    I gave in... CoCo got some eggs.

    My white sizzle hen has been broody for over a week. She just won't get up! She also won't lay. I have orders coming in for sizzle eggs. So... CoCo Chanel was given 3 polish eggs, one cochin eggs, and one silkie egg. I marked them all with a big black "X" in sharpie so that everyone (my...

    2 ducklings: ancona & harlequin - PICKUP ONLY!

    I hatched out 3 ducklings for an order, but the person was only able to take one duckling. I have an Ancona duckling & a welsh harlequin duckling that need a good home. I WILL NOT SHIP THE DUCKLINGS! Pick-up only. If it is a reasonable distance, I will be willing to drive part way to make sure...

    3 Dozen - LOOK! - Bantam eggs! Pics!

    I have over 2 dozen eggs from my bantam coop that have to be shipped out Tuesday. I would love to set them myself, but I'm done hatching until summer. These eggs are priced to go because I was holding them for someone who changed their mind. The oldest eggs in here are 6 days old today. There...

    I am offering 8+ eggs from my silkie coop. I have a really nice pair of white silkies in there. The catch is... I also have a couple other birds in that coop right now, too. I have these hens: 2 white silkies, one white sizzle, one black sizzle, and one white cochin. They are covered by a white...

    Broody buttons... again

    My little white button decided to go broody again. Last time she sat dilligently for about a week before giving up. I had cleaned out the plastic habitat that they are in & after that, she didn't want to go back to the nest. This time, I decided to let her sit. It's getting a bit, um, stinky...

    seeping eggs... ?

    This is my first time hatching duck eggs. I've hatched chicken & quail, though. I set 8 mixed duck eggs on 1/22. I candled today & saw good veining in 4 of the eggs. Two of the eggs were seeping clear fluid. They were 2 of the ones that are developing. My question is: Is this normal? Should I...

    Suspected head injury...

    I posted earlier regarding my polish pullet getting her toe cut off. Well, her toe seems fine, but I'm concerned about her head. Since a lot (and I mean a LOT) of blood was under the roost, I'm wondering if she got her foot caught somehow & fell from the roost. She is now exhibiting signs of...

    Blood loss from cut foot... HELP!

    I just got in from checking for eggs. I was just out at about 9:30 & all was well. I went into the silkie coop to check for silkie eggs where I am keeping 6 of my 3-month-old chicks in that coop so the "big girls" won't hassle them. When I opened the door to the coop, I was sure someone was...

    Silly broody button

    I have a pair of white button quail that seem to have made a nest for the purpose of hatching out some chicks! The hen has 2 eggs that she starting sitting on Friday nite. The male puts bits of wood chips around her and brings her food. It's terribly cute. I've heard that buttons don't often...

    No more peas in the house

    Well, I just moved my 4 month old pair out of the house. They were teasing the dog too much. We have a doberman pincer and she was getting tormented by the birds so much, she started poo-ing in her kennel at night. She's doing much better now that the peas are outside. I put the pair in the...

    Blue button eggs

    My button quail have started laying! I was excited to see that one of them lays a beautiful light indigo-blue egg. I have no idea which one is laying it, though. Of my 9 buttons, 5 are hens... maybe 6. I can't tell on the one silver and one white. I know that my other white is a hen - I saw her...

    Lone guinea... companion?

    I know I shouldn't count my chicks before they hatch, but... I have one (of 2) guinea eggs developing nicely. If it hatches, It will be the only guinea I have. Should I keep it with the chickens? I also have peafowl. Will it get along better with the peafowl? I just want to have a plan so that...

    Who else is setting... I wanna see pics!

    I'll be setting eggs in my new 'bator soon! Anyone else setting eggs this weekend? I assume I'll be hatching between Sept 7th & Sept 17. So - If anyone wants to join me, I'm setting... The First Hatch of the New Season! I had already told everyone that I had my last hatch this season. That...

    My first "real" incubator & hatcher!

    A guy my husband works with used to have pheasants. He had a cabinet incubator & hatcher. Well, this guy got out of pheasants & was selling all his equipment. My husband just bought me an incubator and hatcher... fully loaded with the see-through doors!!! They're used, but in good shape. I'm...

    Western PA - FREE BR chickens - (No ship)

    I had buyers for all the chicks I hatched out of my last batch of the year. Well, one of the buyers backed out... leaving me about 10 chicks. Everyone I know already got chicks from me and can't take any more. They are BR with a couple BR/white rock mutts. I believe all but one are pullets. They...

    How about these two?

    These are the 2 blackshoulder chicks I bought. I noticed in another post that some of you could guess the gender of the 5 week olds... these are 4 weeks. One has a brown crest & one has a white crest. Is it possible to sex these two yet? If I need to wait and post pice in a few weeks, that's...

    8 week old speckled sussex... a roo?

    I have a speckled sussex that didn't feather in as fast as the other pullets. As a matter of fact, this 8 week old still has no tail & a lot of "fluff" on it's back/tail area with a couple of curly feathers covering its vent. It has a peachy comb and NO wattle development. It basically looks...

    Finally got peachicks!!

    I just got home from my trip to pick up my 2 new chicks. I chose 2 blackshoulder chicks that were 2 weeks old. I also got 2 hatching eggs... just put them in the 'bator! I think these 2 are probably going to be blue blackshoulder... There weren't any chicks with the lighter flight feathers, so...

    That's just how it goes, I guess!

    I just got back home after going out shopping. My husband & I stopped at a yard sale. It was at one of the few properties around here that has peafowl - a pair of india blue. We bought a couple books & were leaving to go home, when the lady asked,"You are the couple that came out here asking...
