She’s just over a year and a half. She usually lays but, along with half our flock, has been going through a molt. She has had labored breathing off and on. I want to say I gave her 200 MG as the bottle says the serving size is two tablets and the amount per serving is 400 MG. I gave her one...
Hi. I’m kinda at a loss. I’ve been reading through the different posts about egg bound hens and I’m not finding any that match EXACTLY what our hen is going through. Every day we let our girls out to free range unless it’s raining or snowing. We feed them chick starter with a bunch of other...
So, this is a two fold problem. First, we were noticing, out of no where, one of our girls was laying a paper thin egg and that the yolk and whites would either disappear or be found in the nesting boxes. And at least once a day, we would find eggs with peck holes in them. This evening, I saw...
I can’t tell you how excited I was to read this. I’ve been trying to research the different feathering and I was telling my husband, a couple months ago, that I thought she may be splash. To read what you said meant that I have been retaining some information correctly! I’m so stinking happy...
I am DROOLING over your knowledge. This is so exciting for me to learn. And you are explaining in a way that I’m understanding. I’ve been reading a ton of posts and most are not going in depth OR they are going too in depth ie leaving it at zZ zW (or something to that effect). You taking the...
I understood all of this! Thank you. It’s kinda disappointing that basically all possible outcomes from our BR roo would throw black. Not that we are breeding, but still. 😑
We didn’t end up with a lot of different variants when it comes to our EE girls. A couple black, a couple white, a couple...
I’m just curious….
we have a barred rock rooster (and a recently discovered EE rooster). Along with our roosters we have EE hens, lavender Orpingtons, jubilee Orpingtons, cream legbars, Swedish flower, and salmon faveroles. Since it is a possibility that we may end Up with babies one day, I’m...
Sort of.… we recently removed the older rooster because he was trying to mate with the younger hens, and we didn’t want him to kill them (We lost most of our flock to a dog attack and Purchased some more chicks back in October) So he’s been an indoor rooster for the last 2 weeks. but they were...
😂 thank you to everyone. Y’all responded so quickly. Now my next question….. we have close to 40 hens…. That should be plenty for 2 roosters….. right? The two boys should be fine in the same coop….right? Hopefully…. 😆
So a few weeks back, our septic guy came over and he asked my husband “where’d you get the game bird?” My husband asked what he was talking about and the septic guy pointed to one of our chickens and asked where we got the fighting rooster from. Now, we purchased our chicks from a couple...
