I've been wondering if I got some polish, but seeing now at 3.5 months they are bigger than my almost 5 month old cemanis and sport legbars, they are about the size of some of my smaller/less fluffy standard size year old ladies (California white, Iowa Blue, cream legbar) so I think polish is...
We purchased some Crèvecœurs from our local farm store who supplies Hoover's chicks.
The bin was filled with black, blue, splash ans white Crèvecœurs (unless RK mislabeled them) and we got one that seemed to be blue with splashes of black and white, and one white one. However, I'm having...
Awesome, thank you so much! I spent a few hours trying to figure out exactly what defines "partridge" is chickens and couldn't find anything, so I gave up and asked here! Thank you so much!
This is such great info thank you so much! Also, I have a few crested standard chickens and never realized about the vaulted skull, but now that I read that I realize their heads are indeed a different shape! That's wild! Thank you so much for all the info!
Love this thread! I have one SGE! She has very strong cream legbar looks, she has a big goofy comb that is folded up like ribon candy, lays just a very light green egg (much closer to blue but definitely a hint of green) was always very skittish, didn't like people much and only really liked...
I have been thinking a lot about eventually starting a bantam flock or just getting a few. While I can absolutely order which bantams I would prefer, I love to look at the mixed bantam bin at the farm store and always fall in love with a few.
I am pretty good at identifying or at least narrowing...
Thank you so much! It's all him- as soon as I hold up my phone he turns so I can see his tail and then poses perfectly! He's been practicing his whole life for this moment! 😂
As times go on I'm starting to think you're right! I haven't been able to find anything else that looks like this guy except a bunch of Phoenix roosters that are identical!
This guy still has a very small body but SUCH LONG FEATHERS, body wise he is still smaller than hens even half his age...
Here's a picture from about a week ago! The mullet is almost gone 😭😭😭 its mostly thick black feathers now! Excited to see what starts sprouting on that head- maybe the mullet will stay 😂😂😅
Sorry I've been building a mini barn every extra moment so I haven't been on here much! Here is an updated pic of the chick- I have had it for about a month now! I'll have to get a new wing pic- it has some white feathers tucked under there but it doesn't much like me touching its wings anymore 😂😅
Sorry I know this is an old thread- did you ever try it?! I am assuming chickens would love them because mine love shiny things, especially since they have the extra comb in their eye that makes things ~trippy~. I'm a big fan of crystals (I own an entire shop of them 😂) and I've read about...
The person commenting on UV lights is correct.
In Colorado the mountains take away at least an hour of sunlight a day and I don't think they get to absorb more for being at a higher elevation.
I think the supplement is the right call here and it will be hard to fix naturally since nature is...
