Its been awhile since I have been here, but Im back, and I have an important question for all my BYC buds!!
Which Incubator (Brand) Is REALLY the best?
I am writing an article for a new e-magazine and I know you guys know your stuff, So I decided this was the place to ask.
Anyway, What is...
I recently shipped my first set of eggs. I was at school, so my mom was nice enough to bring them to the post office, and get them shipped. Each egg was wrapped individually in Bubble Wrap, put into cartons, and the cartons were wrapped in Bubble Wrap. They were then packaged in a...
Well, the original buyer backed out, so I am left with a few eggs (and whatever they lay in the next 5 days.)
This auction is for at LEAST 15 eggs, but I can pretty much guarantee extras.
Reserve is $15.00....
Thanks for looking,
Jason
If you have been feeding Layena to your birds, check your new bags before you buy.
The two bags I just purchased are huge pellets, not crumbles. No difference in packaging either.....
My birds have never had pellets, and its WAY too cold to have them be trying something new!!
(Edited...

So far I have come up with:
White
Black
Blue
Chocolate
Lavender
Barred
Blue Ripple
Chocolate Ripple
Dark Ripple
Black Pied
Buff
Blue Pied
If anyone has anything to add...
So, I went down to do chores this morning, and all the chickens were standing outside, ready to get their food. I opened the coop door and ONE little rooster was standing inside. He was all hunkered up, but I knew he was fine the night before.
Any ideas on why he is like this? Hes usually...

I know this might be a hard goal to achieve, but I want a list of all the chicken color patterns (accepted or not). So far I have :
I bet I am missing alot, and any help would be appreciated!!

This was my very first EVER incubator hatch, and it went GREAT!!
I ended up with 9 little coturnix quail (8 white and 1 tuxedo) and 6 chickens (2-4 more in the bator, hatching right now.)
For some reason, all my chicken chicks are light colored, when my laying flock is mostly dark colored...
I am so confused. I have hatched out chicks every spring from my laying flock for a couple years now, and more are hatching right now. I have so far hatched out 3 white ones...
I have never hatched a white chick before. I only have 2 white hens out of my whole flock and all these eggs...
Now that I have gotten that out of the way, I will explain.. lol
I started working on this - http://www.quail-forum.com/listofpeafowlcolors.htm ,
But I am stuck for the most part (on the peafowl Section), until I get more pictures.
If you have any you would be willing to let me use, I would...
I was candling the eggs today, and 2 of them have blood rings. (Oh well)

It may not be an airsack, but something that the light easily passes through, (Maybe the yolk?)
Any ideas on if it is the...
I have 9 buttons, (3 trios) and was wondering If I could put them all together. They seem kind of bored, and I think they would like it for if I took the dividers out of their cage, so they could run a little more, and maybe fly a little.
My question is, if I do put them all together will I...
Are they supposed to sound like kittens? They have a high pitched, little thing they are doing ALOT, and they quit when I go out and look....
Is that normal???
I have read that it is supposed to be 99.5*, 100.5*, and 101*..... I AM SO CONFUSED!!
I just got the incubator tonight, and am just reading about it.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!
I was so excited to see button quail at an exotic animal auction today, that I had to buy some!! I ended up with 3 trios, (Blue Faced, Smoky, and Cinnamon.) They are seperate, in 3 little cages.
So, I was wondering, if I bred these (with their trios), would I get the same (Blue Faced, Smokey...
