    Buy it Now - Sapphire Hatching Eggs 12+

    Terrific! I'm just looking for egg color, but eye candy hens would be a nice bonus! I've gone from a mixed flock to concentrating on Delawares, but I miss seeing a variety of egg colors in my basket.

    Determing Roo fertility

    Do roosters lose fertility over the winter? Kind of like how hens slow or stop egg production? I have a super sweet roo who might be 3 y.o. and I just candles some eggs at 7 days. They're all clear. I really wanted chicks from him. Should I give him a couple more weeks? Or is it soon...

    Rooster limping....PLEASE HELP!!!

    The forward foot is how it looks today. I can't really get a good picture. There's swelling between the toes and the bottom.

    Rooster limping....PLEASE HELP!!!

    My rooster, Chuck, started limping just over two weeks ago. One foot was swollen nearly twice the size of the other. But there was no sore or kernel like with bumblefoot. The little toe was crusty, but after scrubbing it looked okay. I soaked it daily in Epsom salts and have him Tylan 50...

    Raccoons can chew through poultry wire. It's really only meant to contain chickens, not keep predators out. Dogs will grab by the neck too - as I'm learning with my latest rescue dog. She's killed two and grabbed a couple others and carried them around the yard like that. Raccoons wiped out...

    Show off your Delawares! *PIC HEAVY*

    I've seen barred tails like that go either way. If it has hatchmates, compare leg girth and posture. Is it holding itself upright and are it's legs on the thick side? Those are my go-to indicators. Feathers and combs can still be tricky at this age in some chicks.

    Does anyone have older turkey poults (~2 months) for sale? Looking for one or two to grow out for the holidays.

    Is this Delaware really a hen?

    This was the picture my phone wouldn't let me upload. Two of the boys are 12 o'clock from the waterer.

    Is this Delaware really a hen?

    This is my latest batch of chicks at 5 weeks. Two boys are obvious - red combs & real smutty on backs between shoulders. There's a 3rd boy in there who was mostly white like the girls, so I could only tell by comb color.

    Is this Delaware really a hen?

    That's tough! I'd say give it another week to be sure. I'm trying to find baby pictures of the two Del hens I got from McMurray a few years back.

    Pullet trying to vomit?

    I have one pullet who is fluffing up and heaving like she's trying to bring something up. Her crop isn't full and she's too young to be laying - about 2 mos old now. She's eating, so I'm at a loss. Any ideas on what I can do to help her?

    Yes, they were great last year and just starting again this year, but I sold them this afternoon.
