Hey! I'm looking for some unique breed hatching eggs in middle Tennessee. I'm located in Wilson County. I really love the autosexing breeds and the giant breeds. Thanks in advance!! 😸
I’m so sorry this happened to you. Hard not to get attached to the meaties cause they’re really sweet. But they definitely need to be processed by about 9-10 weeks.
Oh no! That’s terrible. I’m sorry you had an experience like that. I’m lucky to have some great breeders in my immediate area and haven’t had any bad experiences.
Are those from f2 ice. Team bars or direct crosses? Maybe she has an opal legbar cock over isbar hens. Their green fluctuates throughout the laying season much like Marans.
I think she may have meant rehoming her. Although with her age, that might not be an option. I would separate the Roo out personally and drop him back to the bottom of the pecking order. If you know which ones out of your hens are the more easygoing maybe you can put her with one or two for a...
I have never had a problem with standard size birds and frostbite. I did however just acquire a bantam and it got into the teens last night. He now has frostbite. going to be getting a heater for him tomorrow. Everyone else was fine. Even the boys with large single combs. So i guess what I’m...

I agree with your rationale. If you’d really like to diversify maybe get a larger docile heritage breed so that your current girls don’t get picked on and neither do the new ones.
No not my first pullets, but some that have had the reddest combs the youngest. I mean like fire engine, ruby, ripe tomato red. So I freaked a little when they went pale. Like person tongue pale. Probably just the heat after some cooler weather I guess. But I was just kind of thinking maybe they...
These birds are about fourteen weeks. I’ve had them since they were about 4 days old. It’s like one will get a pale comb and then the next day be fine and then another will. This coincided with finding the first pullet egg this year which had to have been them. The reason I noticed is because...
hahahaha. Love that movie so much.
Yeah I think I imagined them and panicked. Then when you think you see a bug, you get all itchy and creepy crawly. Lol.
Now are they getting pale combs cause they’re making their first egg or the heat or what? They are healthy weight so I doubt it’s internal...
