    FREE Light Brahma Cockerel

    2 1/2 month old light Brahma cockerel. It's obvious this isn't a pullet. Will make a good breeding prospect, pet, etc. Friendly and healthy. We do not want roosters. They tear up our laying hens. But I sure as heck don't want to eat them! Located in Northern Shelby County, IL. You must...

    Light Brahma-Cockerel or Pullet?

    They are hard to photograph when they are running around at warp speed. LOL Here he/she is on the left preening. The one to the behind/right I am sure is a pullet.

    Light Brahma-Cockerel or Pullet?

    Cackel Hatchery has a 95% accuracy rate regarding sexing. So with 16 chicks I figure I should only have 2 cockerels at the most. At 2 1/2 months old. LOOKS like a cockerel. Was hoping I would luck out with all pullets but this little one I am not sure about. What do you all think?

    new order of baby chicks dying fast!!!

    The hatchery I use will only ship on Monday and Tuesday. Mine were shipped out on a Monday and were delivered the next day. Of course, where you are located in relation to where the hatchery is has a lot to do with delivery time.

    new order of baby chicks dying fast!!!

    Our neighbors purchased chicks from McMurray one year and they too all died. In their case it was because McMurray shipped over the weekend and the chicks sat in the postal warehouse for almost 3 days. But their shipping practices may have changed since then. Hugs for the stress you are going...

    Wry Neck!!! HELP

    My chick is back out with her siblings. She is pecking around in the chick food on her own. The other chicks didn't seem to mind that their sister was back after a 2 day absence. She is getting stronger in holding her head up and seems happy to be back with her "family". Still keeping a close...

    Wry Neck!!! HELP

    Well, she is getting a bit better. Her head isn't flopping to the side as much, in fact, hardly at all unless she gets upset over something, which is usually when I put her back in her box. She has this delusion I am "mommy". She is eating a little although not as much as I would like for her...

    Wry Neck!!! HELP

    My week old black Jersey chick, who I found with wry neck this morning, is not doing so well with this ailment. She will only drink if I use a syringe and she will not attempt to eat. She is lethargic and only sleeps; is not active at all. I am pretty much resigned to the fact that she is not...

    Chick trying to turn it's head upside down...

    I have a week old Black Jersey Giant chick that I found like this today. I have her isolated and am giving her small drops of water w/ Terramyacin (sp?) and am also massaging her neck. I was worrying about feeding her but am going to try what the poster above suggested with parrot food. She is...
