I have 1 roo and 3 hens. Free to a good home. They do have rose combs. Don't know anything about the quality and do not have pictures. They are very healthy and laying, but not great layers. Roo is friendly but very active. Likes to fly out of the pen and roam all over the property. PM...

I need a rooster for my ameraucana hens. If you have one that is calm, friendly, and fertile, but just needs a good home, please PM me.

Can anyone give me information on these or where I might obtain an old one? I understand that no one makes them anymore.

Grading papers. Making lesson plans for next week. Getting my incubator ready so we can hatch eggs in class instead of practicing for the "TEST." Yes!!

According to my vet, Amprolium will not hurt humans at all. There is no egg withdrawal on Amprolium (that is what is in chick starter).

Quote: I don't know your situation, but I can give some ideas. Chickens can eat whole kernal corn right off the cobb unless they are little or have some particular reason they can't. You can hand shell it and just throw it in there to them. I feed mine all table scraps and stale cereal...

Max days I've ever hatched from was 10. 7 is best. If you can keep them separate, go ahead and stick them in with the others. The whole bator will just smell really bad by the time the last ones hatch.

Where in West KY? I live in NW TN and might not be very far from you. I have several mixed hatching eggs.

I would like to buy about 12-15 fresh, black copper marans hatching eggs to ship on Mon. Jan 31. Please PM me if you have any.

Townline ISA browns are the best I've ever had.

Does anyone know who is selling hatching eggs under "Marans of Mississippi"?? How do you contact this person?

Ditto on Ideal.

Yes, my friends and I did it last year, and it is not quick and easy. I might be crazy, but as far as I know none of us involved in the project had any problems. First, I treated all the birds I was going to use with antibiotics and Eprinex and quarantined them in individual pens for 30 days...

Thanks, Kev. You answered my question. I thought I'd just have to do a random shoot with the white roos. I'll just breed them to the hens and see what happens.

I want to buy about 6-8 BCM eggs from good laying lines. The 4 birds I have are Wade lines but I need to add another line. Mine don't seem to lay very well. Does anyone have really good, pure BCM's that are laying and would be willing to sell me some close to West TN? I need them before next...
