We just got two baby Silkies, they are the cutest little fellers! LOL! We don't know at this time if they are male or female, but we are hoping they are one of each as we would love to maybe take a shot at breeding them? We have them in the house right now under a lamp with 7 new baby Australorp...

Buffies don't lay until they are at least 6 to 8 months old. I have several of them and they are the sweetest chickens you could have gotten! LOL! But yeah, you still have about another 20 weeks or so before you will get eggs from them. The benefit of Buffies is that they will keep laying a long...

You have some beautiful birds! Congratulations! I have three Buffies right now and they are all sweethearts! They are healthy and laying right now, and they all love to squat down and stop in their tracks so Mommy or Daddy can pick them up and pet them! They are so very friendly and we...

We have three Americaunas that look just like your girl "Snow"! They are pretty awesome, we have had them since they were babies and they love to be petted and picked up and hugged!

I have two Buff Orpingtons now and they are doing awesome! They never did stop laying, once they started, and i think they are only 9 months old too! They are very adventurous chickens, we have an acre and a quarter for them to roam around in but they enjoy going into the neighbor's yards too...

That is more than likely the case with mine. They are very light, almost a yellowish-white in color. I am fairly sure they are Buff Leghorns, they came from a good place that breeds pretty good quality chickens. The same place I bought my Bantams from a year ago, as a matter of fact. I was...

Wow, you guys are seriously informed on this thread! I just got three Buff Leghorns and came to see what you all had to say about them? Definitely going to be some reading to do to get caught up to you all! (Mine are still babies, about four weeks old now, I presume..? The photo was taken two...

That would be my question? Do you think he might just be a mix breed and should have already been on the butcher's block or something..? I did finally have to slaughter the last two of the Cornish I was talking about earlier too, they are now in the freezer. I would not mind doing that again as...

Oh those are so adorable! LOL! I love to see them when they are just little Fuzzballs like that! Hahaha! I made a video of the Buff Leghorns I got, and then the next day I went and got three more little babies, a Rhode Island Red and two Buff Orpingtons, but the store had a baby Turkey who was...

Thank you, I appreciate the information there, once again! I do not know why Tractor Supply does this, I really would not mind getting some of those birds and already knowing and planning on what has to be done so I could use them as meat, but not knowing was what is the most irritating part...

I must have missed how the counting was being done. I will go back to the original Post Page and see what I did wrong! (Sorry guys! LOL!)

Okay, thank you guys. I did not know, for sure, but from what I had read before I thought you were going to tell me that. Yes, the guy who bought them did say they were Cornish Rocks, why he bought them I do not know, but aside from being one of my best friends, he is an idiot! Hahaha! So I...

I just got three baby Buff Leghorns two days ago! We are really excited about them because although we have four female Bantams and a Bantam Rooster, they are not laying as many eggs as my girlfriend wants! So I learned that these Leghorns are "Production-Level" egg layers and happened to get a...

Okay I think I found the right thread here, but I am not too sure since I did not actually purchase these chicks. You see, I have three young chicks that were told to me they were Cornish Rocks, and everyone I have talked to about this said that this kind of chicken was not supposed to live...

Hmmmm. Glad I found this thread, I may have to do this a little sooner than I had thought too. I got some Cornish Rocks that are a little older now than I think they were supposed to be, so I am going to have to butcher them myself as well....
