Hi
I have 4 roosters that are needing new homes. They are PET quality, not breeding quality so they are priced as such. They are gentle, just have been dewormed, and the older boys are ready to guard your girls as they free range. I will entertain best offers and will discount if all are...
1 breeding quad of wade jeane marans - hatched in Janurary by Tommy Culpepper before he sold the flock to Mr. Terry Mitchell. It is getting harder and harder to find pure Wade Jeane marans literally right from the source. Mr. Charles Logan is no longer taking orders for those (from my first hand...
Ok - I am not trying to whine and cheese because I am hurt and angry about it. I cleaned house for better stock after corresponding with various breeders - and now finding out the are not selling birds (or selling a few) or basically just being ignored. It does make it harder to find quality...
I am sure this has posted before but since I am kinda in a rush I wil post again (cant find it on the first page or health forum so I figure I will post it here).
I recieved 18 marans chicks a couple weeks ago. They are two weeks old this past Monday. I lost total of 6 to this date, I have...
I am just curious - did anybody notice on how 15 chicks huddle in one corner of the shipping box? That is ALOT of room in the box to fill out.
I have never shipped 15 chicks (had 26 shipped and that is plenty of warmth in that box).
So I am just curious on how everyone's experiences are...
Does anybody here have Foleys BLRW breeding stock that they can sell/ship chicks from?
I am still looking for a pair or trio of BLRWs for local pick up but it looks like there is literally no option. :(
I do not need 25 though! (can ship 15).
Thanks
Does anybody have any pics or ideas on their flock pens?
I have been thinking of using old feed silos (cut in a half of course) for the flock houses and having square pens. A local bantam breeder uses them (but they were in the center of the round pens, which does make the bantams difficult...
Rather than depend on the broody hens, I am looking for an incubator. But the problem is that i am only starting out and would only like to hatch 100 eggs at a time and build from there. I realize I probably will need 2 different incubators (i.e. when 1 is in lock down use another one if...
I have noticed some of the brids here have bands, so I am curious on what is your banding system?
Do you use different colors and different numbers?
Always learning about chickens and having fun!
Thanks.
Hello - I know this has been discussed here before, but rather than bringing an old thread up. I would like to know if anybody in USA has been breeding those birds? All I have found is in UK by google.
Thank so much.
I am just curious on other people's opinons on obtaining chicks from a hatchery versus breeders?
I am looking for quality birds an I know hatcherys are a production line versus selective breeding, but there may be a chance of one or two really good ones out of, say a dozen. I have not been...
I am considering raising quail seperately from the chicken flock. I do not have the experience but was told they are very difficult to raise?
I do have a large enclosed pen that they could use as a flight pen as well.
Pros and cons?
Thanks.
Hello everyone! Excuse the screen name - it was due to the lack of imagination!
I am from Georgia and became really interested in chickens a couple of years ago after seeing how much fun they are when a friend has them. Now that friend has passed on and I take care of them for the wife. She...
