@007Sean do you have any idea on where to get some peach or some breeders to reserve eggs for spring?

Email me at [email protected] This auction is over but I have more birds. Extras will be going to auction this weekend

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT, on my Facebook profile page under the name Amber Hardesty Harder ! Auction for a PAIR of MANDARIN DUCKS! ENDING at 8:30 pm central time. NPIP & H5/H7 clean. Located in Kansas but shipping is available.

I have a styrofoam incubator with a really crummy hatch rate (usually 2 out of any number I put in ever hatch) and a batch of bantam eggs at day 19. Outside is a (first time) broody hen sitting on 4 eggs (that I put under her 2 weeks ago). Is it too late to slip some of these others under her...

Actually I will have an incubator (running and full of serama eggs) in the back of my SUV as well. It's a crummy deal all around, I had to leave home to come help my mom out after an emergency surgery, and I didn't trust anyone at home with the incubator, now mom wants the hen gone because she...

I know this isn't a whose idea but I'm taking a broody hen and her 4 eggs home from my parents house in a few days. It's a 5 hour trip during which I will be picking up a few other chickens at various stops. I was going to put her and the nest in a pet taxi and cover with a blanket during the...

I have several people asking me to ship bantam chicks but I only have small batches. The boxes to ship chicks seem to be for quantities of 25 or more, would putting a divider in work? Can I make my own box (to USPS specifications of course)? Also, do chicks need shipped with a heat pack in...

Thank you, I sure hope so!

This is all I have, I'll try to get some better ones tomorrow, it's getting dark here and I'm trying to get the kids ready for bed. Most of their tails have been picked off the poor things. I got 2 Milles with them as well and their tails are completely missing.

I just brought these home...excuse how filthy and beat up they look, I haven't had a chance to bathe them yet and they were in crowded pen...they are supposed to both be porcelain d'uccle hens but after a better look I realized one is a booted and the other a d'uccle, and I noticed the booted...

Would running a warm mist humidifier right next to the incubator help prevent shrinkwrapping/loss of humidity if you needed to open the incubator during lockdown to remove hatchlings or candle late eggs,etc?

My 13 yo is looking for serama eggs or chicks (possibly adults) close by so we can skip the hassle and expense of shipping. We live by Dodge City, KS and regularly drive to Salina and Wichita, so anywhere within that triangle would be great. Can possibly drive into NW Oklahoma or NW Ks as well.

My daughter is new to 4H but really interested in trying to hatch bantam and serama eggs. She got a Little Giant still air incubator for xmas and tried one hatch of RIR/BR eggs (local) with a hatch of only 2 of 12. She's saved up some money so I just ordered her some mille fleur eggs to be...

That is kind of what I was thinking too but just couldn't find that color mix. Maybe he's just a mutt!

I'm assuming this is a roo based on the comb and there is a slight green sheen starting on some of the wing feathers but I've not been able to find any pics of what exactly breed it may be? Any ideas? It is a bantam breed, about 9 weeks old.
