Wasn't expecting to see a two-year old post resurface! The 25-chick limit is up to each individual TSC manager. My husband worked part time at our TSC last year, and the 25-chick limit was indeed in effect there, while the TSC half an hour away had no limit. Just check which store you're...

Well, I'll take any extras you have left over when you send TheSpoiledChicken her/his eggs!

Awww, man! Don't you just hate it when someone comes out of nowhere to outbid everyone who's been bidding all along? Oh well... I'm afraid this auction has turned too rich for me for just 7 eggs. Maybe next time!

Is it 10 PM yet?

Okay, $33 then!

$30!

Oh, okay, you twisted my arm. I bid $25. Just don't tell the husband!

This morning I went to pick up Cutie, one of our OEG girls. Instead of hopping into my hand, like she usually does, she hunkered down and presented herself! This is our first year for OEGs and I have no idea at what age they reach point of lay. I've tried researching this on Google and got...

That's what I thought, too -- N (Nigel) and L (Lou) as roos, W (Winifred) and M (Miss Terry) as pullets. But then what is going on with Nigel and Lou, that their backs are feather-bare, as if someone was treading their backs? They're in only with females, W, M, and 6 SLW pullets. Is it possible...

This quartet of Columbian Wyandottes hatched on March 11. I ordered one boy and two girls, and I got an extra roo as a bonus chick. For the life of me I cannot tell which are the boys and which are the girls. Two of them have the pointy hackle feathers that would indicate that they are boys, but...

Poor thing! I'd deal with the eggs first, because once you Blu-Kote his skin those darned egg casings will blend right in. I agree that it looks like those are lice casings more than mites, but ... well, that's all I'll say because it's Friday the 13th and I don't want to jinx myself! I wouldn't...

I have two EE roos that need new homes. I bought these and several other chicks from TSC as straight runs; they were hatched on March 1 and came home on March 3. They've been raised with a great deal of love inside our house. In my office, in fact. They are used to being held and cuddled, they...

Thank you... I'd forgotten about that.

I have to re-home two of my beloved 8-week-old EE chicks, Blaziken and Barbra. It turns out that they are both roos, and we already have 2 EE roos (and only 5 EE girls). I've raised these chicks from day one, and I've trained them to hand feed, to come when they see me, and they also love being...

Thanks for your help, everyone. I've had my little cry and have spoken to my husband, and we will be selling Blaziken and Barbra. Eggbert is our 7 year old's chick and he'd be heartbroken to lose him, so we'll keep him. I'm very sad -- I raised them all from day-old chicks, th come when thy see...
