I am searching for a pair of Capuchine pigeons, color not that important, but I'd like nice starter birds that will hopefully produce pretty babies to show.
I live in Austin Texas, so if there are any Texas breeders on BYC, that'd be great. Otherwise, I'd be fine with having birds shipped to...
I have Serama hatching eggs, all pulled from my nests this week... a dozen plus extras! Babies will be smooth, possibly frizzled, and some carrying the silkied gene. Colors include black, exchequer, pumpkin, black tailed buff, dun and mottled. Nice, small typy parent birds. Price is $25 for a...
Ok, Dandydoodle and everyone else! Here we go again! I am going to be getting a new clutch of Serama eggs from Castle Delight Seramas and need hatching buddies! Join the party! Set those eggs...chickens, ducks, turkeys, quail, whatever! Lots of fun! Lots of egg-staring..lots of frazzled nerves...
I have a pretty unique baby, which was part of a July 2nd Serama hatch. She is silkied, for one thing, and now that she is getting her first set of "real" feathers, they are coming in a soft pinkish buff color...very very distinctly pink looking. The few new feathers over her shoulders are a bit...
Well, I am a hatching addict. I hatched out 7 Serama babies on July 2nd and have fallen in love. I will be getting 12+ from Castle Delights Seramas in the week of the 23rd ^..^
Anyone else want to join the set/wait and stare/hatch party??
Before anyone gets all bent out of shape and huffy, this is a tongue-in-cheek posting meant as my odd sense of humor. I have noticed that if a bird is not instantly recognizable as a certain breed, it becomes "an EE!!!" in the "what is it??" forum. I notice this a lot, and I giggle whenever...
I decided to try to get some pictures of my bantams today...since they are small enough to dart through my chain link fence, I don't let them run loose. Sooo I took photos thru the fencing of their run. My odd little Polish, Spaz, loves the camera...as you will see.
Dragon and Stormy (Splash...
Ok, so I have suspected my blue Silkie, Mizuki, of being a little cockerel for quite some time now. He and his hatchmate Misumi are right at 18 weeks old, and he has just recently started sporting a pretty impressive little comb. I had JUST posted to my facebook this morning stating that I...
Backstory here...I hatched out some modern game bantam eggs and ended up with two chicks. One of them, Diva, is healthy and bouncy, but the other had badly curled feet so I ended up culling it yesterday. Diva had been sad and lonely and LOUD, till I went and bought a friend for her...a HUGE...
That they want to be a volunteer in your choice to thin your flock so you can concentrate on less various breeds.
Backstory: I have been thinking of focussing on Silkies and bantams rather than full sized birds, I do have my favorites in my big girls...my Cuckoo Marans (who is so sweet and...
I am looking for 6-8 MGB eggs from nice parent stock to add more birds to my tiny flock of 5 plus two still in eggs. No color preference, just something from nice looking birds. I will be looking to set right at the first of June. Please contact me with price, pictures of parents and any other...
I have an issue with my 7 week old MGB boys...I thought I would be able to keep at least two roos...but my lemon blue splash baby has been picked on...I put neosporin and blue food color on his neck where he was picked at, but I went out to check them and the obvious little cockerel and the...
I bought some MGB eggs and I have two out of 8 which have veins and development...the thing is, I can see two distinct dark spots in one of the eggs (and it looks like both move, although if one is moving, it could make it look as if both are, I suppose). O.o Might there be twin fetuses in...
So I decided to trim my little cross beak Sillkies beak...it bled a bit and of course the other girls wanted to pick at it..I brought her in to hang out until the bleeding stops and here we are! This is her enjoying special time with Mommy :D
This baby is gorgeous, and I am hoping is a pullet. Spaz is 6 weeks old, and the only thing that makes me nuts is figuring out what color this little critter is!!
I bought this baby from a mixed *Oriental Bantam* bin at Callahans feed store (they get their chicks from Ideal)...I kind of thought it was going to be a Polish or something when I got it since it had a very distinctive *topknot*. Well, I am less and less sure of what it is. Is this a bantam...
I am truly about to leave this forum because of the ultra HUGE fear of things like tiny kestrels, pet cats, foxes, hawks, anything which is not a bunny or something that eats grass.
Come on, really? The predator hate is sickening. The solution to things eating your chickens is either to...
