I have a small flock of five bantams that I need to re-home. Flock consists of a Serama rooster and hen and three Porcelain D’Uccle hens. Good layers, we get 3-4 eggs a day.
We live in SE Washington, Walla Walla county.
I have four Porcelain D'Uccle cockerels in need of a new home. They are approximately 5 weeks old and located in South-Eastern Washington. Free to good home and I am willing to ship if you pay shipping.
Hoping someone can help with some advice.
I’ve been working out of town the last few weeks, leaving the house early and getting home late so apart from making sure everyone has food and water I haven’t been very observant of my feather babies.
I noticed last night when I was cleaning the coop...
hoping to get some ideas of what breeds these lovely ladies are.
These girls were listed for sale with their coop because their owner was moving. The coop and run is way too small for them (one of those 2’x2’ types sold at pet stores). I needed a new coop for my Seramas so they can get...
Hi All!
Hoping to get some help on an incubation puzzle.
The eggs I ordered ended up being too many for my Brinsea Octagon 28 incubator so I went down to my local farm store and purchased a styrofoam Little Giant still air bator.
All eggs were set at the same time and I followed the shippers...
Hi all!
I’ve always wanted some bantams but for some reason they’re the only eggs I can’t get through incubation.

Any guesses?
Hi all!
I just received a shipment of eggs today and was inspecting them before letting them rest. One of the eggs was pretty dirty but another one is smeared with blood. I'm not too concerned about a dirty egg but I have never received an egg with blood on it before and am curious to know if...
Hi everyone!
My husband and I are getting ready to sell our house so I need to re-home my small backyard flock.
I have three double laced gold Bernevelders, one bantam Easter egger, and one gorgeous Ayam Cemani rooster.

Please PM me if your...
Hi everyone! This is my second time hatching out eggs and the first time I have weighed and marked the air cells. I have two questions if someone could help me out.
1. When I candled my eggs today at day 7 I came across one egg that looked odd (see below). There is a ton of movement in the...

Hello everyone!
I have a question on incubating eggs. This is my first attempted at hatching eggs. I read all the instructions and made sure that my bater was keeping consistent temp for 24hrs before setting my eggs this morning. I purchased a hydrometer and thermometer while out today and...
Hello everyone,
I have three chicks about three weeks old, today I noticed that Scrambles has longer curled tail feathers while the other two have shorter straight tail feathers. Is this any indication on the sex of the chick at this age? This is the first time I've had chickens and don't really...
