    English Orpington with feathered legs

    Ugh. I have so much invested in this single pullet but the feathers just now started growing on her legs and feet so I'd have to keep all her chicks for months to determine if they have clean legs. I think I already knew I shouldn't breed her but I was hoping this kind of the thing would be a...

    English Orpington with feathered legs

    I wanted some chocolate orpingtons but I couldn't find any locally. So, I ordered hatching eggs. Two dozen eggs from two different breeders. The first pullet hatched is now a few months old. (I have four more from the second dozen that I can't sex just yet.) The thing is, that first pullet is a...

    ISO Nankin Bantams

    Looking for a breeding pair or two of Nankins but would also be interested in chicks in the southern US. I live in southern Ky and would like to find a breeder within a few hours drive if possible. I'd rather not have them shipped if I can help it. SQ preferred. Thanks.

    I have some Silver Laced Wyandottes (5 hens and 2 roos - all just over a yr old) that I have been trying to trade for some Golden Comet hens or pullets with no luck. When I posted ads to trade I got several replies wanting to just buy them outright, so I priced them, pulled the ads, and no one...

    Quote: The chicks were $2 each - which I thought was a great deal on fully feathered chicks but we got an even better deal by taking all 6 chicks for $10.

    Quote: Thanks GEGChickies. I can use all the luck you can send. I'm still new to chickens and I don't even know what Brabanters are but I hope to add a few blue cochins eventually. What a shame you had to throw out any of yours. *sending good hatching vibes back your way*.......

    Due the 22nd? Hatch with me!

    Mine are due the 22nd. Out of 24 buff orpington eggs and 24 black austrolorps, I have a total of 29 who have made it this far. Half of these were shipped eggs so I evidently had some scrambled. I kept them in the 'bator until day 15. They were still clear so I finally tossed them. I have no...

    Need advice for show supplies for Nigerian Dwarf goats

    The smaller dog choke collars are perfect but don't use it like a choke collar. It's nice to put one of those little metal snaps or a clip on it and use it like that but we also used zip ties to secure the two big rings together at the end of the collars and then just cut the ties after the...
