3 Seabright bantam roosters hatched in March. 2 Silver and 1 golden. Willing to meet 25 miles from Big Rapids. One or all, I have too many. My poor hens are getting worn out. LOL
Beautiful!! Glad you're enjoying the "wild" birds. Out of the seven chicks I got at TSC 2 are silver seabright roosters. Would anyone like them? I have too many roosters and need to get rid of them. Would be glad to meet you somewhere. They were hatched in March.
Laura,
Sorry to hear that you decided to get rid of your flock. How are you feeling?
Sorry I haven't been in touch. Had a hard summer around here with my chickens. Racoons killed ten of my babies. 2 Moms and 8 babies. Then I had those little red mites and worked hard to get rid of them...
Hi from Big Rapids, Michigan. We live in the middle of 15 acres just outside the city limits. We're close to shopping but feel we are in the country. We're back 300 feet from the road so we have lots of room for our chickens to roam.
My husband teaches French at Ferris State University and I...
Would anyone like a couple of free roos. I have 4 and eleven hens (bantams) so I need to get rid of a couple. The father is a lavender orpington and the mothers are a seabright and mille fleur. They were hatched in May. It was so much fun watching the mothers raise them, much different than...
What do your EE's look like? Are EE's a certain breed? I have a lavender orphington and a mille fleur cross breed, does that mean I could get a colored egg? Green would be so cool:weee
My little seabright decided she is broody too. I think she's jealous of the three that hatched theirs 3 weeks ago. I said no more this season but I thought I had to be fair so I gave her 5 eggs. It sure is fun watching the mamas with their babies.
Here are some pictures of the new chicks with their mamas enjoying the sunshine with their mamas (less than a week old). I want to thank everyone on this thread that helped me so much.
I moved my broody with her four chicks to a dog carrier in the run last night. Its enclosed with roof, plastic and straw around sides but its only been in the 30's at and 40's during the day.
Mama is keeping them warm but here I am at 5:30 am getting ready to go out and put a heat lamp on. I've...

Thanks. You are so right. When I got home tonight she has a little chick and another pipped. This is so exciting. Have you ever hatched eggs before with a broody?
My two banties were due to hatch yesterday. One has 4 babies but no action from the other clutch. If my other banty doesn't hatch soon could I give her two of the other bantys'
chicks or is this not a good solution?. If I have to go buy day olds at TSC I'll have to get 6. What do you think...
I have 3 broody banties. 2 are due to hatch today. So far 2 have hatched from one but the other nothing yet. They're all in their own nesting box...just leave them til they all hatch? Then move them to a dog crate with their own food and water? How long should I give her other three eggs to...
