I kept three hens in my neighborhood for several years. No HOA, and both of my neighbors thought they were pretty cool. The neighbors over the back fence simply made it clear that if they ever went over the fence, they'd be happy to dress and eat them. (the birds had clipped wings 100% of the...

Shelleyd--just wanted to let you know I only had two eggs not hatch. I'll give 'em another day or two, but I just have a feeling!! And, durn durn! I want therealsilkiechick's silkie eggs SO BAD!! But, as I've already discovered, now is NOT the time to be trying to incubate eggs!!! *siiiiigh*...

Shelleyd2008--A big thank you! I posted you feedback on the feedback thread, but will put some of it here, too, b/c I'd say that what these li'l chickies went through was just plain ol' amazing!!! =0 ) .....sent 12+ button quail eggs (I received 15) one was cracked, but they were beautifully...

Congrats on your new babies! I have three chihuahua's, and all are darlings. My first is six, and has been with me since she was 12 weeks old, show quality dog (was going to show but changed my mind) cost a couple thousand dollars, both parents had lots of the medical tests, etc. that they...

I am a city slicker, but was raised with SO many animals, and have worked with them since. The lack of common sense when faced with animals is amazing to me, sometimes. Like, the sheer number of people who told me I'd get salmonella poisoning and die, b/c of my job working with animals...if...

good to know they're nice. Thanks!!

Check craigslist for San Antonio and/of Austin...there is a guy posting that he had D'uccle chicks from SQ parents. I talked briefly with him and he expressed interest in selling me hatching eggs when I'm interested in them. Seemed nice and like he had lots of breeds. Worth checking into.

I wish I could participate, but due to the fact that ha desired the ability to move around in our spare room, AND park a car in the garage, my husband made me get rid of most of my books and bought me a kindle. With what I made on the books, though, I was able to buy over 180 new ones for said...

Check craigslist. I'm moving to that area soon and have been looking to see what's close and there are lots on there. My favorite laying breed is buff orpingtons. I had some when my daughter was 1 and they were actually really good with her, would even let her pet them. (she's always been so...

I'm sure I will... I'm coming from Dallas. I'm hating the process of trying to sell a house and then but a house/find a house to rent that meets our budget and needs. What makes it worse is my husband was given the offer a week a go and has to start in five weeks. So, I'll be trying to keep my 2...

Darn!! That's, like, three weeks before I move to San Antonio, and while I'm still trying to sell this house (so I can't have chickens here). Bummer! Oh well....next year the timing should work out better!!! husband *had* to get a new job right during chick season!! Oh well...at least houses...

My TSC gets about 10 baby rabbits 2 weeks before Easter and that's it for live animals. And none of our other feed stores carry anything more exotic than RIR, BR, ameracauna, and production hens. BOOORING!!!!! But I'm moving soon so maybe it'll be better there.....

The very first hatch I did, I made a horrible, uninformed decision, and part way through day 21, opened all the eggs that hadn't hatched (which was most...I messed up the humidity a little) from the big end. Crazily, of the 8 eggs out of 12 that hadn't yet hatched, 5 of them had living babies...

I came home one day to find my ameracauna hen sitting on the top of my 6' privacy fence...since the neighbors I shared the fence with are fine with my chickens unless they end up in their yard (in which case, they will catch them and give them away--hey, at least I was forewarned), I clipped...

shelleyd2008 just wanted to let you know I got the button quail eggs the other day...packed beautifully! They all looked so cute in their little tissue and priority mail padded jackets! (Is it pathetic that I think eggs look cute?) Anyway, they have been set, and now I'm excitedly anticipating...

Interesting... My first and only gator has an auto turner. I never thought my somewhat low hatch rates (never more than 60%) might be related to that, always thought I was just doing something imperfect combined with the fact that I've only ever hatched shipped eggs. Maybe I need to try hand...

Quote: Type "TMS" into the for sale search on Craigslist for Dallas. There is someone in Justin (just outside of Denton) who has buff Orpington RIR straight run mutt ameracauna and a few others for sale. I think she usually has eggs, chicks, and started chicks for sale at good prices. I can...

Haha...thanks! I promise, I don't intend to cause confusion--it just seems to follow me around!! And, I have enough cages to clean, w/out adding other ppl's!! haha....the key is to figure out how to conceal a lot of them while showing the house....not so much easy with birds!! Snakes can live...

Quote: Ergh!! haha...I lost track of time while cleaning my parrot's cage...oh well! Probably don't need hatchling chicks around while trying to sell my house, anyway. =0 ) (Like that's gonna stop me!!) Something came up and rbamterry's eggs won't go out till next week, the 6th ish, so these...
