    Crushed foot - advice needed

    To me, it doesn't look fresh. If it's healed like that then I wouldn't try to force it back into shape. If it's fresh you might try making her a little cardboard boot and wrapping it. I would not amputate or cull as I would prefer to wait and observe. Unless she is showing obvious signs of...

    Hoovers sent the wrong chicks!

    They have agreed to reship in May. Hopefully I get the right ones then. In the meantime I was able to rehome the polish and will raise up the others until I'm sure what they are.

    Recommendations for a Hatchery?

    My tractor supply marks chicks down substantially every week to every other week. I just ask the employees if they know when they're going to be marking them down to make room for the next shipment and would they give me a discount if I bought all of them. Ive gotten ducks for less than $1 each...

    Hoovers sent the wrong chicks!

    I emailed them with photos as soon as we got home with them and so far no reply. I will try calling tomorrow if I don't get a reply.

    Hoovers sent the wrong chicks!

    I really don't think so. Wouldn't it say on the invoice or box?

    What hatchery has the best buckeyes?

    I think strombergs just dropships, like Tractor Supply. I think they get their birds from hoovers now but I am not positive.

    Hoovers sent the wrong chicks!

    So I placed an order for chicks for May 6th but got an email saying they would be shipping early Feb. I figured I messed something up when checking out and just rolled with it and got the brooder ready early, no big deal. Well the chicks arrived today and only 6 of them look like what I ordered...

    Capons

    When pigs and calves have it done, it's not an intra abdominal surgery. You really can't compare banding to caponization.

    Recreating the 55 flowery chicken coloration

    I was moving around some birds from my brooder into a grow out pen and realized I had one more female that looks like it might have wild type and barring. Does it look like she also got the mottling gene? Ignore the bald neck, she just got picked at by some of the older chicks and is still...

    Is anyone breeding barred Ameraucana?

    Do you remember what her seller name is? Have you been happy with their egg color?

    Feeling awful for culling my rooster

    I don't have much to add other than I prefer to use tree loppers so it is instant and there's no second guessing. Can I ask, if you aren't planning to eat them, why not try to rehome them first? I personally eat my unwanted birds because it feels so wasteful to kill them and not even make a meal...
