    Black Copper Marans discussion thread

    I finally found some French Copper Marans close by so I'm excited. I'm 99% sure that we have 3 cockerels and 2 hens. I've also heard that it is sometimes hard to be sure until they crow so let me know if you agree. No crowing so far. I've posted pics. It's hard to get good pics of all f them at...

    Faverolles Thread

    Anyone have any SQ Bantam Faverolles chicks or eggs we could buy to show in August for 4H and Illinois State Fair? This will probably be my daughters last year showing before she graduates HS and I wanted to purchase some show quality for her this year. She's just shown our layers and some pet...

    Looking for Show quality Salmon Faverolles Chicks or eggs

    Thanks! I already talked to Leisha and I'm going to call her back in May. I did see (I think) Ron Patterson's name in the Poultry press so I can contact him. There was also someone in Edgewood IL in the current Poultry Press I think that I may call. I'll keep researching. Thanks for the tip on...

    Looking for Show quality Salmon Faverolles Chicks or eggs

    Keesmom, Well, now that we know there are both we were thinking about looking for both Bantam and LF. We are located in Central IL. Do you know of anyone? I contacted Comer and they may have some later in the Spring. I would love to find some earlier if possible because she will show in early...

    Looking for Show quality Salmon Faverolles Chicks or eggs

    I am looking for some for my daughter to show August 2013. They have to be hatched after Dec. 1, 2012 and we need possession by June 1 although I would rather raise them from chicks or hatch eggs. She has shown our layer & pet Silkie chickens the last 2 years but since this will probably be...

    Keep silkie chicks with mom?? Help soon please

    Thanks. Her first one hatched yesterday so I'll see how many we have when I get home and move them once I'm sure she is done. Anyone out there ever had the chicks get caught up in the hens feathers and die? I thought it must have been because they were cold. We did not put a light in for them...

    Keep silkie chicks with mom?? Help soon please

    We have had 2 chicks hatch so far this morning. The hen is in a chicken tractor with another hen and 1 rooster. I am owrried that the rooster will hurt them and really they may be able to get out through the chicken. The last time she hatched chicks we moved them into a tub and 2 of them ended...

    Need to get rid of FLYS!!! they are constantly on the chickens and ducks food. Any ideas?

    Great idea about freezing water in bags. Do the chickens eat the plastic? I'm enjoying the 89 degree weather this week! Never thought the 104 would end and no rain for us for at least 3 weeks. So glad you guys brought up using fly traps. We built a hen house this Spring and I've noticed the...

    Dwarf/midget Silkie?

    We have hatched a total of 9 White Silkies so far. One of the 6 week old chicks is about half the size of the others. It is doing great and seems normal but my Husband thinks it is a midget. Is this possible?? Anyone ever had this happen? Should we keep it and breed it? Hubby wants to keep it...

    Can I keep a Poult & chicks together?

    Thanks, I'll give them a call. We had them tested last year in July for Fair and nothing was found but the test was for Pullorum Typhoid and it is the only test required so maybe we don't have a Blackhead problem. I'm getting ready to have them tested again for 4H Fair so I'll also ask at that...

    Can I keep a Poult & chicks together?

    Okay so I know that you can not pen turkeys with chickens together because they catch diseases from chickens poo but here is my question anyway. We had several Silkie chickens hatch and one turkey poult in the incubator. I have had them all in the same brooder for a week and they are all fine. I...

    Lady A Pheasant First hatch

    Well, 1 baby Lady A made it and has been happily living with the 4 white Silkie chicks. We are moving them outside soon and keeping the Pheasant with them until it gets big enough to defend itself. Our hens have not been able to hatch any although they have tried. We just threw away about 13...
