Okay, my two hens went off to nest a while back and one returned with 8 keets and the other with 16 10 days later. One hen is a lavender, but I'm not sure on the other one. I thought she was a coral blue, but I'm not sure since her feathers appear washed out and she is pretty much 2 tone light...

Does anybody know what color the original bobwhites were that produced the white mutation? The reason I'm askin' is 'cause I've had some odd things poppin' out of my white bob/northern bob crosses. I have a white bob male coverin' 3 (supposedly) pure northern bob hens. I have repeatedly been...

I just bought a couple of yearling blackshoulder hens from a local guy and there were 2 of these there. The owner wasn't sure what they are, and I'm not too sure either. The parent birds are a BS cock and an IB hen. I have no idea of the ancestry of those birds. I don't know much about BS birds...

Up for bid are 8+ Red Golden, or Dark Throat Red Golden pheasant eggs. Both my reds and dark throats are laying well. I can offer either variety or a few of each. Fertility has been checked and these are good to go. This is not a presale and these will ship out Monday. Shipping is 12 bucks to...

What is a fair price for a 2010 hatch Silver Pied cock bird? He is very nicely colored/marked. I have an opportunity to buy one and I'm just wondering what the going rate is for such a bird.

8 plus extras Mille Fleur D'uccle Bantam eggs. Sharp looking birds with great color patterns and small size. Super docile personalities. Great foot feathering and beards. Better than 90% hatch rate here. One of my roos is a very dark mahogany with a lot of black, so you should hatch out at least...

This ad just popped up on my local Craigslist listings. I wonder how long it will be available until someone scoops it up, lol. http://southcoast.craigslist.org/grd/2203421183.html

I have a couple of white cockbirds from an earlier hatching egg endeavor, and I'm currently looking for a few hens, or at the very least, some more hatching eggs. Any help much appreciated.

Up for auction is a new, never used brooder heater system. I'm not sure of the maker since there is no label on it. I bought 5 of these a while back at a swap meet and I'm using the others and have no need for this one. It has 2 ceramic/wire heat elements and two light bulb sockets to accept...

Does anyone out there know the background of the White Bobwhite? Was it a naturally occuring color mutation that was found to breed true? About a year ago I bought some white bob eggs from Ebay, and had only 3 hatch out of 2 dozen. Incubation error was not the cause of a poor hatch since I have...

For my New Years "chicken resolution", I would like to gain some clarity on a subject that has bugging me for quite some time. It is nearly impossible to have any discussion about Marans and their egg color, without someone chiming in with the totally senseless statement "If it doesn't lay a #4...

These are a few pics of my young Bantam RIR's that we plan to show this fall. I started this project about a year and a half ago with a single pair of them. I think I have gotten the color right, and got the combs better. My original roo is beautiful, but he has a funky comb. Do these look like...

I was recently fortunate enough to buy 3 young adult Sebastopols at a livestock auction. Is there any way to determine the sex of them without vent sexing them? Are there any subtle physical differences, or sound or behavior patterns to watch for? I'm new to geese and wouldn't know how to vent...

I'm selling my flock of adult white call ducks to make room for another project. There are 6 of them, 3 drakes and 3 hens. All of them are around a year old but one hen which is this years hatch. They are very nice breeder quality and are proven breeders. They are short and compact and very...

The other day I ran into a pheasant breeder in my area and bought a bunch of pheasant chicks. I got 4 Reeves chicks that are about 6 weeks old. How son can I sex them and what are the differences to lok for? Thanks in advance.

A friend of mine gave me a dozen turkey eggs a few weeks ago. He has a Royal Palm hen running with a Chocolate tom. He never bothered to hatch any for himself and didn't really know if the eggs were fertile. Well, my eggs are starting to hatch today. My question is, what will these mixed birds...

I have a batch of 12 plus eggs that can go out first thing tomorrow morning. The parents are white and partridge hens covered by a white roo and a blue roo. This combo has been producing some decent offspring as shown in the pics. My hatch rates here have been amazing. Post SOLD and pm for...

This is a standard cochin frizzle roo that I hatched out about 6 months ago from shipped eggs. He is huge and stands nearly 2' tall. The breeder that I purchased the eggs from said that they would hatch out BBS, but this guy turned up. Could he be blue wheaten? Even if he didn't turn out to be...

I've been raising a mixed flock of silkies for a couple of years now, and I started with a real mishmash of various unrelated stock. I even bought some of my early stock from livestock auctions. Over time, I just kept strictly culling anything I didn't like, and keeping what I thought was the...
