Looking for 5-6 barred rock hens here in South Carolina. Would travel to get them. Would also trade some Buff Orpington Hens (and a rooster if wanted for them). I live in Conway, near Myrtle Beach. Anyone??
Has anyone else had trouble with Ideal Hatcheries web site? I have been trying to place an order, but everytime I put in my information, it disappears and will not let me continue to checkout! I've had it trying to hatch shipped eggs! Every time that I get some delivered, it is like they have...
I'm looking for some Barred rock hatching eggs, hopefully in the Carolinas that wouldn't have to be shipped to prevent the USPS from using the box as a football!!
Hey all, I have been thinking of raising some sex link hens for egg production only and have been wondering if I may be able to use my orps of different colors to get some sex linked birds instead of buying different hens and roos. Durrently I have blacks, blues and buffs and have some whites in...
Hey all.....I have a question. All of my hens just suddenly went on strike about 3 weeks ago. Not one egg has been laid by over 25 hens! Someone said that with the change in seasons that they weren't getting enough light to keep them laying, so I installed a big light in the coop and put it on a...
Hey all...............
I had another miserable hatch of black orps and it has to be due to the handling that they are getting during shipping! I hated to contact Imogene and let her know the latest hatching numbers. She has done everything that she could possibly do to make sure that I can...
Hey all..... I am trying to get a flock of Black Orpingtons going, but have tried about 6 times to hatch some and have been having some terrible times. I would like to try again with hatching eggs (prefferably from the carolinas where I can pick them up instead of shipping them in) or some day...

Hey everyone! I had a stray/wild dog get into my coop a couple of weeks ago and it wasn't a pretty sight when it left! 10 chickens dead and torn apart all over the place and 4 more hens missing! Well, the 4 hens finally came back from wherever they hid and I found them perched on the top of the...

Does anyone on this board have any turkey eggs for hatching? or is it too late in the year for them? I thought that I would raise some over the winter here in SC since the winters aren't so bad. I can keep them in my barn in the brooder until they are ready to go into the closed in coop in the...

The DW has two cats that have been raised inside the house almost from birth. One is about 10 years, the other is about 8 years old, both are neutered males.
Suddenly, in the last few months, one of them (we think that...
Years ago, while traveling through Pennsylvania, I found a little bakery that made homemade pepperoni bread. Would anyone on this thread happen to have a receipe for it? I'd really like to have some of it!
Hey all.... I need to know your opinions as to what the best incubator is for a classroom of K-5 kiddies! The wife is a teacher and she and her fellow teachers would like to get incubators to hatch some eggs while the kids study the life cycles. My home made incubator works great, but is very...
Come on folks, what is going on in our world when a seven year old little girl gets a ticket for no business license for her lemonade stand? Yesterday, a little girl and her dad were given a ticket for selling lemonade in a park in NYC without a business license! Why does big brother feel that...
Has anyone ever heard of Julilee Orpingtons? The look sort of like a Speckled Sussex, but are built like the Orpingtons. Does anyone on this site have them or know where to get some of them?

I had to bury the king of the homestead this week. Mr. Max, my buddy for the last 14 years died in his sleep during the night. I found him the next morning and buried him next to his mate and his other old buddy the 35 year old appaloosa that I lost last year. Then 2 days later I had to put a 4...
