    Tester Eggs-BCM & Silkie (GA) Sold

    Looking for someone to test a few eggs. So far I have two black copper maran eggs and two silkie eggs. I will continue to collect until shipping but they are not laying consistently so no guarantees that there will be more. If not and you wish to wait that is an option too. The silkies are blue...

    Month Old Chick with No Feathers on Back

    Thank you all so much. He looks a good bit like Tala's little red chick in one of the above posts. I checked him again and I still don't see any mites or lice. His skin looks nice and healthy, just a little bare on the back. I'll try the hard boil eggs too. I've just never had one do that...

    Help Needed with Hen Picking on Others

    She is aggressive. I don't have a way to separate her from the others so she can't see them, just a physical separation in an adjacent pen. When I first got her, I had another hen in with my rooster. I re-homed that hen so the bcm was the only other chicken with the rooster for a while. The...

    Araucanas?

    I have some araucanas that I thought were really EE's, now I'm not sure. I was able to get pictures of two and would like input from those that know the true araucana breed. (I know, not the best picture of the second one)

    Battery Powered Heat Lamp Question

    Where I want to house the chicks I do not have a power source (we're working on that but its too far for an extension cord). It stays pretty warm where I am and the barn they are in holds heat extremely well so the daytime is not a problem. Night time is not bad, but I worry about a...

    What are these chicks? Araucana?EE?JerseyGiant?
