Quote: Yay, my BW girls from Jeremy also started laying this week. They're 27 weeks old. And the eggs are adorable! Hey Renee! How is life down South? I'd love to see pictures of your birds, too. Is that Wickham in your avatar picture? 27 weeks sounds about right for POL. I've still got...

Quote: Renee, thank you for the picture update! I would love to see your other babies. It sounds like Wickham is going through normal adolescent hormonal behavior... he's going to try and be all over everything for awhile, like Chooklet mentioned, he should calm down though and get the hang...

Dang, I definitely don't want to witness that. Face smashed into the dirt!?

Quote: I call this the "Fraternity Boy" phase. Just be glad they don't have access to beer and togas! Most of my boys move past this phase once they get the hang of it, and the girls get used to the concept. The once that stay overly ornery (or is it "hornery"?) don't get to stay in my...

Hey Jeremy, Your chicks are doing great. They just turned 20 weeks, and Wickham, the alpha, started crowing last week. His hormones have definitely started acting up. Just yesterday, I saw him trying to mount one the BW pullets, and she didn't like it at all, and really stood up to him...

Jeremy, Yes, I love the blue and red contrast on Willoughby. Thanks for asking about Bridget. She just seems to be my problem child. Everything seems to happen to HER. She is currently going through a bout of the dry form of avian pox. No other symptoms besides the scabs. And it should be...

Hey Jeremy, I thought you'd like to see some pics of your babies. They're 13 weeks old now. Wickham (the black one), Marianne, Willoughby and Lizzie. What are the technical color terms for the boys? Willoughby is the one who was scalped a while back. He has recovered perfectly. Saul...

Jeremy, one of your babies got hurt overnight. Thread here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=6895694#p6895694 Warning, the pic is pretty graphic. He was scalped, probably by Yolanda. I have him separated and am taking care of the wound. I think he'll be fine. BTW...

Jeremy, I just wanted to tell you that your birds are so friendly. Because of the move, I haven't been able to spend any quality time with the babies. But today when I sat in the run for the first time, a couple of them automatically jumped onto my lap. Colonel Brandon even jumped on my...

OH NOOOO!! Yolanda is sleeping in the nest box tonight. I don't want another broody.

Hi Guys! So I'm trying to settle into our new place, but it's been hard because the house is filthy and we don't have our furniture yet. Plus my husband has been away for a conference. My chicken setup isn't ideal either. Though my BIL built us a great coop, especially for a first-time...

Just had a big scare. I'm in the middle of packing and just happened to look out the window (as I do frequently to make sure the babies are ok) and I see a hawk divebomb my flock. I see brown wings hover for just a moment and hear my Bridget let out a blood-curdling scream. A cloud of white...

Quote: Hi there! Large luxury condo, eh? I hope you post pictures!

Baby stink eye.

Hi Guys, I just started a thread about my broody and how even though it's been almost 3 weeks since she hatched her chicks, she still isn't in optimal health yet. If you have time, could you read it and share your thoughts? Thanks...

I think I'll be getting some Niteguards too! Apparently, the area we are moving to has a major coyote population. The only thing I've had to worry about here in Berkeley are cats.

Quote: Oh Steffanie, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I'm sure they'll be fine. Give us an update in the morning.

Quote: I'll definitely check back with you. I've seen pics of adolescent ones hatched from your eggs, so I should hopefully be able to tell on my own.
