    Gray Call Duck Trio

    Gray Calls - 3 year old Drake and Hen and their 2 year old daughter. Proven breeders with exceptionally high hatch rate. These are my daughter's top picks and all that remains of her flock - school leaves her no time for them anymore. They have shown well including Champion and Reserve Ch...

    We had a small flock of mixed Japanese bantams a while ago but had to rehome them to a friend - we needed their coop for a Flemish Giant rabbit. Those chickens were very much missed so in the spring of 2010 we added a trio of Silkies. My daughters carry the 4-H poultry project, started when my...

    Sussex Thread! Post pics of your sussex!

    Any opinions on my SS? They are 5 months old in these pictures. I absolutely love having them around -- the sweetest chickens. There are 4 pullets and one cockerel. The pullets are just starting to lay.

    Silkie Roo abcess, parasites, tumor???

    Thanks for the replies. These lumps are on his side. His bum looked fine. The only other place that looked grimy was where his crest meets his comb and I scrubbed that pretty well and there was no skin irritation. These two lumps, right next to each other, are very hard and come to almost a...

    Silkie Roo abcess, parasites, tumor???

    Hello - I have a 1 1/2 year old silkie rooster who has been acting lethargic and off-balance for a few weeks. I did notice just a few mites and treated with Ivomec a couple weeks ago. He's also had baby vitamins and poultry drenge, alternating every other day. He is eating and drinking, although...

    Brahma Thread

    I didn't write my chick announcement very well - it was confusing. I was questioning the color of the one Brahma. I picked up the Sussex and Wyandotte chicks to keep the single Brahma company (it is much quieter here now!). These are the breeds that came into my feed store today and I wanted...

    I hatched my first Brahma! The eggs I ordered were mainly Partridge but there were a couple surprise colors thrown in. The other chicks are Speckled Sussex and Silver Laced Wyandottes. Any help identifying the color of this chick? Is this what Partridge look like? She's about a day and a half old.

    Hello All. I set some hatching eggs in the incubator yesterday afternoon. They were shipped last Thursday and arrived yesterday. Several had little yellow bubbles on the underside when I turned them this afternoon. Should these eggs be discarded? Give them another day or two and watch for more...

    Gray Call Duck Drakes in Maryland

    My daughter has 2 Gray Call Duck drakes that need to find new homes. These are 2010 hatches and have been shown and placed well (Mom was Champion Waterfowl at our fair last summer). My daughter has a very small program and with breeding season approaching, the extra boys will demand more room...

    I like that hen! (Nice picture too.) She could make me rethink ordering from Ideal.

    I'll need to review how to reply to individual posts but thanks to Chickenlady08 for your reply about me losing my bantam buff rooster and I'm sorry for your loss of Molly. They're such friendly birds it makes it so hard to lose them. It was a pretty afternoon here so I took some pics of my...

    I lost my Bantam Buff Brahma roo last night. We have no idea what happened to him - found him very quiet yesterday afternoon and by dinner time he was hiding. We set him up in a hutch by himself but he didn't make it through the night. We did a thorough exam on him but found no injury or any...

    Seems like I haven't been on here in a long time and now I have back to back questions. My Bantam Buff Brahma hen (hands down favorite chicken here) has been broody for a few weeks now. She has 9 eggs in one of the nestboxes and sits except for rare trips out to eat and drink (she also has food...

    Thank you all for your replies. I'm happy that his comb is correct. The breeder assured me that the hen would be able to produce correct combs but I would assume that chance would lessen if she were bred to a roo with an incorrect comb. I'm am only planning to breed to add a couple to our flock...
