They're finally here! My first eggs! And two in one day! I almost missed them when I was gathering eggs tonight. My girls are the vB line.

I'm a little behind on my reading... wow, so much going on! My condolences too to Farmer Johna's family... I am new to the breed, but I can definitely appreciate all he has done. A loss too with Christina retiring. Best wishes for your father TLS. If my girls EVER lay an egg (the EE pullet...

I GOT A SQUAT TODAY!!!!!!!!!! I know I still have a while to wait for eggs, espescially as combs are still pretty pink, but I was so excited to see one of the girls squatting! They are about 4 1/2 mos. old and they are just SO beautiful... They have that green shine even when the sun isn't...

I've kept my golf balls that I put in there initially in the nesting boxes. Tried to take them out, but then I moved the nest box and everybody got confused. Avery now and again one is in a random place, as if it took them by surprise lol! I also got some 'fake eggs' recently... idk what they...

I FINALLY have some good pics of my young ones! The stars aligned for decent weather, I had a camera with me, and they grew out of their latest awkward stage. They are about 3 1/2 mos old. Please let me know what you guys think And a closer pic of Darcy...

Quote: for pullets:) I wonder why your girl stopped . I'm getting about 6-7 eggs per day from my barnie pen. The "old" ladies aren't laying yet, but I think all of the barnie pullets are now laying. A few of the cornevelders are the only pullets still holding out on me, but again I just got a...

Quote: How's things going Willow? Well Padme's still not using her legs but she has a great appetite and is drinking well and she's 'talking' to me quite a bit, so I'm still waiting. I'm trying the Poly-vi-sol and I've dewormed her, so maybe I'll see some changes in a couple days? I still...

No improvement yet.... but thanks for your advice everybody, I really appreciate it.

Hmm, not that one. I had considered mycotoxins but not botulism. Thanks off to do some more reading!

Thanks pinkchick.... I was hoping to avoid some zealot just telling me straight off that I should cull. I've done several searches on this site and found a lot of good treatment info. I was just hoping some wise been there done that kind of people had some advice to make my decision easier...

I'm hoping you guys here could give me some advice... this isn't a Barnie question (mine are still busy growing) so I apologize, but I know you guys here are level headed and also understand the value of a single bird in a small flock, especially when that bird is a bit more expensive to...

Thank you for the help everyone! Thankfully, my BCM's are laying, so I at least have SOME eggs to look forward to... but it is quite daunting to realize I still have to wait another four months!

Yay! Congrats Aubrey! Of my 6 hatchlings, I have one cockerel. He (and they) are just about 8 weeks old. Could anybody offer any advice on how he's looking? Or is it too early to tell much yet? When will I be able to tell is he's going to have the 'tail fluff'? I'm sorry if all these...

Really?! All pullets? Wow! Don't people end up with more cockerels than they want? I hope I get one rooster... oh well, just means I'll have to get more eggs Unless someone needs to give a roo a home! Thanks!

I just had to share some pics of my five week old Barnies!!! I think they are adorable... I have no idea on sex yet and if anybody has any critiques, I welcome them They are only cell phone pics and it was an overcast day. I am very sorry, but I just cannot get this picture to...

Thank you! I am having a ton of fun watching them grow... it's my first time having chicks!

Wow! The blue girls are beautiful! (and boys too of course!) I can't wait to see more pics! In the meantime, I just have to share this stinkeye from one of my little five day old chicks!

My new chicks are home! I guess I still haven't posted enough times on here to post actual pictures, so the link to my facebook album will have to suffice. Out of seven that made it to lockdown, six hatched. Plus there's an Easter Egger in there that I bought to replace two of our older...
