Thank you for posting this question. I have been looking for answers on here for the same question and was just about to post the question. My pullets are also 2 1/2 months and they are all losing some feathers but 3 of my Barnevelders are losing a lot of feathers just above the tail...
Hi! I am newbie to the chicken world. I have 3 BO's, 3 Barred Rock and 5 Barnevelders. They are 3 1/2 weeks old. Here's a picture of most of the brood. Will try to post a cute video later.
Thank you for this. It is a bit nerve wracking being a newby. They are flourishing but I certainly do not want to cause ANY harm to them. And there will definitely be more chicks in the future! :love
Hi. I'm new to all this. My chicks are 3 /12 weeks hold. I have been adding electrolytes to the water since they arrived. How long should they continue on that? Or is it no longer necessary? :confused: Thanks!!
Hi! I live in Winchester/Frederick County, VA, about 25 minutes SW of Martinsburg. Our climate is pretty much what you are experiencing in MD. Very inconsistent here as well!
They are! One of my Barred Rock chicks is always over eager when I open the brooder cover and attempted to fly up to me. Thankfully the brooder is deep but not for long I'm afraid! Will post pics soon!
