So I acquired a pair of Blue Wyandottes. Can anyone tell me more about them? I googled them and can't seem to find alot about them or breeders etc. Very beautiful birds if I may say so!

Where in WV?

Quote: I'm in scott county and I have several black split to lav orp cockerels. They are may hatches. I pm you. Interested in lav orp

THere is alot that go through the shelter in and around Richmond. Check petfinder in the Richmond area.

I have adult Speckled Sussex.

Found the remains of the Bantam today. Put her eggs in the bator. That's why I have the "game chickens". But the Maran is still on.

More good news, the bantam hen came to the porch to steal some cat food today, then returned to the fence line that is covered in honey suckle vine. So I am going to see if I cant find her in the morning.

Great news!!! I think the hens may have read this thread. Cuckoo Maran is 2 days on the nest. My lil bantam has disappeared and I haven't seen any of her eggs in awhile so I hope she is setting somewhere instead of making a good meal for the hawk.

Why is that interesting?

I have 2 RIR, 2 EE, 1 Cuckoo Maran, 1 Old English Bantam, 2 Black Racey Mugs(game hens) 2 roos 1 is RIR/buff orp cross, and an EE roo. They have a 20x40 run, 12x12 coop with partisan in center, having nesting boxes on one side and roost on the other. They are also let out to free range about...

LOL I promise it is fox. I would put money on it!!!

That wood be fox. Raccoon scat is tubular with blunt ends.

Well the result is here. Just one egg hatched 3 days old and named Lucky!!!

No cracked shell yet and we have heard chirping coming from the bator since 10am. This is my first so what do I do? The chirping has also decreased and I don't know what egg it is either. Plus we are in lock down. CLUELESS????

I am going to use the pithing method on them(I think). I have never used it before, so I hope all goes well. I will be posting pics, so please feel free to critique my work as this is going to be a learning experience. Although I am a hunter and thought maybe I could just shoot them in the head...
