Posting this for Briar, we have a lot of extra eggs just laying around and so he wanted to sell some.
2 dozen assorted brown eggs for hatching, 16$ (includes shipping)
good for someone who just wants to hatch out some mutts with nothing in mind other than a fun hatch.
roosters:1 RiR (maybe...
I've been asked by Briar (formerly Ducklove334) since he handles all the chicken stuff to post these pictures for him. This are the three surviving chicks that were hatched back in june by a cochin named lily. They are 13 weeks old now, and Briar thinks they are all pullets, but he wants other...
I know I don't come on here often, but Briar,(formerly Ducklove334) wanted me to show off lol.
Bailey Juniper was born monday, september 14th at 7:01pm.
we came home yesterday afternoon.
she was 6 pounds, 11 ounces,and 20.4 inches long.
I have a black Femish Giant doe that I am looking to breed soon.
So I am looking for a good size, good type, overall good personality Flemish Buck to either buy/or use as a stud.
I will be using at least one of the babies (as well as my doe, and the buck, if I buy him) to show.
I am in...
We got 9 Turkens (naked necks) packing peanuts with our Ideal order almost 4 weeks ago. We are pretty certain that they are all roosters. May also have a few more roo chicks pop up that need homes, too.
I am located in Lignum, VA. Not asking much, just PM if interested.
Thank you.
Miss Prissy has inspired me to cook.. I even started my bread starter today..
Anyway, I am looking for something that we can make as "presents" (for Christmas) for my SOs family. We are on a budget, so I thought this would be nice.. I was planning to make popcorn balls but his grandpa cannot...
Tonight we lost a very important family member.. Our 6 & 1/2 month old European Starling named Kenya.. Briar (my fiance) and I raised him from the time he was just a pink blob.. Only a few days old.. We found him on our front porch and his mom wouldn't take him back. So we took in this...
That's Naomi. She's the one that we thought was a cockeral. I got her from Ellen (birdlover)!
She apparently has been laying in a nest in the veryyy back of the coop that no one had thought to check.. These are the first eggs I have gotten (other than duck eggs) since getting back into Chickens!
It's old, ornery, nosy, my own dang family member and the reason we had to get rid of our chickens last year!
Last year we had chickens - a few roos and approx 15 hens. My cousins own the house next to us and had people living there whom were renting from them. My chickens were free ranged...
We're looking to get 5-6 more pullets/hens that are of laying age (or coming of age soon). We are located near Culpeper, VA and are willing to drive a little bit (preferably no more than an hour)
We're really willing to take "any" pullets/hens.. But I would LOVE to get some Orps and Cochins.
My Grandparents came over last night to check out our chickens and ducks... They're crazy about the eggs.
My Grandpa is retired from being a roofer but it still very much in construction around his home (even though he's nearly blind) well anyway.. He started eyeing our old horse barn and...
These are the chooks we got from the auction yesterday..
Boogers is a barred rock hen (Was $8 too much?).. Quick question - is it normal for a hen (or barred rock specificly) to have 2 nails coming from her back toe?
Then the "Top Knot" pullet (got her for $4).\\
Then we got 3 pullets who...
Anyone else go to the Culpeper Auction?
I really shouldn't have gone.. Between me, my fiance, my mom, and younger sister we did way too much damage.. :lol
We came home with 5 pullets/hens (4 of those were $1!), 3 ducks (2 pekins & 1 call), 6 chicks (2 golden laced wyandottes, 1 golden comet...
Here is a little background: My fiance and I live with my Mother and younger sister who is 12 years old simply because of the economy - my mom would have a hard time, and I KNOW for a fact we probably would not be able to make it right now on our own.
But that's not the point of this post...
I have not seen anyone mention any pet rats, so I am curious! Am I the only Rat slave on BYC? I can't be, they are too awesome and loving to be passed up.
So if you love rats, splurge about them here.
I have 8 Ratties, 6 bucks and 2 does.
For the boys..
The oldest is Bedington, he's 1...
Maybe one day I'll actually be able to be 100% certain on breeds/genders all by myself and not have to pester you awesome BYCers. Right, that'll be the day.
I met up with Birdlover today and got this guys Both are supposed to be pullets - she said she's even pretty certain both have laid...
This is Tator. He (??) is my baby. He's sooo sweet. We got him from a lady when we picked up 6 Muscovy ducklings. She didn't know his breed or gender (she thought pullet), I simply picked him cause he was addorible, lol.
He was fully feathered when we got him about a week ago, and I guessed...
Has/does anyone use Tanks (Fish Tanks/Aquariums.. without the water! ) as a brooder?
I had used totes up until we got 6 Muscovy ducklings but then wanted to try out a tank by using our 90gallon that we no longer use for anything else. It holds heat better than the tubs, IMO.
We also have the...
We placed an order with Ideal about 2 weeks ago.. When I talked to the lady she said everything was sold out except an assortment of Bantams for the 29th, and we needed that day so that they could ship the two ducklings out that we wanted too (they're now sold out for the season)...
So we...
Does anyone know anything about the Poultry Sale that is going on in Culpeper, VA on November 8th?
I can't find anywhere that says what time it starts..
Thanks!
