    The Wyandotte Thread

    Just acquired these guys and gals today (hence the cardboard box…and hey,at $2/ea who could resist?!) and I believe they are 6-8 weeks old, all seem quite healthy. I'm new to Wyandotte's and was wondering if you could explain the colors to me? I've read through page after page of Wyandotte...

    13 Week Old Chicks Dying - Vent's Look "Blown Out" Help!

    Okay, so I hatched out about 15 Black and Blue Copper Marans around the first of February, and now have 5. We kept them inside Until they were about 10 weeks old, where we moved them to a rabbit hutch. A few days after moving them outside I had a few die, and noted that it looked like their back...

    Marans Thread for Posting Pics of Your Eggs, Chicks and Chickens

    Okay, wow! I've read probably 100+ pages back through this thread, and I'm learning SO much! But, my clickin' finger is starting to cramp, so I'm just going to ask some questions. We just hatched out some Black and Blue Coppers. I purchased eggs off of ebay, had a GREAT hatch with my blacks, but...

    Organic Feed

    I really wish we had a good source for an organic feed mix here, but we just don't. My husband and I are considering buying bulk from a mill on the west coast and repackaging it to sell local, because there is a big interest in it! I know for a fact that if I could feed my chickens a labeled...

    cost of your birds

    I got chickens purely because I like having them, but when the eggs started piling up the fridge I decided to sell them. I make around $30 a month just by selling my surplus of eggs (that's with 9 hens) - that amount per month definitely adds up considering I spend maybe $20.00 in feed every...

    "Assorted Marans" Hmmm...What do you think?

    Quote: Kinda what I was thinking. I suppose it would be easy to get them all jumbled together considering they both come out of dark eggs. I think they're cuties, and hopefully I end up with a decent amount of girls out of the bunch. Only time will tell! Can't complain for .50 cents each...

    "Assorted Marans" Hmmm...What do you think?

    Quote: I went and looked, and they really are sleek cheeked (haha) - Interestingly enough, there is one with light slate-ish legs but the others are more yellowy...all of them do have bare legs.

    "Assorted Marans" Hmmm...What do you think?

    Went to an auction today and bought 21 chicks labeled "assorted marans" for .50 each - I know there are some Cuckoo's in there, mostly cockerels (the one I was for sure was a pullet died *sob*) but these others I'm not so sure about? I did some researching and they look more like Welsummer...

    Okies in the BYC The Original

    Quote: Hi LeAnna, Welcome to the Okies bunch!!!!! Ya'll should go ahead & join us at the POOPS get-together. I think you'd enjoy it, there will be lots of food and there will be lots of birds there for sale as well. It's not too much farther away than the Blanchard auction is from Tuttle...

    Okies in the BYC The Original

    Hey all, newbie here! We live in Tuttle (actually, we're Okcarla's neighbor!) and enjoy chickens as a hobby (we have 9 assorted brown egg layers- hatchery stock...not sure what they are, but they're fat and sassy). It looks live I've jumped in mid-stream on the poops meeting excitement. Wish...
