    can't figure this out... help

    Thanks for your opinion...that was basically my conclusion, too. I can't tell the maran from the dominique in the order. They ALL look more like maran to me.

    can't figure this out... help

    Came from hatchery, but don't know which one as I got them at the feed store in Kiowa, CO. I didn't think they looked anything like the Dominique we had a couple of years ago. Yeah, I think that both of the lighter colored birds are going to be roosters, ugh. wish I new which hatchery it was...

    These were supposed to be Dominique, but at the same time I got some cuckoo Marans, black jersey giants, and Black Australorp. We've piety much eliminated the australorps and jersey giant. They look like pea comb instead of rose, and the legs look more like white than yellow...

    Heat Lamp Explosion

    I went to purchase also, but apparently they no longer carry them. Was told by someone else to go there. The only splatterproof ones I was able to find were also SHATTERPROOF (teflon coated). Ugh. Anyways, look for some thing that says pyrex glass, but not plastic or PTFE coated. Good luck...

    Heat Lamp Explosion

    I know this is an old post, but wanted to be sure to post a warning here about 'shatter-proof' bulbs. They are coated in PTFE, which is Teflon, and very toxic to birds. Many manufacturers, but not all, now have warnings not to use for poultry. Some say 'plastic coated'. Just had someone in...

    Big R in Falcon orders their chicks from Privett, I think. The workers won't be helpful in sorting out your chicks, but you can place your own special order through them...same minumums as going direct, though. Does anyone know which hatchery Rocking B in Black Forest uses? I'll probably...

    New here checking in...my son is doing poultry in 4H for his second year and I have caught the bug. We are finishing up our chicken coop and hope to increase our flock this Spring. We bought Silver Laced Wyandotte chicks from Eric Fulenwider last year from a Craigslist add. We are really...
