Hello, I am looking to add 8-12 pullets almost ready to lay, or young laying hens to my flock. I have 10 hens that are slowing down due to age so I am looking to get some young ladies to replace them. well not replace- I will be keeping my old ladies too haha. but to take their place as egg...
I wound up with a bunch of boys too- still have 5 boys that I hope find new homes, as I am rather attached to them by now- they were born in feb and I have been handfeeding the lot of them, i would feel kinds bad about eating them at this point... but I only need so many roosters... i think I...
I currently have button quail, just for fun pets, but I might try picking their eggs
and i just put 50+ new button quail eggs in the incubator (trying to get my breeding pens to have all the colors I like)
AND i also put 30 coturnix quail eggs in the incubator
(and i wont even mention how many...
really, there is no heating of the vinegar ? i assumed it was like making pickles where you heat up the vinegar? do you have to sterilize the jars like when you pickle or can? if not then I am making some asap! sounds delicious!
Haha ya well button quail are... well I tell people they are the most useless bird there is around, but they are super cute so I keep them lol. In reality though you can hard boil their eggs for bite sized snacks, or I have heard of pickling them as well but haven't tried it yet. I am currently...
My button quail just hatched! yaay. anyone want a couple babies or fertile eggs? I got some of each :)
on a side note, what does everyone consider a good price for button quail or hatching eggs?
chicks
parents
haha yep, I am keeping a solid black frizzle, but just ran out of room to keep them all lol. I wasn't thinking and gave the mottled female to a friend and I am kicking myself for doing it lol. And i am keeping the marans hen even though she is listed in original ad. oh well maybe someday when i...
I love them all but I just have way too many chickens at the moment so these were the ones i decided to part with. it's killing me though lol every time I look at them I want to change my mind and keep them. lol
hens $5 each roosters free-they were running through the sprinkler earlier so some of them look a bit bedraggled

yep I already sold a few pairs. I am excited to work with the breed. they sound fun... i think greenfire described them as the "uber chicken" haha. I guess the boys get pretty big and the ladies lay a decent sized egg. plus they are auto sexing so telling male from female is easy. all around...
haha ya - greenfire farms = top dollar birds. i just want one pair though so i am selling off the extras for less than you can get them anywhere else. http://greenfirefarms.com/store/category/chickens/bielefelders/
Hello, I hope no one minds me advertising here but I don't ship so I thought I would put my chicks for sale on the NH page.
I saved some hatching eggs from my friends silver laced polish rooster and my mixed hen, I am not sure what she is, she has a buttercup comb, and 5 toes on each foot...
all around- she mostly goes to local mines in vt/nh/maine but i know she takes trips to other places if she is looking for something specific. http://www.keenemineralclub.50webs.com/#welcome here is a link to the mining club she is treasurer for. not sure if she found this mineral and then cut...
oh and I have chicks available too- i wanted a few specific breeds so i bought a lot of hatching eggs and now i have WAAAY to many chicks. I still have to figure out which ones I am keeping but I will have a bunch available. silkie cross, cochins, frizzle cochins, ga noi, barnyard mix, islandic...
awesome- me and my husband were walking in the woods behind our house when we first moved in and we found a bunch of misc. bones- we found a lot of spine pieces and a jaw but not a complete skull- ever since then we have been hooked lol. my mom goes mining (yes with a pickaxe lol) and she brings...
i have only been to one swap- it was cool but not worth the 2 hour drive lol. i mean i was looking for unique breeds so that might have been part of it but if you are looking for just good layers I would say it is a good place to get some. Other than that i would stick to local people who have...
