    DNA sexing.

    I recently used iq bird testing. Less expensive than most and was very easy. I even texted them a few questions and they quickly texted back. I do recommend having the the package tracked. I used ups. I received the results in 3 days. It’s great on the breeds that take so long to show obvious...

    Hi Susan ~ I’m in falls church city. The pullets I’m asking $30 each. And one pullet is blue and one is splash. I don’t have an exact picture right now, but the photos I currently have will give you an idea. Let me know if you want more pictures of the actual pullets for sale.

    @chickengoggles I had good luck posting on Craigslist when I end up with roosters ~ I can’t have them in my city. And I’ve been told putting flyers up in places like Southern States is also a worthwhile effort. I would charge money on Craigslist to keep people honorable. Good luck! He’s a...

    When are chicks old enough to be outside during the day?

    I brood indoors but once it gets 40 or up, I let them explore in a pen outdoors with a heater. I check on them and make sure they aren’t huddled under the heater and/or making distressed cheeps. It was windy yesterday and only got up to 50 so I checked on them more frequently and they were...

    Chicks.... 15% to 25% protein, which?!

    My first chicks had the vaccine so I couldn’t use the medicated feed and even though I’ve now gotten chicks from other breeders, I’ve never switched over to medicated chick feed and always feed organic. I love scratch and peck starter which is 20.5% but supplement Modesto chick feed which is...

    Partridge Silkie Babies Genders

    If you are in a hurry, you can send feathers, blood or if you still have them, their egg shells in for dna sexing. Their are several online companies if you do a google search. A few off the top of my head is Iqbirdtesting.com that charges $12 and animal genetics (I believe it’s called) which...

    Pop up Excersise Pen/Kennel for Brooder

    My second go around using that puppy pen for 8 chicks. Works great! I put it on a table this time and like it being up higher personally. It is light weight so it’s easy for me to set up and since it folds, its simple to store. Highly recommend! Best wishes:love

    Black rock or black copper maran?

    Either way it seems you’ll end up with a special hen! I’ve never heard of a black rock but I’ve had a rock and a RIR and they are the best layers! It’ll be obvious when she lays so do keep us posted~ I like to know if I guessed right :clap
