I put 38 eggs in last Friday, and 56 eggs in last night.
I’m sure I’ll have some broody hens in a month or two cause last year it seemed all but two were broody all summer long! I didn’t have the greatest luck with hens raising the chicks that they hatch some problems I had were 2 hens were the...
Currently staring at the eggs on day 7 of incubation. Im so excited for all the hatches to come this year.
Oh-me-oh-my do I love Orpingtons <3 I can't wait to see all of the new generations running around this spring, I'm always striving to improve my flock. Pictures of some of my girls and...
Hello all! My friend purchased some silkies and is hoping to get some insight on weather she has a whole bunch of roosters or if we hopefully have some hens here too!! They are 4 months old so hopefully old enough for the experts to weigh in. Thanks again
There’s 2 pictures of each. Hopefully...
Hello again! Here's the update on some of the chicks I had initially wondered what sex they were. I re-homed chicks 1, and 3 and have attached pictures of how 2, 4 and 5 grew out as well as some of the other chicks I hatched this year and group photos of the colourful ladies!! Needless to say if...
Hi all!!
Im looking for some help identifying my Guinea colours. Ive tried to only upload one of each colour. I notice some have similar colours but have white bellies (pied right?) and or only half their feathers have the dots on them (pearling right?)
Hopefully these pictures can help other...
Hubby is looking to learn how to make his own pinto keets, we currently have pied, bronze, pearl pied, lavander, chocolate, violet, brown, royal purple, pastel, buff dundotte, and blue!
Thanks in advance!
I should add her shipping was amazing, there’s so many variables to shipped eggs I’m happy with 25-50% hatch rate. I don’t think the detached air cells or any of the ones not developing has any reflection on Tamara’s breeding! These things happen and it’s unfortunately just another part of...
The one mottled that I have hatched is from “The Mutt House” in Saskatchewan but I ended up ordering 32 eggs from McTamaras poultry in Alberta and I’m so excited to see them hatch. I havnt come across a flick that has as high quality as Tamara in Canada yet. If your in the states I feel you have...
They are a lot!! But you gotta have every colour just like the orpingtons haha.. they get so much joy from playing with eachother and the kids, it’s a two for one burning all this energy at once!
Now that the days are longer sleep doesn't come as easy, too much stuff I want to get done in a day!
I haven't sold any eggs yet, currently trying to hatch as many as a possibly can, and select the highest quality pullets to retain for the breeding program. Once satisfied with the flock I have I...
Hi! First Post here! I Love Orpington's, Cochins and can't say no to a beautiful faverolle. The Orps are my passion and I have set out to have as high quality orps staying as close to the English SOP as I can. I currently have Black, Blue, Splash, Isabel Chocolate silver laced and Silver Laced...
