    The Wyandotte Thread

    These two little ones hatched two days ago... My flock contains Golden Laced and Blue Wyandottes as well as Barred Rocks. My rooster is a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. I can't wait to see what these guys are!

    Plymouth Rock thread!

    Here are pics of some my Barred Rock pullets and a couple of my cockerels (from Privett Hatchery) I am trying to discern goals that are necessary to close my flock and breed my own BR's & Wyandottes as soon as is reasonable... We have started with hatchery birds because we were just going to...

    Anyone Have Any Experience WIth Privett Hatchery?

    Yes, my Barred Rocks came from Privett and I have been thrilled with the service and the chicks I purchased. My second batch of meat birds is on order from them for delivery the last week of this month... YMMV, however! Good luck.

    Hi fellow Coloradans! I am 50 miles east of Colorado Springs and would love to make some good local poultry contacts. I am interested in Wyandottes and Jersey Giants.

    Plymouth Rock thread!

    My husband purchased un-medicated Layer Ration with 16% protein and 3.50% calcium. Thank you for the good advice, I will store it for the future! Flock raiser and Oyster Shell on the side, sounds yummy! I am planning on putting a raised bed in the pen off of my coop for greens, we will see how...

    Jersey Giants thread for pictures and discussion

    Thank you, since he is so new to my flock I need to decide if I am going to let him go... I have lots of friends with small flocks, and perhaps I should place him before I get attached...

    Jersey Giants thread for pictures and discussion

    My new Jersey Giant "Goose" has a slight crossbeak (see photo) is this likely to worsen over time? You can see it in this photo. Any advice? I thought he would be fine as a second roo for my layers (Barred Rocks), I don't plan on breeding anything from him, but would love to have some Jersey...

    Plymouth Rock thread!

    This is so helpful to know! My Barred Rocks are from Privett Hatchery in NM because they were closest to us and we had never had chicks shipped before. They are my first chickens and I have been so happy with them. Now of course, I want to become a bit more serious and am looking at Heritage...

    Handmaid Leah's Flock

    The Barred Rock hen is one of 23 that I currently have in my flock... I plan on getting my numbers down so that I can get to know those that I keep as my laying crew. I suppose names will follow because I name everything! The little BLR Wyandotte roo and the Blue Jersey Giant roo I found on...
