Ok they are going on 2 weeks old now.
My RIR and the EE are acting like roosters
they are jumpimg up and hitting eachother breast to breast.
and just trying to jump on the others back.they have most of the wings feathered and
a few on the back. 2 have tail feathers. They are different in size...
My buff orpington is being left out. The other 2 will huddle together but when the buff comes over , the other 2 move away.Should I go back a get another buff to even out the numbers? Would that make her feel better?
ok I went to chick day and got the 3 I wanted.
Buff Orpington (goldie)
RIR (red)
Americana (cookie)
So far goldie is the loudest,
and red is the most aggressive.
cookie has been trying to peck out goldies eyes.
But this is just the first day.They seem to be happy.
water and food on board, light...
In the morning Im going to pick up 3 baby chicks.
I want 3 different colors, will they be different colors or will they change as their feathers come in?
Yes Im a newbie, sorry if thats a silly question. But I realy dont know.
I dont want to get all 3 the same I will never be able to tell them...
I want to buy some baby chicks.But where I live there are some free range hens and roos.
question is If I raise mine close and coop them for a while then let them free range,
will mine come home at night or will they go with the other crowd?
In the picture I sheltered that hen and now she comes...
