    Brahma Breeders thread

    Hi brahma peeps! Posting to subscribe and say hello. I am pretty new to poultry (1st year) but it has been a great journey! I have tried a few breeds this year but my hands down favourite is the bantam brahma! My son uses a beautiful buff pullet (she is in my avatar) for APA showmanship and does...

    Lethargic silkie hen? Or broody?

    Unfortunately, Peck Peck passed away last night. This is our first chicken death. Two sad kids and a sad mom today :( Thanks for all of your ideas and concern.

    Meatball the mystery chick! With pics...

    I forgot about this thread! Must update! Meatball is indeed a partridge wyandotte bantam! A lovely one at that. I think I will show her in the spring. Was going to put her in at thanksgiving (which is mod-October here) but her tail is still not all the way in. I will get some pictures tomorrow.

    Lethargic silkie hen? Or broody?

    I did contact the seller. He had no idea. I do believe him. He is a very high level breeder/showman in my province and the two birds I got from him were favours I asked of him...to be APA showmanship birds for my two children. She seems more comfortable now, but still droopy. Panting has...

    Lethargic silkie hen? Or broody?

    Unfortunately, she has gone from bad to worse. She is now panting and has droopy wings. Won't move. This would be easier of I knew more about her, but I've only had her for a day! I have not seen her straining to lay an egg, nor does she have a runny nose. Still won't eat, and now has stopped...

    Lethargic silkie hen? Or broody?

    Hi! Yesterday I picked up two nice show quality birds. One is a white silkie hen. I picked them up at a show. The silkie was very docile and I didn't think much of it because they are know to be docile. Today she is not eating and only drinking when I place her in front of the water and dip her...

    The Wyandotte Bantam Thread

    Hi wyandotte peeps! I am new to chickens and got my first bunch of chicks may 30th. They were all supposed to be speckled sussex and welsummer BUT...I got a mystery chick. Who is clearly bantam. I posted some pics in a different thread and some are of the opinion that this little one is a bantam...

    I don't breed yet, but will be showing in the fall! I have a gorgeous welsummer pullet that I have hopes for, as well as a partidge wyandotte bantam that might just be ok in the show room. What does everyone else breed/show?

    Meatball the mystery chick! With pics...

    Oh I so hope s/he is a little lady! I am leaning toward female no matter the breed. All the other chicks with the same birthday are showing pretty obvious signs as to gender at 5.5 weeks. Ohhh I hope so! She will lay the cutest eggs!

    Meatball the mystery chick! With pics...

    Hmm,...I'm not too sure about being a wellie. If you look at the pic of me and Miss Ruby and you can see that she has the salmon breast. meatball also has a rose comb and I think all wellies have single comb?

    Meatball the mystery chick! With pics...

    Thank you! S/he is my kids favourite, although the least likely to approach them. The welsummers are almost overly friendly. My kids are dyyyyimg to snuggle meatball! Does s/he look like a "she" to you??

    Meatball the mystery chick! With pics...

    So it's been a few weeks and Meatball is growing up! S/he is looking much more grown up, just tiny still! I had a thought the maybe s/he is a partridge chanticler bantam? I heard they are pretty rare so maybe I'm wrong. Here are a few updated pics. Sorry for the quality...iPad photography at...

    Have you seen those cool old-time 'Tube Feeders' ? Well, here's a new twist on an old idea

    Think you should do up some breed ones just as stock...bet they would sell! I might see if you can do up my poultry association logo on a few for prizes for our big show in august! Our first APA sanctioned show!

    Hey! Glad to see so many new peeps on this thread! My chicks moved to the coop today! So excited. It's not even completely finished yet but I could not handle them inside for one more day! Is there a Canadian buy and sell page? One I have not been able to find? I don't know if it's ok or not...

    Comment by 'Shesinthebarn' in item 'EcoGlow 20 Chick Brooder'

    Haha, yes, they perch and fly off of it a lot! I ended up putting a mat on top to help control the poop! My bedding is pine pellets. Love these because they are very low dust and they last forever!

    Review by '' on item 'EcoGlow 20 Chick Brooder'

    I got my very first chicks four weeks ago. I was a nervous wreck preparing for their arrival. I had purchaser the Eco Glow 20 a few weeks prior (fast and reasonable shipping!) and plugged it in a few hours before babies were to arrive. Chicks immediately went under it and seemed to feel very...
