I have 5 Gold Laced Wyandotte chicks and 2 Wyandotte mixed chicks for sale north of Houston. Hatched July 30th. Straight run. $3 each or $20 for all 7. These are not exhibition birds but make lovely layers. The mixes are GLWxBuff Orp or Australorp. Eggs were bought from Outdoorsii.
Need some more chicken advice. My big broody cochin was apparently bitten by the snake that stole the golf balls. I found her in her nest, minus her golf balls about 30 minutes after we killed the snake. Rat snake, so not venomous. Her eye is completely swollen and has scabbed over. I have her...
Not an emergency, but I just candled my guinea eggs that are scheduled to go into lockdown Friday. I have 4 internal pips. Should I go ahead and put them in the hatcher. Humidity in the incy is only at 40. I can't raise it becasue I have SLW in there too that are just a week along. I'm...
I am looking for hatching eggs or birds in Texas close to the Houston area. Eggs can be shipped. I'm wanting to work on my flock and am having a hard time locating non-hatchery flocks that are affordable. Please PM me with what you may have and prices. Pictures of your birds would be great...

I'm looking for large fowl polish. I prefere eggs, just because I love to hatch, but I'm ok with chicks. I'd like to buy from a breeder. If there is a hatchery that has decent birds, I'm open to that too.
I was checking my temp/humidity thing for temp ranges when I got home tonight ,dropped it and made a spider crack in the big end. I read somewhere that someone put wax over the crack and still had the egg hatch. All I had was scented candle wax but I figured it was worth a try. Has anyone tried...
I need help identifying this guy. I know that he is a roo, he's my first to crow. As a chick he had the chipmunk pattern and then he looked a little barnvelderish. Now I have no clue. I'm thinking he may be a mix of something. Any ideas? The second pic is a little blurry but it shows his...
