I have recently decided to get out of the "Chicken Business" due to my upcoming second child. I purchased this Brinsea Octogon 20 Advance in July of this year and have since decided to sell it. It has only been used twice, and preformed like a dream each time. It comes complete with auto turning...
I'd say somewhere in his blood lines there is Cochin Frizzle. He looks like a bantam "something" to me. I have 3 Cochin Frizzle Roosters (all living together) if he acts anything like my boys you should snatch him up! They are sweet, calm, fun to watch, and easy on the ladies.
I bought this beautiful young Cochin hen (approx. 1 year old) as a "blue possibly lavender". Compared to my Blue Cochins, she looks almost light grey. But her head is kind of yellowish dark. So could she be a Lemon Blue? I was hoping for a Lavender, but if she's just a light blue I'm still...
Go for it! I just bought some Cochins from Privett, but to reach my minimum purchase I got 15 Ameraucanas to sell on Craigslist. Just be sure to order something that people want, like a popular breed or only pullets. Then after you resell them, your girls are paid for!
Thanks everyone for helping. Let me try to answer all these questions. They were my eggs and shipped eggs that had fully formed dead chicks. The only four that did fine were all mine. The chicks dead in the eggs had a lot of water in their eggs. The ones that came out seemed normal, and still...
Out of 8 that made it to lock down, 4 chicks are out and doing fine (and are very cute!), the other 4, when I opened their shells after I gave up, were fully formed, but dead. Based on this, was my humidity too high or too low. Thanks in advance for any help.
I will be putting about 30 eggs in lock down tonight (Cochins and Frizzle Mixes), and I want to try using egg cartons for the first time. I have the cartons cut down and ready, but I'm wondering, do I keep the eggs pointy side down, or turn them on their sides? Any advice would be so greatly...
