    Black Copper Marans?

    He's definitely an interesting color. I guess maybe a mix breed

    Black Copper Marans?

    I wish I was an expert with Marans but clearly I'm not. What would you call this color? He was bought as a chick as a BCM but is he Wheaten instead or something else? In the picture he was just stretching, and has terrible frostbite from our Texas snow storm but he's fine now and his comb tips...

    King quail/ Button quail needing new homes in Texas

    I have several King quail (often called Button quail) that I need to part with. Located near New Braunfels.

    Button quail fighting or getting jiggy?

    Hard to tell from the pic for sure but to me Q3 looks like a female because of the spotted chest. I found King quail (button quail) do best in pairs and pairs only, unless they were all raised together since birth. I have a group of 5 males and 3 females that were born together and they all get...

    How can I legally sell chicks/eggs in Texas?

    Hi, thanks for replying. I don't sell from home. I do more of the "meet me in a parkin lot". So how are so many people still shipping eggs if they can't be tested? I've contacted my local county on farmers market rules too and am waiting for their response.

    Extra Bloom

    I found this surprise in the coop today. I'm guessing it's just excessive bloom? I rinsed it off carefully and there is a clear jelly glob with it along with a twisted section. This reminds me of the afterbirth of a cow. I've never seen anything like this from a chicken. What's going on here?

    Gender input, anyone?

    It's hard to tell for me in the pictures. In a few more weeks you will really start to notice the saddle feathers (by tail) look different by either staying round or getting pointed. Also the feathers around the neck on the males get very thin. Look up some pictures of hackle feathers. Here are...

    Egg Hatching Incubation Calendar

    Absolutely! I occasionally hatch eggs for others and it works out fine. They collect from their own chickens for a few weeks and I put them in the incubator when they give them too me. I'll add some of my own eggs to the incubator at a later date and still have a good hatch rate. I suggest write...

    Egg Hatching Incubation Calendar

    Hi all. I made an incubation chart on Excel so I can print it out and cross off each day. If you want me to email it to you, let me know and I'll try my best. That way you can customize it for yourself like change the wording, change the candling day, etc.

    How can I legally sell chicks/eggs in Texas?

    Hi all. I'm wanting to expand my customers but I'm not sure how. I would like to have my eggs at the local grocery store, and also be able to ship chicks. I read you're required to be NPIP certified for this, but how can I get certified if the A&M website says there is an outage of PT antigen in...
