    It looks like they still sell these ones. I might try buying some later this year, once my geese start laying...

    Fancy Ways Of Saying Eggs

    How do you guys refer to your eggs? More importantly, if chicken eggs are cackleberries and duck eggs are quackberries, would turkey eggs be gobbleberries? What other names would sound good for turkey eggs, other than butt nuggets?

    Gapeworm and waterbelly

    Deworming livestock mothly is actually a really bad idea. The more often you deworm, the more resistant the surviving parasites become to the medicine you are using. You are also basically reseting your chickens viral load each month, and reducing the likelihood of them building up a natural...

    Would anyone be interested in Dutch Owlbeard eggs? My breeding stock is from Greenfire Farms. The hens are lemon, the rooster is a lemon/gold mixture. They are pickup only, in Wantage, since I am not NPIP certified. $7 each or $75 for a dozen.

    Did A Hawk Do This?

    I got my first ducks and chickens about May/June last year and have been free-ranging them all day everyday since. They are only locked up at night, before it starts getting dark out. Over the past couple months, I have lost 3 ducks but didn't think much of it because they were all cripples or...

    Australorp Hens - Sussex, NJ

    Do theirs get to a good size? I am having a hard time finding any that get larger than the average meat bird. Back in their golden years, Jersey Giants were supposed to get up to 15 pounds, but no one breeds them for size anymore. Now they're just glorified Australorps.

    Australorp Hens - Sussex, NJ

    I have 4 black Australorp hens up for rehoming. I got them from TSC in early october as Jersey Giants, which they are not. They just started laying early this week. They have been raised free range and fed New Country Organics. They do not like snow, they will not leave the coop if they decide...

    I have 3 Isbars to rehome; 2 cockerals and 1 pullet, about 2 months old. They are from Greenfire Farms, I wanted some Schijndelaar but didn't want to pay $50 each, so I got the Blue/Green Assortment. 2 Indian Runner drakes; 1 black and 1 buff, about 5 months old. I also have some Jersey Giant...

    North Jersey - Cockerals, Drakes, & Pullets

    I have 3 Isbars to rehome; 2 cockerals and 1 pullet, about 2 months old. 2 Indian Runner drakes; 1 black and 1 buff, about 5 months old. I also have some Jersey Giant pullets that might actually be Australorps; their feet are not showing any signs of yellowing. These are about 3/4 months old...

    Sexing Tractor Supply Cuckoo Marans

    Thank you! I, for the life of me, could not find any pictures of broilers that look like yours, which is why I assumed they were Maran mutts. Those pictures are exactly what mine look like.

    Sexing Tractor Supply Cuckoo Marans

    Mine all looked like this as chicks. The only difference is that some had brown around their beak and eyes, and some grey splotches on their feet and legs. Also, Hoover's website states they only sell Royal Grey Broilers unsexed. So what are the odds that all 10 of my mystery chickens are pullets?

    Sexing Tractor Supply Cuckoo Marans

    Does anyone have pictures of Royal Grey Broilers, especially as chicks? For some reason I can't find any and Hoover's website only has a picture of the red chicks. I assumed they were Marans because they looked like Maran/Barred Rock chicks when I got them and even as they got older I couldn't...

    Sexing Tractor Supply Cuckoo Marans

    Could they be Speckledies? They just don't look anything like Olive Eggers or Rangers.

    Sexing Tractor Supply Cuckoo Marans

    I know they're not real Marans, they're Tractor Supply Marans. Most of Hoover Hatchery's chickens are mutts that are bred to resemble what they're being advertised as. Aren't true Marans supposed to have feathered feet? They are definately mixed with some kind of meat bird though; they are thick.
