I'm feeding him the scratch and peck grower chicken feed. I am going to get him some vitamins now but i've been trying to get him to drink and he just pulls his head back.
My favorite rooster started acting funny today. I went to feed the chickens this morning and noticed he did not come running. When he started walking towards me he kept walking to the left and his head was turned. He looks as though he is watching everything behind him. I'm so worried about...
The latest batch that the breeder gave me is no good. I've candled them and not a single one is developing. I'm so disappointed but at least I got two from the first set. I still can't believe that our of 21 lemon cuckoo niederrheiner hatching eggs only 2 developed and hatched. If anyone...
She did show me the parents the first time but honestly I didn't get a good look. There was 10+ chickens in a tiny chicken coop. We mostly walked by all her coops and she just pointed out what she put in my egg cartons. I'm definitely not going to buy from her again. I just feel bad for...
I also set 9 lemon cuckoo eggs yesterday around 4pm. I've never tried the dry method but I've heard people having success with it. Good luck with your hatch!
Update. SO the good news is all 6 eggs hatched, the bad news is I have a few chicks that are supposed to be pure bred but I have some doubts. One chick came from blue egg maked cream legbar but when it hatched, it looked nothing like a cream legbar. I posted the photo of the chick in a cream...
Hello, I just received some replacement eggs and I was wondering if I should try to wipe some of the poop off or leave it. Any advice would be appreciated.
Could someone tell me if I have a cream legbar chick. I bought some hatching eggs but I don't think the black one is pure. I have three others that are for sure girls but the black one is making me scratch my head.
Could someone tell me if the black chick with the white dot a legbar chick. I bought some hatching eggs and they were sold as pure cream legbar but I've never seen a black legbar. I posted in the what breed/ gender but don't have any soild answers. Thank you in advance.
Hello,
I hatched four legbar chicks and 3 are definitely girls but I’m not sure about the fourth. It is almost black with a dots on its head. IS this even a cream legbar or possibly a mix? It came out of a blue egg but I’ve never seen a black cream legbar chick. Thank you.
I thought I would give you an update. I emailed her last night and she wrote back this morning. This is what she wrote, " I actually just gave them a fluffy butt feather trim which helps with fertility. I’m happy to get you some additional eggs." I'm so glad I used your script and I will...
If I was offered replacement, I would definitely accept it. The breeder advertises on her website and Craigslist for rare hatching eggs. When I purchased the eggs, I was hoping to hatch 10 of the 25 eggs. I ordered three different breeds but she gave me extras of another breed. The extra...
I have bought shipped eggs before and was shocked when 19 out of 23 hatched so I assumed having local eggs would produce even better results. I didn't even think to check the eggs when I picked them up because I have had good results with other eggs from her. I will definately ask more...
That's such a great way to look at it. There is one particular breed I am excited to hatch and she gave me 12 of those eggs but only two show delevopment. I'm hoping they hatch and both are girls. Thanks again for the advice.
