I was wondering if you guys still used the chat thread. I sent chick among us a message buy I though I'd put it on here too, I had more hens go broody so I couldn't get her eggs out, I was getting 3-4 wheaten eggs a day but all of a sudden they decided they wanted chicks! Its been inthe high 60s...
I've been reading/stalking the swap thread and those super blue layers was something I was considering doing with a Wheaton roo and 2 leghorns that I'd gotten fron a feed store. What do they look like, all white? Got any pics?
Hi everybody! Ya miss me! How many of those LF chicken saddles do you have, I need to go out and count the girls that are bare, but i'm thinking I might need more than 6 at least. I was starting to look for some and i thought to myself "I haven't swapped in forever, lets see if someone has...
Hi Everybody! Thought I'd drop by since its my day off and I can read everything at my leisure, instead of huddled over my cell phone in the break room, that and i can post photos now.
Heres a picture of some of the eggs that I'm getting from the pullets that I hatched out from Beth and...
I bought them locally, I had a little banty hatch by itself (that happens too me too much) so it needed company and I found someone selling them for 4 bucks each just outside of town. one only has 9 toes, the other has a little pink on the toes. About a month ago I bought a full grown silkie...
idk whats going on here, but here are some pictures of chicks!
these are the 2 chicks from michelle's eggs. The black feels like he lost a little weight but as you can see he is still huge, I should have stood him next to the silkies that are about 3-4 weeks older.
Here are the...
I'll take some in the morning. I haven't taken pics yet because they didn't I had one develop an weeping eye a couple of days I brought it home, had me a little freaked. It was only an eye thing, 3-4 days of eye drops and antibiotic ointment and its starting to clear up.
oh, I had a few growing out like that, I was a rooster magnet. Michelle, final count was 2, the huge black looks like its going to be barred, its got big feet but i'm hoping for a pullet. She has dark legs and her head spot isn't uniform, its a good way to sex barred rocks not sure if it'll...
I hope they do! I got home to a little yellow chick and the biggest black chick i've ever seen, it looks as big as some 4 week old silkies i picked up.
HI GUYS! you miss me? I've been working so i haven't had time to post in a while, I realized I forgot to give update on the eggs I got. I have 3 in lockdown from michelle's ee and none of the eggs from nat made it, I guess after having spent a week with the post office they were just too far...
for you too! Do you get alot of black outs? I had gone 10 years without a blackout then as soon as I start incubating *BAM* didn't help that i'd jusst put 2 week old chicks outside in a brooder. It was tons of fun, good luck!
too bad you don't have a large asian community where you're at, silkies are some sort of delicacy to them. I've gone into an asian super market and seen them for $10, just plucked and gutted, they still had the head and feet.
OH GOOD! I was hoping for some silkies and my sister has a wyandotte that she loves, its silver, but maybe she will like these too! They all got here in good condition, so lets

got my eggs from Sonew today, the were a little cold so i'm letting them warm up a little before I toss them in, it turns out we got a cold snap pop in last night, got into the upper 20s overnight. Everyone around here goes crazy when it goes below freezing, the oranges...why didn't they pick...
