Awesome thanks I will go get some today :)

Ok thanks so much! Will he need grit?

Hello, I was just wondering when to start feeding my baby rescued pigeon defrosted peas. He hatched 12 days ago and is still on Kaytees Exact hand feeding formula. He has been eating great so I didn't know if it was time to introduce peas or not. Also, once I do start him on the peas, does he...

Thank you very much for your help! I have been monitoring the temperature very closely with a thermometer right beside the baby. My incubator and brooder is being used right now, so a heat lamp is the only option I have. It seems to be working well. I will start offering it water more often. I...

Hello, someone contacted me a few days ago and asked if I would house a baby dove that had been blown out of its nest during a storm. I've had chickens for years and have always been pretty good at nursing sick ones back to health (partially due to BYC) and figured I would take on the challenge...

Got some better pics Here are a few pictures of one of my Golden Phoenix cockerels. These hatched this past summer. I have three of them. ( They were taken inside for better lighting.) These three all hatched within a few days of each other so they are basically the same age and size...

LOL. I have one with your name on it!

I live in Stanly County, North Carolina and have lots of beautiful roosters that I have to get rid of. They are free to anybody that would like one. We are willing to drive up to an hour to meet you. The one on top is what they look like now. The ones on the bottom are the same breed...

Great! I'll PM you next week and we can figure something out. Thanks for your interest!

According to Google Maps, it looks like you're about 2 and a half hours away but we could probably meet you somewhere like Charlotte or Gastonia. Saturday mid-morning would be great. I'm going to be around that area. Let me know what you think -Olivia
