I currently have one that I got as a mystery chick from Murray McMurray Hatchery he is very skittish but since I haven't had the time to really handle him very much like I would like too so I think that has a lot to do with why he is so frightened. Mine used to roost very high in our maple tree...
I want to put some sort of netting on top of my outdoor pen but I'm not sure what to use for it. My birds like to fly on the tree branches and escape. Any ideas? Pictures welcome!
I just wish that they would give you a choice for a surprise chick don't just throw something in. That's not fair to the customer. And they should state that in there details about the breed that not all will come blue otherwise you can loose many customers. Thank you for your reply!
I would give them a 4/10. I say this for multiple reasons:
1. I believe about four of my chicks died.
2. They put a bantam in as my mystery chick. I have all standard breed chicks so he had to be seperated all by him self because the others would pick on him.
3. The same mystery chick now...
Give me feedback on where you get your chicks! Last spring I ordered from Murray McMurray and was not very impressed with the breeds. For example, I ordered blue laced red wyandotte's and they turned out to be white laced red instead of a nice shade of blue. So tell me and share some of your...
What are the breeds of any of the chickens in the pictures? I got a barnyard mix and a few from Murray McMurray but I am mixed them all together and now don't know some breeds.
This is Batman. Although we call him barney. Lol he was given to me from a friend I'm surprised at how friendly and soft he is! I need to find him a girlfriend now! Show me pics of yours and give me more info about this breed?
See how he reacts to being in the pen next to the girls he might be fine with it. If he is pacing back and forth across the pen trying to get with the girls they you may want to try putting him with the goats. Very chicken it different.
