My Dark Brahmas have been having 100% fertility this year, so naturally I have Brahma chicks coming out my ears! These birds are docile and calm and weathered the -30F here in Ohio like champs. In this sale you get 8+ extra fertile hatching eggs. Available to ship out Monday-Wednesday, week...
I've noticed my guinea hen getting lethargic and being a loner over the past few days. I treated the entire flock with wazine in the water for worms just in case. She hasn't improved. She's been attempting to stay with the flock but has to lie down and rest while the others forage and looks...
