That's what the shipper and I was afraid of because the mailman who delivered them Aparently can't read FRAGILE HANDLE WITH CARE! He kept tossing them so much I had to take them from his hands... This makes me mad... Man I don't want to tell her none where any good and that I give up.... :'(
I was given 14 rare breed and rare breed mix eggs and I seem to never have luck with them... Every last one looks as if it has water and moving air pockets... What could cause this? I was sent these because of all my rotten luck with breeders and it's gonna stink to just give up and tell her...
I have 4 leghorns, 7 EE 3 Buff and 4 RIR that all used to get mated by my rooster but it seems lately he is not mating with my leghorns. All summer almost all of my eggs where fertile except a few here and there. Now it seems I can't get a fertile leghorn to save my life. The leghorns are not...
I have a 2 week old chick eating sun up to sun down. After a couple hours it looks like she has swelled half her size. (Not quite that big but pretty big.) But by morning it's flat again. Is this normal for her to eat so much?
She is an odd bird to say the least. And she does have company. Just not other chicks. She didn't seem to care for other chicks when she had them in her box with her. Like just now I was laying on my couch and I was startled by her she managed to get out of her box and fly over to me on the...
Thanks every one for all your input only thing is there are no more chicks but her.... I got rid of a bunch then her hatch mate died. So I had to put in a heating pad in her brooder she loves and if I talk to her for a moment she does good. She seems to like her new living conditions with the...
She is way to small to be outside. She has other chicks with her, 3 baby hatches with her and has had older ones that leave my house tomorrow. She is way to petite to go out at 4 weeks she just comes over the one week old hatches. But all other chickens are leaving here because they where just...
OK crazy story then a question.... I have a very small AC chick who we put into a bird cage and got it all set up for her because we don't want her out yet because she is so small.... We have her sitting close to our Cockatiels so she can have company. Well they sit and chirp at each other or...
OK here is the thing I have been learning about and I know with my mixed breeds I am OK but with harder to incubate and get to stay alive eggs... Not such a good idea... I ran an experiment on mixed breeds I got from my dad and he does not date his eggs so I had no idea how long they havd been...
I had two just die on me this week. They were pretty young still and I am thinking one had a little bit of problems anyway. The first one seized and died in my hands... the second one was fine running around in the brooder just doing it's normal everyday thing. At 2:30 AM when I checked them...
I know this post is old but I thought I would put this out there for people who may still be looking for Posts like this.... I have an Pure Breed AC and it was born with white flecks in its wing (Which I love) And white on its chest that is now darkening. I also spoke with a man who owns one and...
