Well, it turned out all 6 of my GCM's have webbed feet. The webbing is mostly minor and they can all walk fine and most can perch but it looks like I won't be breeding. :(
I should have caught it sooner but these are my first Marans and I didn't know this was a problem with them so I didn't look...
I hatched out some Golden Cuckoo Marans a while ago and have 2 young boys who need new homes. They're free if there's anyone in the area who wants them. I'm in NE Whatcom Co. and they hatched 11/12/2014
I didn't get them for breeding and I don't know much about GCM's so I can't really attest to...
I just had 4 Ayam Cemani's hatch yesterday! I can't stop staring at them :)
Can't wait for my new camera to get here so I can do the baby chickie photo shoot!
Does anyone have and info on where to get good heritage Dellys? I can't seem to find much of anything for breeders selling them or hatching eggs.
Any info would be great!
I am looking for 5-10 laying hens between 6 months and 2 years. Any breed or crossbreeds as long as they are not banties.
Let me know what you have and the prices please. Will travel all of Whatcom, Skagit, and Snohomish County.
I ordered some GCM hatching eggs and they've all pipped this morning. I never expected 100% to develop on shipped eggs but they are and they've all developed to hatching age.
I'll hopefully have some pics tomorrow when they're all fluffy.
Does anyone know of a breeder of nice Delawares in Washington? I've got one hen who is a hatchery bird and she's a pretty poor example of a Delaware but she's been my favorite for over 3 years now and I'd love to get more or some hatching eggs.
Has anyone had success candling Maran eggs? I've always used a small led flashlight and it's been fine with my light brown eggs but I've got my very first Marans in the incubator and I would like to candle them. Do the commercially made candlers work on them? Brinsea or other brands.
I'd really...
I had someone "gift" me 5 hens yesterday and they are molting so they're pretty ugly right now but 2 are supposed to be Black Australorpes. One looks like it but the other has quite a big muff like my Americaunas. Is this normal for an Australorpe or do I have something else?
I've just ordered a dozen GCM eggs and I only want a few pullets as layers and one roo. If I get a good hatch (which is iffy with shipped eggs) I'll need homes for the leftovers. I'm in North East Whatcom Co. Any takers?
I have 7/8 Ayam Cemani hybrids I need to get rid of due to an emergency vet bill. They are 2 months old and I have 3 roosters and 6 pullets. All have some white on them. They are some of my favorite little birds and have the cutest personalities and seem perfect for wet climates since they do...
I just bought a "Wheaten Americauna" and she's consistently laid brown eggs. I'm not too familiar with this breed so I'm wondering if there's another chicken out there that looks like a Wheaten but isn't? She's got the "cheeks" like my other Americaunas but I've never seen brown eggs from one...
I am in Wa state and just started with the Mottled (or Spangled) Orps. I love them. So cute and so friendly! Any other "Mottled" people in Washington State?
I have 4 Ayam Cemani hybrids for sale. They are 10 days old and are 7/8 Cemani and 1/8 Black Australourpe.
Chicks are not solid black like pure Cemanis but my birds from previous hatches usually have black tongues and meat. Ayam Cemani's are a game fowl and are great meat birds and the eggs...
