    I'm seriously considering starting a hatchery business(My game plan, critiques, advice, encouragemen

    My main question would be - If you can't sell some chicks for whatever reason at different stages, what would you do with the surplus? That is my main reason for not going ahead and doing what you are doing, however I would like to concentrate on Quail. Good luck if you do decided to go ahead!

    Need Hermit Crab Help

    A hermit crab can steal another's shell, you need to make sure there is some spare shells laying around - have some the same size as now and some a little larger.

    Australorps - 2 months - what gender?

    I hatched the eggs but they were the first chickens I have had from babies. I have no idea how to sex them, but I am lucky that I did the hatching through a program so the lady who I did the program through will take back any I don't want. My guesses for roos are 12, 8 and 5.

    Australorps - 2 months - what gender?

    I am pretty lucky I have 12 baby chicks but the breeder will take back any and all roosters plus 2 older girls, 3 teenager pullets and now these 2 I also have 3 ducks and 1 drake. I am in suburbia so am not allowed roosters but if I had land I would have some, they are pretty and I love their sound.

    Australorps - 2 months - what gender?

    Oh I am certainly keeping them, they were brought for my daughter and they are pretty cute and very friendly. At the end of the day it doesn't matter if they are a mixed breed thats what every other chicken is in my backyard, as I said above it was just a bit of a shock to be told that they...

    Australorps - 2 months - what gender?

    This ^ is true I guess I was just a little dissapointed I hadn't got what I thought I had got. I was prepared to hear that maybe one or both were roo's not that they weren't even Australorps!

    Australorps - 2 months - what gender?

    I was lucky in that he said I could take the ones I wanted and if they turned out to be roos he would swap them for pullets, but I am really upset that I have bought chickens that I thought were pure aren't.

    Australorps - 2 months - what gender?

    Well that really sucks here I am thinking I have brought two australorps and they both appear to be crosses! I have three americanas on order with him I might have to rethink. Thanks for the responses.

    Australorps - 2 months - what gender?

    Thanks for the reply, why do you think it's not an Australorp? These birds were both from a breeder that has (as far as I am aware) tried to have no mixed breeding in his program. If it is not an Australorp any guess as to what it may be?
