My sq buff silkie girls are lonely and need a good quality man in their lives.As long as I am begging- I am also looking for rc nankin girls for a lonely boy, a khaki campbell duck hen and a crested pekin hen.I am in the Greenville area.
I bought a bantam americana pullet at the Camden show about 7weeks ago.She was crawling with mnites and underweight at that time ( shouldn't have gotten her).I quarantined her and the pair if nankins I got that day- and dusted them with DE, treated them with ivermectin pour on...
how old are turkey h ens usually when they start laying? and go broody? I ask because my crazy girl turkey-slated for Christmas dinner but she is not nice and fat like the tom- is setting on a nest.I think the eggs are from chickens or ducks really.I got her as a day old poult this...
I was offered a pup and I of course want every animal in the world-- but thought I should learn more before I decide.ANyone have any experience with this breed?
I am attempting to plan a better way to rear chicks- lotsof chicks.Like groups of 20+ new bantam chicks weekly for roughly 8 weeks or so at a time. Currently I think there are 8 groups from 2 to 24 in the totes- a total of about 65 chicks at the moment inside. Then they will be...
I have 1 black sex link pullet thats just old enough to lay,but apparently she has decided to go broody on all the eggs.Is that "normal" for them? fiest experience with a sex link.
I had a little bagged salad- the good stuff with lots of spring greens in it-left and I thought I would give the older babies a little for a treat. THEY thought it was deadly- they all bunched up in the coprner as far away as possible!When so they like such things?
My house is becoming a chick infirmary! today I noticed a mom raised chicks' eyes looked "funny" I grabbed it to look closer- and yep- its got eye gunk and nasty stuff on its shoulders.I seem to recall somewhere that means a respiratory infection of some sort. I brought it in and...
I have a little runt silkie chick- it was not growing well with its mom and siblings so as they got bigger I moved it over with a mom with younger babies.Well now that mom is ready to leave her babies (they are about 7 weeks old and she is beginning to lay again).THe runt is half the...
I am overrun with cockerals - silkie and serama. I am sure we can negotiate a really reasonable fee .
I am willing to ship but haven't done it before and have no boxes. thats a few of them- I have a whole other pen. I also have a PET quality pair of seramas that could be had very...
Have to reduce the flock just have too many.I have an add to sell these boys on CL- but for BYC folks-- a real deal. most of the serama boys free, the EE free for sure.(he was supposed to be a she- and I will miss him-we have called him Ruby so he may have some identity issues)I am...
so how do I rid myself of these horrid winged beasts? I got 2 stings and the neighbors dog got stung. I have tobacco'd benadryl'd and baking soda'd myself.My face still is throbbing from one sting
I found a cold apparently dead chick int he silkie broody pent his mornign- I was holding its little body as I went ahead and fed the ones in there- and I noticed it blinked.As it warmed in my hand, it took in a ragged breath. I took it in and plugged in my LG that I use as hatcher/...
one is blue splash, and one is beginning to look lemon blue.I am in Easely.I don't dub. The parents are lemon blue splash and self blue. I so wish they were pullets
while out working on cleaning and doing chicken chores- you think of tons of other things you could do to improve things while you are there? I feel like I could easily work 24/7 on chicken things.Already the coops are cleaner than my house. I was mucking the duck pen when I thought...
we had a storm last night and one of the broodies got soaked- she sat anyway- but I thought it would be best if the eggs weren't in standing water-humidity is one thing-under water is quite another. So I found a similar nest box and prepared it- moved her and the eggs- all 26 then...
I have a pretty buff pullet and a grey cockerel both hatched early this year. THe girl has a slightly crossed beak and the boy has a single comb and 6 toes on one foot- so not for breeding PET quality. I need to move these 2 to a new home soon. I need the space. they are...
