Thank you. I have a friend who sells chickens at First Monday in Canton, TX. I mentioned once I’d like a turkey and he called me Thursday to say he had one for me. I had no idea what a bourbon red turkey looked like but he really is pretty. My chickens just stare at him like “Wow. What are you?”
I have 4 cats that have been dumped near our farm in the last few months. None of them ever bother my free range chickens. One did look at the chickens once probably wondering what they were 😜
So far my new BR’s won’t come out from under the coop. Maybe they’re still stressed from being sold. I can’t even get a picture of them yet. I’ll keep you posted.
One of my LO has different looking feathers. They look almost lacey or something. My others look like Hattie. They are so quiet and laid back. I just got 3 Barred Rock hens yesterday so I’m looking forward to seeing their personalities. Will be getting 7 Easter Eggers and 6 guineas in a few...
That’s what I thought but was talking to a chicken enthusiast today and he told me the colors can vary. Maybe he meant one EE might lay blue eggs and another pink eggs but that’s not what he said. Thanks for the response.
The chicken with the eye problem does act like he’s coughing or maybe sneezing but I haven’t captured him yet so I’m not sure about drainage. It looks like maybe it’s just swollen shut but that seems weird. I can’t see the eye at all. It does eat/drink. I gave the wry neck one some tuna and...
I don't see any bubbles, foam, pus or crusty drainage. I got all the chickens at the same time from the same place. All heads/necks were normal 2 weeks ago when I got them. Hopefully these new pics are better, if not I'll get my hubby to help me next time. I do appreciate your help.
Greetings Everyone,
I need some advice about 2 of my chickens. They are about 4-1/2 months old. I live near Emory, Texas. One lavender orphington seems to have a closed, swollen left eye (Pic 2) and the other one looks like the head/neck and even right side upper body are all out of alignment...
Our neighbor recently got a new coop & let us borrow her chicken tractor. We put it inside a dog run & covered the top of the run so no predators can swoop in. I’m not sure how to upload pics yet. I’ll work on it.
I’m on an iPhone.
I just got 12 Lavender Orpingtons on Thursday. 10 are 4 mos old & 2 are 2 mos. I’m pretty excited about it. Still trying to make sure I’m everything they need
