Hello! :D

Howdy folks! I haven't been on much (it's been crazy). Important question: does anyone here do bantams? I have a pair or trio of silver Sebrights, a pair of gold Sebrights, a pair of black & crele OEGBs, and some mismatched pairs/trios of banties. I love them, but I'm really trying to steer...

Sorry for the long post, I just figured I'd preempt things I've already covered :/

Hey all, I'm really behind in life in general, and this forum specifically, but I have a problem and I really am hoping for some help... Last night, two of my geese and six of my ducks did not come inside. I was away most of the day yesterday. I assumed that they were outside somewhere (which...

Turkeys are leggier and have pointier beaks. Their heads are kind of... rounder. It helps that they only offer a few varieties so if you suspect that you have a turkey, it's easy to compare yours to the possible poults they might have sent. Do you think you have one? I'm sure folks could tell...

Have you looked at Cackle? They offer Anconas. If you pay through the nose you can get a small order, too.

I don't know what #1 is, but I've got one too. 2 looks like a barred rock but I can't tell for sure. 3 is possibly an RIR? 4th one is a Fayoumi. 7 looks like a black cochin. 8 is a Polish, isn't it? It looks like it has a topknot. If so, silver laced. I was feeling pretty awful about my...

I'm loving everybody's pictures! I got a shipment of 45 chicks this weekend, but the PO lost them for a while day. 14 have died :( so I canceled my future turkey order. On the brightish side I guess this means I can pick up chicks locally instead. Last night I tried to bring in the poults from...

@Liddy -- agreed! There were lots of numbers on the package, and I alerted the PO about the chicks weeks ago (I have some ducklings shipping tomorrow from Metzer's and a preorder with Holderreads, so I have made sure they know how to reach me even if the package doesn't say!). I spoke to three...

Thanks guys :) I did add some supplements and I'm dosing the weakest ones directly. Some of them don't seem well enough to move between food, water, and heat, but a few have perked up, and the rest seem perfectly happy. I did call Cackle and they said to call back Monday and let them know how...

The post office lost track of my shipment for a little more than two days. I just got it yesterday, and I keep losing birds :( I know it's not Cackle's fault, since three days in the mail is too much for the little guys, but I'm thinking of canceling my other order with them. I'm doing what I...

Same, and mine hasn't been scanned since it left MO. The post office couldn't even tell me where it is :/

Well, a bunch of my duck eggs quit but a few are going strong, and I'll know about about the chicks on Monday. Today my turkey hen disappeared, and I finally found the nest she's been hiding with her in it :D so now I'll have some of everything! Good luck with your hatches and your waffles...

Mine's in the mail, too. Hooray!

How did it go?
