    Thanks everyone. It's been tough. I really hate getting great lines then having accidents or health issues come up. :( I do not like loosing any birds of course. So far today, before 5, everyone of my girls is doing fine. I check on my muscovy and her clutch. She wasn't there, she was...

    It's been a terrible 2 weeks for me and birds. I lost my beautiful BO. I had a broody hen that I wanted to get chicks for. cbnovick and pastrymama were kind enough to share some rare birds with me. I had gotten sulmtalers and brahmas from pastrymama and some blue and brown Orpingtons from...

    Frizzle Cochin Pullet or Roo?

    Oh yes, he is a roo. He was rehomed months ago when he started to crow. He loves his new home and has a handful of girl friends.

    What breed are these three?

    I am very happy with those two answers. I am thinking the third is a Mottled something.

    What breed are these three?

    Last week I had an urgent need to get some chicks and get them fast. I had two broody hens decide to start fighting over eggs when the chirping started. I ended up loosing two eggs and two chicks during the fight. One mama hen lost her privilege to parent. These three chicks were purchased...

    Broody hen crushed hatch day egg/chick and ate the yolk sak

    Ok, the girls are back together. Buffy had two eggs, one turned out to be a dud. Total of 6 chicks including the 3 I bought. They are all doing and the mama hens seem happy to be back together and doing this as a team. The chicks all seem to like my OEB better than the BO. They'll go under...

    Hopefully you missed it when I went out there to move things around and do some modifications to the fence. My dress blew up and my undies were exposed, no problem had the cam not been going. Then the bucket which the cam is attatched blew over and the camera was facing straight up my skirt...

    Thank you. I am not sure what she is. Picked her up from Adens Hay Oasis back in Sept and she was suppose to be a Buff Orpington but she's a little girl like an Old English Bantam or Serama. Her legs are green tinted but she lays cream brown eggs. Who knows, we still love her. Her wings...

    Broody hen crushed hatch day egg/chick and ate the yolk sak

    We have babies!!! I seperated the girls. I ran to the feed store and got one of the broody's 3 baby chicks, put them under her and left the bantam with the eggs. Well she didn't take a liking to the babies and would peck at them so I covered the brooder with blankets indoors and she left them...

    Broody hen crushed hatch day egg/chick and ate the yolk sak

    They had their own clutches. These two girls have been close buddies since I brought them home in Sept as chicks. The EOB went broody first and she got the 6 eggs. Within days her buddy, BO, took up broody in the box next to her and I place 3 of the eggs from the EOB under her. Last week I...

    Broody hen crushed hatch day egg/chick and ate the yolk sak

    EMERGENCY: So upset right now. Today is hatch day with my broodies and their 6 eggs. 5 barnyard mix EE's and 1 bantam barnyard mix. I traded 6 infertile eggs for the farm's possibly fertile eggs. I went out earlier this morning to check on the girls and their eggs and all was well. 2 hours...

    My broody buddies and the pen I built them yesterday. Each girl has three eggs. I moved them out of the nesting boxes and put their eggs on each side of this rolling paper storage box. After they got settled into their new home they moved their eggs together and are sitting together like they...

    I got my ducks yesterday. Thank you to Sonora silkies. They seem to be settling in just fine and seem to be pretty happy. Last night when the chickens went to bed the ducks went under the chicken coop. This was great because I was able to lock them in to the run and keep them safe. This morning...

    I know I've been missing for ever. Been tending the microfarm. I put in a small garden, have started raising quail but have come to realize that the flies are out of control and remembered that I learned on here that muscovy ducks take care of that for us. So, while hubby is working in DC I...

    Definatly NOT a Buff Orpington...what am I?

    I think I've figured it out. Looks just like this http://www.bantamclub.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pid=574 White Game Hen. She's got those 'duckwing' type feathers but you can't see it because she's such a great flier that I have clipped her wings. She can fly up and over a 5 ft...

    The Orpington is the same size as my adult hens. Bigger than my standard leghorns, but she had green legs and very small :o)
