OK guys - not sure what to do in this situation. Warning - this is a long post! NEED ADVICE!!!
Our daughter is approaching the age of 16. Great kid - kinda a nerdy type who's always been great, A's, involved in basketball, track, tennis, 4H, band and lots of stuff. Very pretty and a great...
Ok guys, apparently I can't find a specific link on the web to apply for NPIP testing for my flock. I am gearing up to start breeding and I wanted to make sure I was good to go. I know that NPIP is not the end all in stating that your flock is healthy, but I wanted the ceritification.
Does...
Hi guys -
I am looking for some RIR eggs. I had purchased some from a William? and they were of show quality. Unfortunately the PO scrambled them and I have one lonely, but almost black, pullet from that hatch.
I am looking for deep coloration but also great laying capability. Thanks!
I am...
Hi all - culling some of my flock as I've got TOO many chickens! LOL
I have some marans pullets and roos that are almost to point of lay - they are Black Copper King stock. I would like $10 for the pullets; roos are free. There are some great roos in this pick, but some of the girls either have...
DH just found out that his territory manager's wife has tuberculosis. She was about to start a new job at the hospital and the tb scratch showed positive, followed with xrays that were also positive. The tm is now waiting on the result of his scratch. Problem is - tm and wife went to dinner with...
We got our first two dairy goats last night - Cindi with Numoor Farms was just fantastic with us and the two girls that we have are so sweet. We learned how to milk and watching the kids milk for the first time was awesome!
This is just one of our efforts to cut the grocery bill just a tad...

I wonder if this is really true? Has anyone seen anything about this before. That would be great!
Hi guys -
I am wanting to buy a few Leghorn pullets/hens or chicks if they are available. I am in the Amarillo/Plainview area. I also have a few Whitmore farms black and blue Ameracuana roos if you are wanting to trade, or I will pay cash!! I am wanting to do pickup only.
Thanks!
Hey Julie - your babies started tonight! So far two of the blue splashes have hatched, one from the wrong end!! Leave it to my babies
They are quite strong and cheeping madly. Your black coppers are also due tonight but so far everyone is quiet. The one splash pipped and hatched within a 2...
Ok - here "she" is. "She" was hatched 2.25.09, which makes her 13 weeks. I obtained the eggs from a reputable breeder off of byc, and due to my inexperience only 1 of each breed I obtained hatched. A blue wheaten ameracauna, which is this one, a salmon fav which later died and a golden cuckoo...
Hey guys - here they are. They are a little over 16 weeks and for the life of me I can't figure them out. I know, I know ..... I got them from Funny Farm cuckoos off of the MOA website and they are very nice, big birds. Please help me! I haven't heard crowing, etc either ...
Ok, sorry. Had...
I have several blue and black Ameracaunas (pure) hatched from Whitmore farms this spring. There are both pullets and some cockerals available as well as some RIR pullets from Tractor supply. I am "downsizing" as I had very good hatch rates with this bunch. Available for pickup only.
Pullets...
I am soooo stoked right now! I had tons and tons of lovely blue and black and black/white ameracaunas literally pop out of eggs this afternoon!!!! I can't believe it - I FINALLY got a good hatch!!!
And thanks to a fellow BYC'er AMYQUILT (who's guilty of enabling) I have more fluffy butts to go...
Hey guys - I am headed to Dallas this weekend and my mom suggested we stop at a few of my BYC "friends" houses and pick up eggs/chicks that I am wanting in order to skip the whole dratted shipping thing. It seems more than 50% of my hatches end in me popping the egg and finding "scrambled"...
Oh oh!! Three have hatched but I don't see any more pips. Surely they'll be along sometime!!
So far I have - 1 salmon faverolle, 1 golden cuckoo maran which has lots of gold on *him* , and a very blonde blue/blue wheaten ?? ameracauana ---- but they are still wet so who knows ....
Send me...
And it was the most beautiful sky blue egg you've ever seen. Perfect!!!
Too bad it was from my "boy" canary that my parents got me for Christmas ...
Told dh I got my first egg today! He was so happy with the chickens out back. And then I showed him. He walked over to the cage and said...
And right on time!!! They are due tomorrow afternoon and I just went and checked on them and saw two pips --
Pasofina you'll never believe who the first one was - one of the salmons!
I can hear baby chirps in there. Too cute. I am so relieved. Between the post office hurdling eggs and...
Seriously, what is wrong with me ... or actually with you??? Why must you torment me and put cute little messages in my box. Like, why don't I throw a few buttons, are you sure you can't use a few buttons??? Or, hey I have these, you want these right??? Why can't I say no?? My incubator is...
