    Cockerels in need of homes MA

    I have 5 cockerels I want to give a chance of finding new homes opposed to the alternative, they're all very sweet but it's too many for my small flock. I have one Black Copper Marans, one Splash Ameracauna, one olive eggar, and two mixes.They're all curious but doesn't seem overly concerned...

    BearandDart's Flock

    Haven't been on this thread in awhile but here are some things happening with the flock! These babies love to come visit me when I'm coming to see the main flock! They've just been fully integrated recently and everything went smoothly. And there's broody Corvus in that temporary nesting box...

    too early, but mostly cockerels?

    So cute!! I'll be keeping all the pullets and at least one of the cockerels but I can't keep them all because I already have 2 roosters and there won't be a big enough hen/rooster ratio. It's a shame, I especially love Edmund, Larch ( definitely a cockerel now, (pointed saddles ) and Pyche but I...

    too early, but mostly cockerels?

    no problem! I figure I should probably include some updates in case anyone wants to know what these babies turned out to be, it's still hard for some but most of them are pretty obvious! Black Copper Marans #1 (Saiph) ~ Pullet Black Copper Marans #2 (Nekkar) ~ Pullet Black Copper Marans...

    Thanks, definitely agree with you there! Tend to be a little impatient though, it's all part of the fun of raising chicks. Here's hoping!

    too early, but mostly cockerels?

    Babies are 9 weeks old now. I'm confident for all but one chick, who I very much suspect is a cockerel, but I have that little big of (probably false) hope. It's still a bit early for hackles so this is just based on comb. Yew This is Larch the other splash ameracauna for reference (...

    BearandDart's Flock

    I wanted to make a thread about my flock and the different things things that tend to happen within it. I've always loved following different flocks, so why not have a record of my own! Let me introduce the different flocks. First we have the main flock, which consists of a variety of breeds...

    too early, but mostly cockerels?

    It's not super important or urgent I know if these babies are cockerels or pullets but I think noticing all those little differences can be really interesting. I have recently hatched 9 chicks, all are 2 weeks old, I'm thinking I could have mostly boys. Here are some pictures and notes! Black...

    Hi from central Ma! I've found the best thing that worked for me when I had a bad infestation of mites is a product called Elector Psp at 3 ml per quart, spray it around the coop and on the vents and other areas of the bird that tend to harbor mites and it works much better than anything else I...
