One of our bantams went broody on fake eggs and stopped laying...SO, I gave her some of the regular size hen’s eggs. It’s going to be cute watching the chick quickly grow bigger than “mom”, especially as baby chick keeps climbing on mom’s back
My boy Drum was the 10% in an assorted colored egg layer. The chickens could be any of the following:
Americana, Olive Egger, Prairie Bluebell Egger™, Sapphire Olive Egger™, Starlight Green Egger™, Midnight Majesty Marans™, French Black Copper Marans, or Cuckoo Marans
take a look, what do you...
I cannot stop staring at this egg! My ladies are young and just started laying,. This is egg number two from this hen. Yesterday’s was big, however today’s is GIGANTIC!
My Fourth hen laid her first egg today. She is the first of my black Cooper’s to lay an egg. Please look at the picture of her egg. It is the first egg I’ve seen come out that is splotchy looking
So last Sunday I picked up 3 baby chicks; 2 and 1 week old molted D’uccles and a 5 days old Golden Seabright. I got them to add to my three 15 week cochin bantams (once big enough). Once I saw the place, I should have ran. I took them though.
The Seabright died within 2 days, the 1 week old had...
I am not sure which one of my 10 dropped this. Everyone is acting normal. I’m going to do some serious watching to figure out who. However, I’ve read about shedding intestinal lining, could this be that or should I start treating for coccidiosis?
Same picture, one is just zoomed in.
Okay, newbie struggles. I’ve decided to keep my standards separate from my bantams and since I ended up with a Roo and Two Hens instead of Three - I’m a little lost. I tried to find some as old as the ones I have (12-14 weeks), wasn’t gonna happen. So I got two Mottled D’uccles and a Golden...
We picked up 3 new chicks yesterday for our Bantam flock, it was supposed to be 3 Mille Fleurs and they were accidentally given to someone else, so we left with 2 Moltted (1 week and 2 weeks old) and a Golden Seabright (5 days old).
At just shy of 4 months in with chickens, I’m clearly still a...
I have 9 week old mixed REGULAR sized birds, 10 of them and ended up with one Rooster. We were then given 3 super cute Moltted Cochin Bantams and 1 of them is definitely a Rooster. Is there anyway to make this work?
We have 10 in our flock and they are 7 weeks old. One Roo and his nine ladies. The Roo is an Americana and the girls are ISA Browns, French Copper Marans, Starlight Green, Easter Egger and Midnight Majesty Marans.
TODAY, we received 3 sweet Mottled Cochin Bantams who are 6-10 weeks old. I’ve...
I noticed something in his beak yesterday, I thought it was dirt or poop. After a closer look, it’s a cut of sorts. How does it look? Any suggestions? Im off to google it for now...
Hi all! Just snapped some photos of my flock. They are 6 weeks 3 days old. I order the Color egg assortment from Hoover’s. According to the description, I could revive any combo of the following:
Americana, Cuckoo Marans, French Black Copper Marans, Midnight Majesty Marans, Prairie Bluebell...
Anyone familiar with any cases of being able to keep roosters when they aren’t allowed. At least one, if not two (please just be one) only ten chicks is a rooster. We live on 5 acres and all of neighbors have same if not more land. Are there any instances when you can be allowed to keep a...
She is 4 weeks and 1 day old, and the only one who looks weird around neck/shoulder area. I tried to get good pictures, we are first time chicken parents. This is only the second time they have been outside for supervised play time.
My 4 week old chicks are enjoying their second day outside and they are cracking me up all dust bathing! Almost all 10 at the same time in a pile! Stepping on faces, pushing, kicking - all seeming to immensely enjoy the crazy! I wish I could figure out how to post videos...
My 10 chicks are 3 weeks and 4 days old. I purchased them as “female” day old assortment of brown and color egg layers from TSC out of Hoover’s. This little on has me thinking, the 90% accuracy got me... thoughts?
