Thanks so much! I had guess the same as you just told me except for my Mr. Roo. #4 pic. Guess I was hoping he was an olive egger so I could keep him since he's a big baby lol. I appreciate your time. 😁
Ok folks. The time has come to make my decisions on which of my roos I'm keeping. I'm having a hard time knowing which are the sapphire Gems and which are saphire olive eggers. I got them March 5th from Hoovers. Had to order 5 roos each of the Americana and sapphire olive eggers as that's what...
My local orschlens gave me an order catalog from Hoovers where they get them. Told me I could have them delivered at my home or at the store and they'd call me when came in.
I raced home and made my "wish list", then pared it WAY down and ordered my 25 chicks lol.
I ordered from Hoovers and lucked out got them the following day and box in good shape. All lived. They are shipped in very obvious holed boxes and I could hear my chicks as soon as I came in the post office. Our rural carrier can't deliver, we have to come into the local post office to pick...
Know this is an extremely old post...wondering if anything was ever announced about this boy/girl?
I have a sapphire olive egger from Hoovers that is a Cockerel (comb) but finally checked his honey as thought he didn't have any tail feathers yet. He does have some. But noticed he has no tail...
Good info to keep in mind. Thanks 🙂. I'm not sure how she got mixed in the barred rock in (from Hoovers or if orschlens employee didn't pay attention. She def had aracauna in her as she had no tail stump at all. She just seemed to have a weaker health from the get go. Did change water couple...
That is the conclusion came to. Thanks. Unfortunately I lost Steve when she was laying her first egg. She got.egg bound. I tried the Epsom warm soak bath, etc. No vet anywhere around here that looks at chickens also unfortunately. So took her to friend with lots chicken experience and they said...
Welp, the OG 8 hens and 1 too (soon to be dumplings as he's gotten very territorial and aggressive towards me) were definitely my babies, but we all know how that chicken math works. Soooo I did a "thing" and March 5th got my order in of 25 not so OG crew members in. 😳🤭
Ordered from Hoovers. Had...
My son's 12 year old grey tabby loves when I hatch or get new chicks. She insists she introduced herself right away and welcomes them to our menagerie. 🙄🤭
I swear some can look as guilty as any person or dog when they get caught doing something they know they not supposed to!! Lol caught one of my americaunas trying to dig along run line (yes set up so nothing can dig in or out but it's the idea I've had serious talks with him about this behavior...
I agree chicks that are shipped during cold with out heat packs is not right. First time ordering this year from Hoovers for a hatch date of March 5. I got them 2 days later and all 25 were chirping and happy. Sad id imagine to open your shipper and find dead birds. I guess I lucked out. Looking...
Good to know. Kind of would like one of my buffs or barred rocks to go broody (yes don't NEED more chickens=I LOVE the chick stage lol) but not holding my breath.
I am able to see the pics fine. They opened right up on my phone. I screenshot them and maybe they'll upload that way for you others be able see?? Not sure why red tho sorry
