Head Rooster at Whispering Wind Microfarm Poultry & Rabbitry

Is there anything I can do to treat this chick? Outside of going to a vet I am willing to invest hours and effort, I can build slings, hobbles, trusses, I just need to know how to treat the issue. (Copied from a post in a poultry group on FB) I posted about a splay legged chick I had and since...

These are all some amazing ideas, I will definitely be better prepared for next winter.

Looking for gosselings or hatching eggs of red breasted geese. Anyone have any or info on any?

Looking for breeders of White Cornish large, a heritage long growth bird. Heavy legged and full breasted. Anyone know of any breeders? I'd like to invest in some hatching eggs.

Anyone have a line on breeders and reliable sources for chicks or hatching eggs? I have a breeder close to me who will be selling a starter breeding flock in spring, but I'd like to put less of an investment into a breed before I decide if I want to go forward with breeding and keeping them.

Hello fellow Wyandotte lovers, This is my first year as chicken farmer, I started out wanting just some dual purpose birds for eggs and a better quality meat and I bought a straight run of SLW's from Meyer Hatchery, I fell absolutely in love with the breed, their look their attitude and...

That's what I was afraid of, good rooster though, I need to find a solid wyandotte breeder and get some good foundational birds.

lol another strain of Wyandotte I never knew existed, how many colors and patterns does this breed have? I love the breed though, awesome birds, even if my girls are nearly 6 months and yet to give me an egg (I blame the heat, a summer molt and the stress of moving into a new coop with new birds)

This is my rooster Rex, when I bought him I was told he was a blue laced red wyandotte, well, he's obviously not that, I've been told he's a black laced red and another person said they think he's a gold laced rooster. I'm leaning towards black laced wyandotte but he does have golden lacing...

Awesome they look so so ****** cute.

They do look gorgeous, I'm considering breeding them to get into showing birds. If you ever want to sell me some hatching eggs I'd be more than happy to snap a dozen up from you, and pay for the packing and shipping :D.

I am seriously considering investing in this breed, I wish Greenfire sold hatching eggs. They look stunning, are supposed to have a sweet and submissive disposition and are a very good table bird, along with fair egg production. Keep in touch, if I do invest we can swap notes.

If any of you breed these gorgeous birds or know of a reputable breeder, please drop me a line. I'm looking to add some heritage/unique and rare birds to my collection. Mike Head Rooster in Charge Whispering Wind Farm

I'm wanting to add Augsburgers to my Wyandottes and Bresses, more as a rare heritage breed and their beauty than as a BYC "production" bird, anyone here in this thread have chicks or hatching eggs? Don't need any right now but I'd like to have them by March or so. ~Mike Head Rooster Whispering...
