Chickens always look miserable when molting. Mine started looking miserable a couple of weeks ago. They are starting to look better now.

You'd think nature would have found a better way for them to replenish feathers by now. I guess nature believes in "no pain, no gain." Haha

I have had Welsumers for the past 4 years. I agree with the loudness, mine are louder than your's seem to be. They complain VERY loudly when they want something. Also, the past 4 years my hens lay from mid March until they molt which is around late September, October. They are VERY friendly with me, not so much with each other. They will follow me anywhere.

My husband bought me some new chicks…one a silver laced Wyandotte, but he’s a rooster! Beautiful, but he’s mean! He’s got all my girls tore up. I separated him this evening. I have to find him a new home. He’s bit me twice….this is the pretty little chick that use to sit on my shoulder and jump in my lap every time 😢

Great video! I also was able to salvage materials…..tin roofing, entry door, old window, etc…..lumber yards also pile “ seconds” or cull lumber every once in a while during the year….if you frequently visit to see what they have you’ll get it half price. I got all my pressure treated lumber that way including 4x4 posts, 2x 4 and 2x 6s. Some lumber stores will have a discount day for seniors so you can go grab gramma and get 10-15 % off regular priced items like hardware, wood, screws, hardware cloth …..really most of their stock. Salvaging is fun! Re -store second hand building supply stores are also a great option…..never know what you’ll find! Thanks again for another great video 😊🐓🌞🇨🇦

@sacredlysimple She's still broody. We remove her three-four times a day so she will eat, drink, and get some exercise. It doesn't last long, and she goes right back to the nesting box. I will have to lock her in a dog crate for a few days. I hate to do this because it's mean, but she's getting weak and needs to stop this behavior

Thanks for sharing the review. Just got two in our newest batch of chicks from a breeder, and we "lucked out" with one actually being a rooster. So far the rooster from year past, a massive Bielefelder seems to pay him no mind and has his own flock, so it's good to know we will have some small alert system with muscle to back it up lol. Seriously though also in the Midwest it is tough finding a breed that can handle the extremes on both ends, but we're choosing more heat tolerant moving forwards as frostbite has been somewhat manageable but heat stroke is unforgiving.

Great info and channel....where do you purchase your chicks from? I just subscribed. The reason that I was asking is because many people say that Rhode Island Reds are very mean and others say they are quite friendly. Thanks.
@sacredlysimple4 ай бұрын
Thank you! We got ours from a local supplier. Honestly, our RIRs are friendly enough with people. I'd put them as middle of the road. They tolerate us and they aren't mean. However, one of our Reds does like to assert her dominance over our Easter Egger. She isn't overly aggressive but she will chase her off and give her a peck here and there. But it doesn't go beyond normal pecking order dynamics. Our Wyandotte is the queen of the coop but if she goes first I imagine that particular Red will take over being in charge.
@kl19584 ай бұрын
@@sacredlysimple Ok...sounds great. Murray Macmurray comments from their customers give the Rhode island reds 4.5-4.8 stars out of 5. Their customers state they are extremely nice and friendly...even the roosters. Other customers from other hatcheries state they are quite mean. I have been around Reds and I never thought they were mean at all. Thanks for the info.
