    When does 'peep' turn to 'bok'?

    hahaha in my experience it happens gradually... around 8 weeks old. kinda funny to hear them making the transition ...once they grow up, eventually you'll miss the peeping!

    What breeding projects are you working on or you want to work on.

    Quote: GORGEOUS! I want to breed a similar bird, but I'm thinking of: blue wheaton ameraucana roo x barnevelder hen... in the hopes that my birds will look like tls_ranch's, but lay olive eggs. what do ya think?

    I'm going to kill my husband

    I have WHAT in my yard? : Tell him to wear a bra for the next 21 days with one egg in each cup. They probably won't fit in your bator so he's gonna have to do the incubating the old fashioned way. Try really hard not to snicker while telling him all of this with a perfectly straight face...

    Can you see anything in her throat? Is she pooping normally? I wouldn't force feed her if she looks like she is choking...

    People are so ungrateful

    Totally agree!!! If she doesn't appreciate what he's doing for her (which she obviously doesn't!) then she can find somebody else to do the job, end of story! She sounds extremely rude and ungrateful. Your husband doesn't need to deal with that BS. Blow her off!

    Intergration help

    Definitely wait until they are the same size. I lost a cochin pullet last spring because I integrated her too early. All was fine for about a week, and then BAM- the older ones pecked her to death. I don't mean to scare you, but you should keep a close watch. Even once they are the same size...

    Easter eggers..... do u know what colors the egg will be???

    I agree with FireTigeris. If you want some EEs that lay different shades of blue/green... get a few of them. I have two EEs- one lays more greenish eggs and one lays more bluish ones. You can also get Olive-eggers (EEs crossed with a brown-egg laying breed)- which lay very nice darker eggs

    sick welsummer- please help!

    well I massaged her crop and left her under the heat lamp overnight, and this morning she seemed like her usual self again- walking around clucking at me, she even ate some yogurt. My only guess is that maybe she ate too many pine needles, and it made her sick? At any rate, she seems to be...

    sick welsummer- please help!

    My 8 month old welsummer pullet is acting very lethargic- she is currently isolated from the others, lying under a heat lamp in the garage. Her comb and wattles are a little dark and the wattles look shrunken. She will stand up if i pick her up, but only takes a couple of steps until she lays...

    when to worm

    I want to de-worm my flock for the first time this fall- I have not seen any evidence of worms but I feel its better to be safe than sorry. Should I do it before they molt or after? I'm planning on using wazine or something similar. My girls are a mix of 1.5 year olds and 4 month olds. thanks

    favorite hatchery?

    I've ordered from Ideal & McMurray. I would definitely recommend Ideal all the way- I've never had any DOAs or sick birds and their customer service is awesome. Can't say enough good things about them. I have gotten DOAs from McMurray however (they shipped over the weekend...!) so I won't be...

    catching a chicken?

    We caught her!!!! DH made a trap out of our strawberry cage (with cracked corn inside), and I waited in the garage until she went for it... pulled the string and the door went down, and that was that! Soooo glad we caught her, because it would have been impossible to follow her through all that...

    catching a chicken?

    thanks for the advice- I will try to see where she roosts, but the woods/bushes she's hiding in are VERY dense and she's tough to follow. I'll give it a try though! She is 3 months old, and has been in the "baby coop" the entire time. I guess that first taste of freedom was just too much for...

    catching a chicken?

    I've got a few young pullets that went outside for the first time the other day- and one ameraucana decided that she's not coming back to the coop. Don't think she knows where home is yet. Anyway, she's still hanging around though- I see her a few times a day, darting around under the bushes by...
