It seems they really only get into it at night so i was locking him up in the brooder box we built to keep him from the others. I let him out of the brooder box during the day and he seems to be doing better. Injuries seem to be healing well and no further instances. But we just moved and no...
I dont really have a place to separate him too thats why i was thinking it was just time to make dinner. Since that was their purpose in the first place. The only place would be with the chickens and im not really sure he will enjoy that as the roosters might be meaner than the gander.
So i ordered 3 geese last summer they are suppose to be 3 male french toulouse. Well i suspect one may be female. The one i suspect is ever so slightly smaller than the other 2 and has always hung back away from me when i have hand fed them. My suspicions are only getting stronger at this point...
It was I went into these meat birds wanting to do what is right by them and raise healthier happier birds than the grocery store. But in all honesty he would have been picked off by a predator had i not intervened. So I feel good about trying at least
We ended up euthanizing him. I nursed him for 3 weeks he started getting better but it was a ton if plateauing and he started getting some mobility but just wouldn't weight bare. But he started attacking me when I'd feed him and was just getting kind of mean. He was already so far behind the...
Sorry it was really hard to formulate and tell the process while my child was screaming at me to pay attention to her. But at first i thought it was heat due to the situation and then I was looking into things and coccidiosis came up when browsing the forum here. I looked it up and the boxes...
Ill make this a long story... so my meat chickens were in their brooder and were 3 weeks old. They are freedom rangers and not cornish x if it matters at all. I had to go run to my parents house and didnt check on them like i usually do i was gone about 2 hours. I came back and immediately...
Even the wyandottes... ive looked at photos and they look female to me but what do i know.. lol i have a batch of meat chickens they may just get thrown in with maybe ill cook 2 at a time on those ones
Okay so i recieved 4 chickens from a friend she has no idea on the breeds she got them at tsc. I know one is a cockerel the other could be either way. The one i know is a rooster has since i got him grown some brown and black spots. The other remins stark white and smaller but the comb is only...
So it may be better to just put the males in the freezer then im thinking.... if they are a danger to my new ones right now the babies are in a pen inside the big ones coop and everythingnis going allright there but i didnt think id have to separate them that long i was thinking like 10 weeks...
So I have 4 females 2 males and they are just about 20 weeks and figuring out the birds and the bees. I knew my numbers were off but i figured I'd lose one of the males during brooding or something so i got 2 well that didnt happen so i have 3 baby females about 4 weeks old now (and 3 geese the...
Thats what i was thinking. Also i think the white ones are boys but i think they are like 10ish weeks she said she got them beginning of may. But thought they maybe a bit older but i think the one giving the stinkeye is for sure a dude. The other one its probable but the brown ones from what i...
