Okay. I decided that I'm getting mostly Brahmas (I used to have them and love them so much) and then a few leghorns for eggs.
I want light and buff brahma hens and a light rooster. What can I expect crossing the buffs and the lights? I'm hoping it won't be something funky
I had chickens for a while and had to sell them because I wanted to free range and my poor little silkies and sebright mixes wouldn't survive in the the great outdoors (which they hated).
So what is a good breed to free range? I am looking to get about 20 chickens. Egg layers. Color isn't...
I have a small black chick. She was nearly identical to a black jersey giant or an australorp chick. Except now her wing feathers are growing in bright white. I am 99% sure she isn't a barred rock. Bred those for a while and her white is placed differently, she lacks a head spot, and she seems...
My lovely horse decided to pick up my camera and absolutely crush it, so I found some identical pictures on google of what my new trio of pullets currently look like . Anyone know what color they will turn out to be? I'm already looking for a roo for them. Shhhh...
I can't care for my wonderful babies anymore and can only keep a few and really need to money. I can't ship but am located in Bloomington, Indiana.
Ancona Drake- $6
Swedish Blue female- $6
Silkie Pullet (laying)- $6
Silkie Rooster (missing one toe due to dog attack but unaffected and very...
I havent been on here in a long time and wanted to pop in and say hello. There are so many new people! Welcome to BYC, guys! The horse I recently got, Poppy, is doing amazing and we have bonding so well. I took her to a jumping show and we got forth on an 8 jump course. She is no longer "crazy"...
I am unable to show because I dont have a contester and really need to money to pay for Poppy. I am selling my two year old filly and my two saddles to pay for her. Here are links to each. Email for pictures of the filly. BY THE WAY- I have an amazing palomino for sale. She is five years old...

edited to add- the spot on her hip is where other cow's have been licking her
Ok, well my three ducklings hatched and two are still drying off in the brooder. I did not assist but there is still blood all over the brooder, all over the chicken eggs I have in there...Is is okay to clean the eggs? How do I clean the brooder?
Yes, this is about horses and the first time something gets out of hand, the insults start flying, or anything of the like, I'm sure any mod would be willing to close this one as well.
ok, after a long discussion with my mom about horses and where we want to go with each of ours we came to an...
I think....What is this? This baby just hatched and I have no clue what is wrong! I posted this on the Other Poultry section but it is an emergency and I need help now if it is possible that I could lose my duckling!
I heard heartbeats inside three eggs. This morning, one pipped and is getting MUCH further along fast! From what I can see it looks to have a golden head and a dark body. If these three hatch that would be 3/8 which isn't bad at all for my first time with duck eggs AND they are shipped, so...
My mare is 17, swaybacked, and will do anything for me. She has jumped 3 1/2 feet (around there), an accomplished barrel racer, and really tough.
BUT
She can't possibly be ridden anymore without all boots and bell boots on because she trips over herself. She doesn't move pretty. She has a...
Saw the sad title thing worked for someone else! Actually it is a very happy story with a very lucky baby!
I put 8 of my chickens' eggs in the bator sometime last month. They started hatching Wednesday and I've gotten one a day. The baby on day two died, which leaves me with four. Two have...
Guess if this chick is going to be Silkie feathered like the dad or regular like the mom. Mom was a brahma and dad was silkie. Here she is...

By the way, she has feathered feet and five toes on each. I'll let you all know who wins when she starts to feather...
Late last night, our 30+ year old gelding (we've had him 20 years) layed down and couldn't get up. He passed away with a little help from our vet this morning. I remember being a toddler and riding him down to the lake with my mom. Two of our mares stood by his gravesite all day. My mare...
Big Mama and Peter and going to be parents! Both of which were survivors and now are going to be parents! A pip! A pip! This baby (if it does okay) will be a Silkie/Buff Brahma mix! Can't wait to see how it turns out! Got tweezers and paper towels ready! How long until I know something isn't...
