My ducks are laying more eggs than my 20 plus pullets! I am sure the younger group is of laying age but no red combs etc. Everyone except maybe one or two girls are light red or pink.
I have 4 female ducks btw. I get 1 or 2 chicken eggs a day. Also lost 2 layers lately. Dolly (I'm still sad)...
I have around 25 pullets (probably more), and I am getting ZERO eggs now. Last week, it was 4. Even the ducks aren't laying. Though I'm pretty sure it's bc I havent found their new nest. Maybe.
Either way, my girls aren't laying. About 10 of them are 11 months old, a bunch are about 10 months...
I plan to move Atropos tonight into the brooder with the babies as the back half is being used for quarantine. Two of my roosters have fowl pox pretty bad. (Kithara and Lucky)
The brooder is full ish though. It is holding 11 babies. I could've swore I had 12, but I didn't see a baby body.
Will...
I will have to figure something out for the chickens that like being inside. Everyone else sleeps on top. They don't like the inside. Lol. I can't get em to go inside.
Atropos is a broody hen who is brooding next door to where Dolly was. She wasn't bothered. Makes me wonder what happened. And my camera outside quit working so of course I have no video. Uuuggghhh.
Chicken wire. But it has an open front not back. We also have 5 ducks and 2 goats which should have helped to deter predators. They've never been bothered before.
My broody hen was murdered last night. She was sitting on about 7 or 8 eggs. She was missing her head and neck, and all of her eggs are gone. What kind of predator can do that? And it tried to get into the brooder and now all my baby chicks and 3 guineas have figured out they can escape and they...
So this is Lucky (a few of you may know him from the November hatchalong I did. His right eye recently has been giving him trouble, and we have used the eye ointment (when we can catch him) to help him out. It looked like it was clearing up. (No more oozing etc. Just a shut eye with minimal...
Yall. The kitten distribution system is faulty. I found 3 kittens in a drawer outside that the feral left behind. Then the mom left one and moved two only to get in a fight with something, and then the black boy cat died. Found the grey kitten cuddled up to it in the woods the next morning. So...
Lol. Dinner is ours. No one wakes up hungry it seems. Weird. Takes everyone around 2 to 3 hours before their hunger arises.
You do?! I never would've known!
