Hello...I am not far from Gloucester. I'm looking for D'Anver chicks, hatching eggs, or young pullets of any variety. I would love to know if you have any available, or will in the near future. Thanks!

We had lice last year on our babies...once we had killed the lice off treating with ivermectin (orally), the nits stuck to the fur until they wore off or the fur was replaced. They are super-glued I think. I tried everything to scrub them off to no avail. Also, I had been told that if they...

Wow!!! He IS gorgeous!!!

You guessed it...she's my daughter's favorite. Do you have a pic of your partridge boy? I would love to see him!

My daughter raised these chicks from an experimental breeding last Summer between a white sport (from a bbs line) and her best splash cockerel. They resembled partridge as chicks, but are they truly partridge or are they just "mixed"? We've never raised partridge, so I don't have a clue...

Anyone figured this out? A second batch, everything just the way I've done with all of my good hatches, yielded several more of these bare-backed chicks. Humidity at hatching was high enough - they're not sticking, they're just not developing the fluff in the first place. I keep googling but...

Interesting. The first batch - let's see...there were about 36 chicks I think. About a third of those were black or lav. split and then 3 were lav. The only chick that was nakey was the last lav to hatch and it came about 24 hrs after the first. Humidity around 47% most of the time as...

Last batch of Ams from our lav. split pen hatched one lav. with very little fluff on it's back. It has sort of a bare shaped U and little on the back of it's legs. This hatch, I see two black that look similar. Google searches have come up with one study on the barred gene that can cause...

Def. white leghorn going on there. Some of them look like white leghorn/red sexlink(tons of names for these - Tetra Amber, Amberlinks, Red production) and some look like white leghorn/black sexlink crosses. I think that's what you're looking at here. This would explain the size, production...

Did you get the humidity down? Humidity depends on the surface area of the water, so covering part of the water tray with foil (won't affect temp) works great.

Thanks. I didn't plan to cross any of our birds carrying lav. with our bbs. I guess we'll see how it goes.

Ugh! We've lost our blue Am. roo so I'm wondering if I would be compromising the genetics or color of my bbs by using my black split/lav. roo. If I do not breed the resulting pullets back to the roo, won't the lav. genes just disappear down the line?

I think the OP is talking about a brooder for chicks, the first reply is in regards to an incubator. For a plastic bin, you can use a 125 if it's pretty far from the floor of the brooder and the top is off. A 100 will work too, just a little closer to the brooder. We start with 125, then...
