Absolutely beautiful! Do you have a different area for them at night or are they always in here? I ask because I have 2 pekin and a swedish blue and a kiddie pool....the mess from their poo gets all over my yard and they get water everywhere which turns to mud. I'm trying to figure out how to...
I purchased a 2 year old blue laced at a poultry show last weekend and she is settling in nicely (only have 3 LF - now 2 hens and a rooster - my other hen is only 6 months old) - should the 2 year old start laying soon or is this a breed that stops for the winter? I was thinking she may also...
I am new to chickens in general, and I have large fowel as well, but I am so willing to eat tiny eggs forever b/c they are just the sweetest birds ever!
You think so? I am new to the whole chicken thing, but I thought she needed more curve to her backside. She's skiddish, so I'm trying to get her close enough to handle like my others.
I just purchased a pair of Old English Wheaten bantams ... fantastic! The rooster is like a parrot, sits on your shoulder and loves to be pat and the hen is very docile and they both are beautiful.
I went to the Winston-Salem poultry show this past weekend. I came home with a LF blue laced wyandotte hen, a pair of bantam Old English Wheatens & a pig!!!!
I didn't get the second private message if you sent one, I was there. I picked up a blue laced wyandotte and a pair of bantam old english wheatens....and a pig!
I purchased my first blue laced wyandotte this weekend at a poultry show. She is a 2 year old hen, I've had a really hard time finding a breeder that has any younger. Slim pickings in this area for this variety! (I know she is not the best quality, but she's what I could find-my white wyandottes...
I am a new owner of the bantam Old English Wheaten chickens. I have to say, they are so fun! Friendly, energetic, striking color and tail plumage. I know that it will take 2 eggs to equal a LF egg. I can't find any threads about the breed and this specific "type" so I thought I would start one...
I'm interested in the silkies, and maybe the easter eggers. We are building a flock for eggs and want friendly chickens, and we have heard silkies are very docile and friendly. Will you be in the tailgate section, and around what time?
I'm having a heard time finding breeders to get pullets of all LF varieties - it would be so easy to order from a hatchery, but from all the horror stories I have to tell myself NO WAY b/c they are one of the docile breeds and should be very friendly. Makes you wonder what is going on in the...
I am extremely temped, because I'm hoping someone with LF Blue and Red laced Wyandottes will have pullets for sale. I need to add to the single pullet and cockerel before he starts loving her to death as they get older. My husband is almost finished with the coup that will house 20 hens...
