Hi everyone. I'm located in Bedminster PA. Wanted to ask if there is a place where I can rent a chicken plucker. I have about 8 birds that need to be processed and plucking by hand is getting a bit much. lol Thanks in advance.
My hen is broody. She has no eggs, but has been taking eggs from other birds (not fertile). I have turkey eggs due to hatch any day now. Should I give her 1-2 eggs to hatch or can I give her freshly hatched poults under her?
Wasn't able to hold all 13 Bourbon Red poults, So my daughter decided to pull out two birds to play with. They are so funny. They didn't want to walk around. Instead, they wanted to follow us and perch on us to cuddle. Goofy birds.
I think the boy is on the left and girl on right. Size kinda...
Some of my Olive eggers 17 weeks old. No eggs yet and no crowing yet.....
I think this one is a Pullet - and yes she was trying to sun bathe in 92F weather.
When I checked their wings for sexing, This is what they are from left to right.
Girl, Boy, Girl, Boy.
I am using this product as well. Sadly I think it's got GMO's in it. But not sure? And yes, they only come in pellets. My silkies will not eat pellets so I end up buying two different brands of food. I asked the owner of AGWAY in Dublin PA (Dave) and he said they don't make crumbles, but if...
Still can't tell if mine are hens or roos. they are now 17 weeks old! Their parants where BCMs x EE.
None of them started to crow yet... Combs are red.
I'm looking to trade same breed. But I will be selling him as I found someone local who works with this breed and is selling their 12 week ol rooster. I'm willing to sell this guy for $15. He's very curious, and friendly. If you're still interested let me know.
Out of 6 birds, I was lucky to get 5 hens and 1 roo. Sadly I don't wish to breed him to his sisters, so I'd like to trade or Sell this lovely young roo.
Willing to drive 2 hours to do the exchange.
He is greenfire line.
I am located in Bedminster, Bucks County PA.
Thank you for looking
