Okay!
So, I'm in a program and I'm going to be doing a presentation on Poultry and Egg science!
And I've got to choose from these topics to discuss:
Broiler Chickens
Chicken Breeds vs. Egg Color
Refrigerated eggs vs. Non-refrigerated eggs
Free range vs. Chickens held in houses
My mentor says...
.....SO. Our ewe had a lamb a day ago [its a girl] and I got so excited about the lamb...but then, it hit me. I COULD MILK THE EWE AND MAKE CHEESE AGAIN. So, I'm over here gettin' ahead of myself...then I realize; I GOTTA WAIT FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS BEFORE I CAN DO THAT :barnie:hit
Uh... @Baymule breeds are:
Rhode mixed with buff brahma
A rare black bird from New Zealand
And a bunch of mixes resulting from the above. But a roo from our neighbor jumped the fence so maybe that's the father. I think hes like some kind of huge fancy bird. Dont know.
@Larsen Poultry Ranch We have 5 roos but all are directly related.
However another rooster jumped over onto our property...so maybe the chicks are his? And yes, they are mutts.
Hey @Baymule,
So the chick didn't make it. :hit
But our big ol' brooder just hatched 3 new birds! They are huge in comparison to our other birds we hatched or even the other brooder's chicks! See attached. Any ideas why?
And yes, I will keep asking these questions...there's a reason my name...
hey everyone,
so I just hatched 2 more birds recently...THE FINAL BATCH:fl or so I think.
Anyway,
one of the new babies is sitting on its haunches...what do I do? Or is this normal?
ps. S/he kinda staggers instead of walking. Help!
Hey guys, guess what that chick I was worried about is a-ok!! The other younger one didn't make it. :( But the chick that did is healthy ☺️ Charm is actually acting like a bantam and cleans her...foster silkie family? :) Kept the chicks cooped up for a day. We had a lot of rain and it was cold...
