Thank you very much- I've been searching for someone who can deal with poultry as well as our other furry friends

Anyone know of a mobile vet that handles livestock such as Chickens in the Snohomish area?

I'm looking for Show Quality Black and White Standard Cochins as well as Bantam Black Cochin chicks to be shipped to Washington State or local - possible certificate of quality included stating that yes they are from top lines

Im looking for some Show Quality LAV Orpington chicks or someone planning hatches Feb / March fairly local to Marysville- I know LAV's don't have a "exact" show quality yet, but close to it or English version- we're looking for higher quality bird than Hatchery chicks - Would also like to find...

We had hatched 3 cochin/frizzles that are now 8 weeks old- the coloring changed a lot from what we were expecting any thoughts Parents- Babies- The 2 frizzles are like this one with the lacing- which neither parent has- daddy is red and momma is all black 3rd baby cochin we thought was...

Welcome!

I wish our odds had been 4/15 roosters - lol One hatch we had 7/11 roosters. Thought maybe depends on beginning to end of season maybe

Pm'd back

She's a very pretty bird- sad how some people could be cruel like that and chickens to other chickens- our lil curly Sue grew up with the first bunch that attempted to kill her and yet they still did so- after she healed we tried putting her with her own kind think maybe that was the problem -...

I say pullet all 3 - but #2 is hard to tell being its in a dark spot - my opinion

Some I've read say wait until a yr old before hatching- we did that - I think we had done a couple who weren't a year yet but were laying standard eggs for their breed and they came out fine- guess it's up to you on when you feel comfortable doing it -

I'd give them time - if they just started laying they are still growing in the egg laying department- I wouldn't advise trying to hatch any yet for sure tho -

It does take a while before eggs are actual size- some of ours started at the end of July and they still are laying small eggs- once in while someone will lay the proper size then go back to laying small- it also depends on breed I think- hard to say on exact time tho each is different 2 months...

We haven't eatin our chickens- the ones in question are small bantams not much to eat- we were thinking maybe his seed is strong lol- my mother seems to think not a roo- but we've hatched and I've had to deal with enough chicks that the first start of red/pink has always come out roo compared to...

We had hatched a couple chicks with broody hens - when I went in to check on chicks yesterday I noticed the famous red comb appearing on 1 chick "sniffle" - In all honesty it's hard to decide what to do at this point - our boy already had produced 3 Roos to 1 hen in a batch and we still have to...
