I had a 20 week old Plymouth Rock x Cochin rooster that I found dead yesterday morning. He had to have died in the night. He was still in the coop and rigor had come and gone. Mr. Fluffy Butt had no wounds, no broken neck, nothing. I looked his whole body over and could find nothing wrong with...
Yesterday my son's female blue swedish hatched out 15 ducklings. This is her second 100% hatch!!! I need to sell 13 of the 15. Most look to be pure blue swedish, however there is a fawn and white indian runner drake in the pen, so I can not say 100% that they are pure. The male blue swedish is...
My new chickens are starting to lay!!! I don't know who did it but today I got 2 eggs. The pen has cuckoo marans, red crested red polish, white crested blue polish, a couple rhode island reds and a couple langshans. Both eggs were small but that's just because they're pullet eggs. One was off...
my dogs would've been loose and in someone else's yard!!! This isn't really about a predator or a pest, though he was making a pest of himself.
My son comes in and tells me that one of our dinners (roosters) is in the pen with our dogs. Our dogs are always penned up. Always!! I told him that...
Well then here's what you do, tell me a funny joke or story (KEEP IT CLEAN, PLEASE). I'll pick the funniest one and that will be the winner!
There are really no rules. You can tell me your joke/story but still want to nominate someone else. As long as they will want the eggs that's fine with...
lots of eggs!!!! I have 6 guinea eggs that are developing and due to hatch June 22 or 23. I have 14 BBS Ameracauna eggs that I got from McSpin. I have 15 Showgirl eggs that I got from fowlrus for my DD. Plus another 8 eggs from my own chickies. Three OEGB, two Golden Laced Bantam Cochins and...
I have pure Bantam Golden Laced Cochin eggs available to anyone who wants some. These are great little chicken. All 3 of our hens went broody a few months ago when they were barely 8 months old. They were the best mommas. If you would like to see pics, I can email them to you. It just takes sooo...
I've got a full incubator so I thought I'd see if anyone would like some guinea eggs. I have several in my incubator developing nicely. I have 1 male pearl guinea in a pen with 1 pearl hen and 1 slate hen. I have pics that I can email you if you would like, I just don't have the time to upload...
I have an explosion of ducklings that need a new home. I would like to get $2 a duckling, however I am open to trades and/or negotiations(sp?). I have 2 drakes, one Crested Blue Swedish and the other is a Fawn and White Indian Runner. The ducks are an Uncrested Blue Swedish and a Buff. It's...
I have no idea whether I should be concerned or not. I searched but didn't find an answer, sooo now I'm throwing it out there for all of you smart people to answer.
I have a duck that hatched out ducklings(7). She is enclosed in a pen within her and her buddies original pen. I put it up when it...
One of my guineas finally laid an egg!!!!! I've been waiting and waiting and waiting. People who live in Ohio and PA have gotten guinea eggs. I live in NM, it's been hot, no eggs! This morning 1 egg!!!! I've got 2 guinea hens and 1 roo. I want more. Now hopefully Romeo is doing his job and...
I have 7 chickies that are about 8 weeks old that would like a new home. I don't know what their sex is but I suspect that 3 are roos. I also have an abundance of broody hens. These guys momma has hatched out 3 clutches in about 9 months. The smallest clutch was 6, the biggest was 10. She is an...
We had 5, yes 5, hens go broody 1 after another!!! They've all hatched out their eggs, except we had to give 1 hen babies because her eggs never hatched and she wouldn't give up. We had to scramble around fixing cage after cage to put the mommas and babies into. We finally got everyone...
My order from MM was supposed to ship Mon. 4/6 but instead it arrived Sun. 4/5 and the poor babies spent 3 hours out in the cold (37 degrees) before anyone got to the PO to bring them inside. We had 4 die just past the 48 hour cut off MM has for reporting dead babies! Most of these chicks are...
and he is in critical condition! My husband is on a job repairing someone's floor and he leaves his cell phone in the truck. I've no idea of the address so I can't just go there and tell him. So now I'm sitting here dreading his returning my call because I know he's going to be DEVESATED...
I'm not ready to buy any, YET! But I'd like to find out who has any and how much they would cost. I'm wanting these for my 7 1/2 year old daughter. I don't need show quality these would be pets. My 5 year old son has OEGB that he ADORES!!! I won't have any money for a couple of weeks but that...
I am starting this post so that those of us who hatched out chickies with eggs traded on the Designer Egg Swap thread could show off our new babies!!! I got eggs from gamebirdsonly and yesterday was day 21. I've got 5 babies with 1 egg still in the incubator. I either hatched out of a LF...
Last night was one of the absolute worst of my life. Before I get to that though I'll add some background info. The week after my youngest daughter's 1st birthday she had a seizure. About two hours before she felt a little warm and was fussing, so I checked her temp (99.3) and went ahead and...
We are somewhat overrun with roos. I have 2 white crested black polish roos, 2 black cochin roos and 5 xbreed cochins roos. The need to go. We'll be ordering new chicks in a couple of weeks, so it would be nice if they were all gone. I also know some one who has 3 Andalusians roos that need a...
I will be traveling through parts of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado on my way home to southern New Mexico. I was wondering if anyone in NW Montana, eastern Wyoming or down I-90/I-25 in Colorado has any call ducks or call duck eggs that they would like to sell. Thanks so very much! Heather:fl
