I used them last year for broilers and SLWs, between the neighbor and I we got 150 broilers, half died w/in the 1st week and the others grew very poorly. And this was between 2 people raising, 2 different ways. I gave all the SLWs away the 1st day as they ALL had single combs.
I ordered some last spring, only 8, but had various colors of brown, gold, gold/blue and solid white. not bad for only 8 birds. The problem I had is they were extremely wild and as chicks they picked each others and the other chicks eyelids off. I culled 4 for doing that.
Hi, I would like to get some quality Buckeyes in very early 2011.
One option I have is driving to Duane Urch's to pick up 15 chicks (he's about 4 hours away), but he hatches Mondays, can't give me an exact date, he said he'd call me the morning they are ready. Well, I work full time M-F as...
I've had great luck with Meyer on 3 chick orders
luck with McMurry on the one time I used them
Excellent luck with broilers from Sunnyside
Don't like Ideal one bit - dead or very poor chicks, both times I tried
Privett bad luck too. They squished the eye out of two ducklings while sexing or...
Looking to buy some good quality hatching eggs in 2011.
Looking for LF SLWs, exhibition quality, not hatchery
Also partridge bantams, good quality as well.
please email me at [email protected] if you have or know of reliable sources for these. Thanks!
figured more Wyandotte people...
I ordered Aussie Spots 2 yrs ago and sold them at 4 mos. old, but they were great to work with. I put down a deposit about 6 mos prior and had to back out due to personal issues, but they allowed me that credit to use. They are super friendly and helpful. The ducklings were very nice but very...
I'm hoping someone can answer a few questions I have on Ameraucanas. I was planning on getting LF W/BW eggs to hatch in early 2011. However, I found another forum that has me concerned about how healthy these birds are. There were a handful of WELL KNOWN breeders on there talking about their...
Got my new (first ever!) Brinsea incubator and itching to break it in with bantam ameraucanas! Looking for a dozen show quality eggs. Located in Wisconsin. [email protected]
Yes, I handled them as youngsters and we couldn't get w/in 30 ft of them by the time they were 2 mos. old. This last batch I got from Meyers, pretty birds but as 3 day old chicks they were actually picking each others eyelids off and just freaky little chicks (the other breed with them was...
Hi, I'm deciding what show quality bantam breed to go with and wondering how the bantam Ameraucanas are temperment wise. I've had EEs and they are FLIGHTY! I really like muffed/bearded birds and want a clean legged so really narrow choices. Bantam Ameraucanas are definately gorgeous! It seems...
Hi wyandotte breeders and lovers! I'm looking into getting some good breeding (or exhibition) quality Wyandotte eggs to hatch out in my new incubator and I'm wondering if there is any temperment difference between the Wyandotte color varieties. I love BLRWs (who doesn't!?) but they seem quite...
yep enablers! DH said I could never buy an incubator. But, right after I read this thread, my wonderful mommy text me from her new home in MT (she feels bad she left me even tho I"m well grown and married 11 yrs lol!) asking what I want for x-mas. well, gee golly, an incubator I replied...
looking to get started in a little breed - i currently have Speckeled Sussex and Buff Brahma Bantams (both hatchery stock, but nice looking and healthy birds). I've narrowed it down to Belgian D'Anvers and Seramas. Which breed is friendlier, easier to breed and the best natural broody? Also...
looking for a new rooster and possibly a hen/pullet to keep him company while in quarantine for my little backyard flock of brahmas. Prefer driving distance from central WI (54446) under 4 hrs, but may ship the right one. Please email me only at [email protected] thanks!
There was an ad on 10/14 on the Minneapolis CL for a show breeder of quality (and tested free MS & MG!!) Brahma bantams, Seramas and calls. I've emailed the person twice and no response. Does anyone know who this is? There town was just on the North edge of the Cities. Please EMAIL ME...
