    Prairie Flower Block Swap

    yes, I did. I did the circles around the name in an attempt to go with the sea theme of the fabrics & the rest was stippling (small & normal). thank you! It didn't take me long to figure out I could machine piece WAY more tops than I could afford to have long arm quilted or hand quilt ;). I...

    If they are are that young then they haven't fully gotten into the "groove" of laying yet. Once they get going you should expect eggs through the winter.

    All my older hens have either slowed way down or stopped. Its the time of year, some are mottling, the days are getting shorter, etc. Most pullets will lay through the winter & breeds known for egg laying will also lay more. Some people put a light in the coop & turn it on for X amount of...

    *Buff Orpington Thread!*

    Sorry but I can't help on the Lily question. Its seems like I read something some where along the line but can't remember. I have a hen that was attacked through the fence by what I suspect was either a raccoon or opossum and she still has "swelling" around the eye that was injured (it has...

    Nothing but a guess on the sexing question but at this point in the first set of pics you posted I would lean towards cockerels on the first pic, one beside green waterer, and last pic one on left. Please take with a big grain of salt because I had 2 blues that I was sure one cockerel and one...

    As for feed we have found that our local feed store has better prices and carry's a Purina regional mix. Have you checked any local feed stores in Sevierville? I know there is at least one but can't remember where. We tried a feed store up toward Morristown (can't remember the name right...

    x2! I think when the vet advises to euthanize its the best thing for the animal. It is ultimately up to you to decide and I too wish you both the best.

    He was a nice boy and not culling early is good advice if there is any hope for one. The ones I culled very early on had faults no amount of time would have corrected. If there is any hope I keep them but at a certain point I eliminate the so/so or inferior ones to concentrate my resources on...

    x2! I am also curious if you take blacks only from breeding blues how long would it take breeding those blacks together before it would be an all black line? or does this not happen? I mean will they always carry the genetics from the blues or will selective breeding eliminate or at the very...

    Post Pics Of Orps/ Orpingtons HERE

    As I am new to this I have never seen a true black line of Orps. All my blacks have come from blues. All my blacks show lacing in their feathers in the correct light which I think is good for blues. Another thing if I understand correctly due to the red/gold in the blacks breeding it is...

    Thank you both. I try to take the best care of them I can, this weekend is worming & external parasite treatment, I will also start deciding on which ones go to conditioning pens. I think I have a pic of a little pullet that is quite a bit younger than him where the sheen shows better. She is...
