My BCM is almost 8 months old, and no egg! She has had a lot of stress, we had predator problems and she is all that is left of the original flock I bought. I got her a "friend" until we can finish the new run and add more, a year and a half old Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, since she is sooo huge...
I have one BCM hen that is about 8 months old, she is not laying yet, but looks like she is ready to. I have had predator attacks on the pullets I got this year, (started with 7) and am now down to just her. We have moved and she is in a locked shed with ventilation we are converting to a...
Hi, I am in Palestine, not too far from Tyler. I want a mixed flock and mixed egg basket, so maybe a splash or blue maran more but want some blue and green eggs too! I am thinking about 8 hens total.
Hi, I've been on this thread awhile and just realized this thread was here. Just stopping in to say Hi from East TX. Will be looking to start a new flock in about a month after we finish converting the shed to a coop. Down to one lone BCM hen. Can't wait to have more hens again!!! Would...
well, alot has happened since my last post! A fox got four of my chickens! I am down to two hens, the black copper marans and the barred rock :-( My boyfriend moved in with me and we have moved into my old house so now just waiting on him to build a bigger coop so I can feed my chicken...
Well, she told me the one I was taking back was a pullet, so we are just hanging on to them both now, and waiting to see if one crows, but I did get a nice blue with some orange on it Easter Egger and a SLW and a BC Marans for my roommate's mom for mother's day and got to see my old chickens she...
Well, I believe they are both roosters now, because of how they are acting, and they are huge! And tail feathers, soooo will be rehoming them and getting some more. Just got a leghorn pullet from my friend I know it's a girl, and my Easter Egger died, so will be getting another one of them and...
Anyone else got any idea on these two? I sure would appreciate it. Just trying to find out for certain before we go back over there Wednesday and I will exchange them for pullets. Really hoping the more speckled one is a pullet, my roommate loves it.
Their are too many cool breeds for me to have a flock of just one breed, lol! I completely agree and if I end up with mutts one day, so be it! Right now can't have a rooster so not a problem, lol.
Also, the black and white one with less speckles is supposed to be a mix of Wyandotte and RIR, which if I'm not mistaken aren't the pullets supposed to be red? No idea what the other is a mix of, I know one is Wyandotte and it's either mixed with an easter egger or a maran of some type.
That's what I was thinking, but wanted another opinion, well, crap, gonna have to exchange one and give the other away to my roommate's mom and buy another. Hopefully, I will get two pullets this time! LOL. Not sure which breeds I want to get to replace. Too many to choose from.... Guess...
