Hey y'all, been away for a while and long story short over the last year we have lost all of our small flock. We bought some hens in TN a few months ago, but they all became escape artist. So we only have one little girl left. Does anyone in the Cullman area have any for sale? We had Amercaunas...
Dumb question. Can chickens catch child or have allergies? I have a girl who went broody after get fellow was killed (she was pretty sad right before she went broody) and was doing all the normal broody behavior until today. All of a sudden she almost acts like she has a cold or allergies...
Got this beautiful guy who needs a new home. Not sure what breed he is (he hatched with my Doms), but he is super well tempered and NOT noisy at all. I've never heard him crow, but my son has a few times. We just have too many roos for our hens and would love to see him go to a good loving home...
We started with hatching eggs I had shipped in, that's where my Doms and my multi-colored roo came from, then I bought 6 Amercaunas as week olds. It's been fun but lots of work with the little ones, thankfully I don't work so I was home with them. There is about a month difference in age between...
That's how it was with our little guy, didn't know till it was too late and it doesn't seem to bother him so we will probably just leave well enough alone.
Our Dominique roo has toes like that!!!! So we named him Toes....lol. Doesn't seem to bother him much either. My hubby saw in his "research" one day that if we had splinted it straight when he first hatched it would have straightened it out.
Chicken math has finally hit my hubby...lol. He has decided that we need another, or maybe 2, Amercaunia hen to "replace" (we all know we came replace our special babies) our little Blue girl we lost a few weeks ago. One of our roos has gotten very lonely since she's been gone. So if anyone...
We had ants take over our clothes lines, and even some clothes that had to be out there for a few days due to rain. The clothes went in a black trash bag to "bake" and the poles and lines got a good dose of commercial bug killer. Our yard hasn't been as bad this year as it has the past few...
Told hubby about our little Blue girl. He's at work so is in TN, but was really upset. Started talking about how we should have had a safe secure place for them before we hatched them and so forth. I reminded him that they are safe in a general aspect, if the neighbor would keep their dog at...
We do have a good relationship, and she is just as upset as we are about the loss of your babies. She has offered to replace our chickens, and we have refused knowing that the dog in general is just a big baby. Our coop is dog proof, but we intended it for when we were not home (I know not...
Raz, congrats on your baby boy, he is too cute!!!!! Tomtom, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I hope y'all are doing ok and that things are calming down some.
On a sadder note, neighbors dog got another one of my babies today. I hate to stir up things, but if they don't keep him on their...
Fred update....
He is doing much better today!!!! Eyes look clear and he is up and walking more. Hubby did some research online and decided to give him St. John's Wart, figured if it didn't help it wouldn't hurt. He is also on antibiotic water. I fixed him a boiled egg this morning and he loved...
