I've ordered from McMurray before. I love them and will be ordering mine this year from them. I prefer McMurray and Ideal. They have very beautiful and healthy birds. The mystery chick is one per order. Like another PP said no matter how many you order you get one mystery per order. But...

Sorry for posting this in another section but I need help ASAP!!! I'm making deviled eggs for Thanksgiving and I had thrown some of my EE eggs with my others in the pot for the deviled eggs. I just peeled them and noticed something really strange about the EE eggs and now I'm scared to eat...

I'm making deviled eggs for Thanksgiving and I had thrown some of my EE eggs with my others in the pot for then deviled eggs. I just peeled them and noticed something really strange about the EE eggs and now I'm scared to eat them. I HAVE eaten the EE eggs before but this is the first time...

I'm doing my planing now for my spring orders and am having a hard time deciding where to go. Last year I ordered from Ideal and I think they do a fabu job. My problem is I ordered 10 silkes from them and STILL managed to end up with 8 roos! I know MPC sells sexed silkies but they go for $10...

yeah that's the stuff. I was thinking after watching the birds, I think they are getting stepped on.

We keep losing some of our chicks and we can't figure why. We were wondering if it was due to them eating the berries of the polk salad next to our yard, since some have been covered in the purple juice. I know after a certain amount of time they are considered poisonous but birds should be...

My silke had a NASTY boo-boo on her rump/hip. It was more than likely due to the males (who are ONLY a couple week older than her) trying to mate. She is one of the smallest which is why she probably got hurt and the other females have not. Any way, it looks almost like a diamond shape had...

Thats strange. It seems the smaller ones are more prone to the leg problems. HMMM All my broilers seem to be small in stature to begin with. They were born feb 9th and still are not that large as far as how tall and what not they are, nice breast meat but still are not overly huge. But...

Thanks! Yeah they are other wise fine. Normal behavior, eating drinking. They act like they want to get up and move around they just seem that their legs wont let it happen so well. I went out to feed the chickens and they tried to hobble over but didn't make it far. I had to go up to them...

We have some meat birds that we plan to butcher this week end. Here's the thing, two of them are seeming to have trouble walking. Now, I know they are prone to leg problems because of their size, but these birds feed was carefully monitored to ensure that wouldn't happen til we got to a point...

I have you all beat..I have to wait for Glee to come on Hulu to see it! And it's all the cable comp fault. When we bought our house we fought with them for months to run the line. They never did and just got DSL for internet cause AT&T ACTUALLY came out and ran the line. Now I have to catch...

Quote: This is true. If they are making threats like this they can legally gt into BIG trouble. I would tell a counselor or something and tell your parents. If they are picking on you that hard they are no real friends so if they decide to not like you because they got in trouble then maybe...

Ok here are the pics. The one I noticed IS starting to get her tail feathers but the other is still a bunny tail with blue feet. I still think it's kind odd for her to have blue feet. LOL I will say though that is one cute butt-less BR! But any way here are the parents and the little...

Quote: That still kind of confuses me. Wouldn't the others from the mother or the father be the same? None of the others are like this that are colored the same. And that still doesn't explain the more blueish feet on the others. I mean they are half way to maturity and are fully...

Quote: They have been like this from birth. None of the chicks are getting pecked on by the others. Even the one that's the smallest doesn't get pecked. Every one else has their tail feathers and none of the chicks are missing feathers on the wings. No blood, nothing. So I highly doubt...
