    Dominique rooster - breeder stock - Free to an approved home

    We have a 4 month old rooster who needs a new home. I bought eggs from a breeder, incubated them, and will keep his brother for my own breeding flock. Reuben is gorgeous, and probably the better of the two confirmation wise. My 4yo is frightened of him (bad experiences with previous roosters...

    Dominique rooster free to an approved home in Maine

    Hi - We have a beautiful Dominique rooster that is about 4 months old. I got eggs from a breeder and hatched him and his siblings, so he wasn't hatchery stock. I have his brother, who I am keeping for breeding. I have a small flock, and can't keep two roosters. If you have a small free-range...

    adding new chicks to a flock...

    OK, I have read the threads on this issue - but here's a slight twist on the question: After buying 14 eggs from a breeder and incubating them (only 4 hatched!) we brought the new chicks home to a brooder coop with a heat lamp, cozy nest, etc. They are about 2 1/2 months old now, and go out...

    White-Crested Black Polish Roo in Maine - needs adoption

    I am looking for a small flock of hens for my rooster, Kevin. I really would love to find a new home for him, because he is interesting, smart, great with the hens, and of course, beautiful. He is flying at my 3yo, and that's just not stustainable. I would be ok ending his life if he was one of...

    Breeding question? Is this the right forum? planning to breed Dominiques in the spring.

    Hello, I purchased a lovely Dominique hen last summer, and adore her. I have a very small flock, and up until recently* had only hens. I now have a very mild mannered rooster but my Dominique spurns his advances vehemently. This is absolutely fine with me, because he is a white-crested black...

    My funny Dominique hen can't lay while sitting!

    I am sorry if this is a redundant post/question - but my Dominique sits and sits, but can only get her egg out after she has gotten off of the nesting box and begins to move around. Her eggs come most of the way down the vent, but need a little help from gravity to complete the job. She walks...

    vagabond Polish

    I got a call yesterday from a store up the road from my house - "There's a rooster looking thing up here - is it yours?" I had no idea why she would not be able to identify a hen (I have buffs and a Dominique), why it would be called a 'rooster-looking-thing' - but I went up to make sure it was...

    duck hen in mourning?

    Yesterday I relocated the majority of our flock to a new home. Two hens stayed behind, they are destined for a different location. One of our hens is very very upset, and she keeps dipping her head low whenever I approach (she actually is doing this often, even when I am not coming near - it...

    Newly hatched perfect babies! er... plus one :(

    We have been transfixed by our beautiful new indian runner ducklings this weekend. All hatched early, and all came out very well (well, one of the 10 piped at the wrong end, and I helped peel the shell back... ) So there was one left in the incubator. The others hatched on day 26/27. This last...

    is it ok to begin 'lockdown' early?

    2nd time around incubating duck eggs in a still air incubator. Day 23 there was internal piping in about 5 eggs out of 12. I kind of freaked out, and dropped the temp to 98.5 and raised the humidity to 80%! We're at day 25 and we hear peeping and pecking, but no external pips yet. any opinions...

    troubleshooting help requested - 2nd hatch attempt for Indian Runners (first 100% mortality!)

    Hello, This is my first post, and I am new to BYC - so sorry if this is a redundant question. I just incubated several eggs in an older model Hova Bator as a homeschooling experiment with my kids. We got runner duck eggs from a friend - the eggs were a few days old when we got them and kept cool...
