Welcome to all the new folks!

I have decided to sell a few. I have one White Rock(10), 1 Silver laced Wyandotte(12), and one Columbian Wyandotte(10). They are all laying and are not quite a year old. I am in the Arab area.

I had that happen with my Silkie Roo. We let him and our standard sized roo out at the same time by mistake. I saw the standard sized one coming toward the Silkie and I worried about the poor little thing. That "poor little silkie" puffed out his chest and jumped up on the back of the bigger...

There are some things you can do to fix it, but I do not think it is worth it. I would get rid of him before he hurts someone. It would be terrible if he hurt your kids.

How is the little bunny? The biggest thing in its diet should be fresh clean hay and water. Here is some info http://www.petfinder.com/pet-care/rabbit-care/basic-rabbit-care/

I have heard of folks using sea weed. We have cut the grass here (north AL) and threw it in right after cutting it. The hens love it.

Have you tried the Farmer's co-op in your area? I know the one here will get special orders, but only if you ask.

At least we saw some sun today.:)

I am selling 5 Welsh Harlequin ducks. There is one male and 4 female ones. They are 4 weeks are and adorable. I am in the Marshall county area.

The coloring also looks different. I would 1st is a roo.

I have used it to tell the difference. It is easiest when they are about 1-2 days old, Also, with some breeds, like Sebrights, it does not seem to work. It is also a bit harder when checking birds that are different breeds in a flock. I think it works best when you are comparing all of the...

I hope they hatch. baby ducks are so cute. We got some Welsh Harlequins in. They are about a week old. They are a LOT of fun.

Just a suggestion... I used to think each chicken needed a nest box. We now have 15 chickens, they use one nest box, and sometimes a 2nd nest box. As silly as it sounds, they will usually wait to use the same one. Or, sometimes, 2 birds will sit in that one. I think with 20 chickens, more than...

Hanners might have some. They have chicks in the store, but they also have grown birds sometimes. They are a Mom and Pop Feed store in Scant city close to Guntersville. Last time I was in they had chicks and some Pekin ducks. They also had a LOT of Quail. Their phone is 256-753-0061.

I used to worry about this too. When you get your chicks, just be careful where you buy them from. Many of the hatcheries test the birds. Also, if their area and water is kept clean, I think there is little risk. Most backyard chicken folks here on this forum will take care of them much better...

You might want to look at Henderson's chicken breed chart. it has several breeds listed, and a little about each of them. http://www.ithaca.edu/staff/jhenderson/chooks/chooks.html For Ameraucana's from Ideal , they are here...

Wow..I thought we were the only ones who keep trying for a better coop. Quote:

Congratulations! That is a really big egg for the 1st one. Ours usually had much smaller ones at 1st. Quote:
