe run at least a few hours during the day. I wouldn’t...

BBC message: BBC iPlayer only works in the UK. Sorry, it’s due to rights issues. Have to wait till our TV station buys it.

Its amazing how high they can get after a week. Most of mine in the past anyway. It depends on the breed too. A week old chick that got out starts to peep as soon as it gets cold. Its not a good sign if you don’t hear any peeps. It just cant survive very long unless the temp outside the...

Yeah, chicks grow fast and time flies. Tintin will be 10 weeks old tomorrow. And within 2 weeks time I expect a new hatch with more baby chicks.

What breed is he/she? I don’t dear to say. The feathers are pointy as with cockerels, the comb is small and light as a pullet. If you wait another month it should be clear. Sometimes (rare) a chick is a bit of both. It happens within the human kind too.

Sorry for your loss. :hugs Did you think about rats? I lost a few many years ago, in a run with netting, to a rat.

Nice. But even better if you ad your information to the article/reviews section. Enter the product and give the first review with ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ That way the information is always available for people who seach within the review section. Is it just for quail? Or useful for chickens, chicks?

Crosses often give unexpected colours. I had a lavender (light greyish) hen and a pile (mostly white ) rooster. The 2 chicks I got where black. If you want to learn more about mixing chicken genes have a look on chickenjungle. http://kippenjungle.nl/chickencalculator.html This is not a new...

Within a flock it is good behaviour for a broody to protect the chicks from nasty behaviour from the other hens. There are two ways of bringing up chicks with a broody. Separating as you choose or letting them work it out for themselves. If you separate its more easy now and more difficult...

One wing only is done, but two wings too. People who like to see their hens wings balanced prefer to cut both. A chicken with 2 shortened wings cannot fly either.

Same here + if the chickens free range its better to have proper wings, so they can sort of fly up on top of the run , over a hedge or in a tree! When a dog comes into our garden the chickens immediately flee and fly as good as they can.

Happy hatchday to all! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Looking good! A whole lot better than the cheap prefabs! Welcome!

I dont know what the actal risk would be to sleep in the tree. We do have weasels around here. Foxes probably don’t climb that high. Another reason to lock them in: if the chickens free range the whole day they wonder off quite far in neighbourhood and on the street. Once a neighbour who...

Duplicate from Shads thread:. Tintin is bigger now as his momma. The photo doesn’t show but trust me he really is bigger. 9 weeks and still sleeping with mamma Pearl in a nest box, next to the 2 broodies. Eggs are all growing ;) Black an Ini mini both came off to eat, drink and poop. Black...

I changed mine once to natural, but cant see how to change that anymore. A request to one of the managers can do wonders. @Kiki Or you can add it in your signature. But people on a mobile don’t see that in portrait. Tintin is bigger now than his momma. The photo doesn’t show but trust me he...
