Got these little ones this morning. The only ones I could ID were some Sultans and an Andalusian( both not pictured).
The first chick has five toes, everyone has the normal number.
This little one has chipmunk stripes on it's back.
Got these little guys last Thursday. They are from Ideal's bantam assortments (Feather Legged and Clean Legged).
1. Feather legged, single comb.
2. Feather legged (can barely make it out in the pic), no visible comb.
3. Clean legged, single comb.
4. Feather legged...
This chick came as one of 8 packing peanuts added to my 10 bantam order from Ideal. All the others are yellow or red, then you have this one.Clean legs and single comb.
I got a couple of Light Brahma packing peanuts in the order I got today and I'm wonder what these HUGE chicks might grow up to be like.
Does the breed have a reputation for aggression or anything I should watch for? Just how slow maturing are they?
Today my order of 4 Assorted Bantams and 4 Silver Duckwing OEGBs came in from Ideal. I also got a gazillion Light Brahma packing peanuts. It's a little shocking to open up a box expecting itty bitty chicks and being staring at HUGE ones!
These are the four bantams:
1. Normal amount of toes...
Went to the feed store to get Parakeet toys and came out with a hen.
She is smaller then my BOs, but bigger than my OEGB. Almost the size of a Leghorn.
This little one is named Toes because it seems to have an excess of them. It only has that one long rear toe on the left side, nothing but a small one on the right. You can't see it in the pics but the chick looks like its wearing eye liner.
These pics come from a game camera I put out next to a dead mature white tailed buck that was either hit by a car or died from natural causes. I've seen these creatures before and they appear to weigh around 70lbs, give or take, and its back looks to be almost to my thigh (I'm 6"0). It was able...
On 8/22 I received an order of 7 guinea keets. One really small pearl and six whites. All went well until three days ago when they started dropping like flies. I've successfully raised keets before with zero losses, but those were from a breeder and these are my first hatchery keets. I got them...
Whippoorwill is a little week old chick with a very good set of lungs. Whippoorwill is a week old, clean legged, and appears to have a single comb and muffs. Came from Ideal.
Has anyone else had to deal with the Craigslist Crazies TM?
I texted a person about a Show Girl chick they had for sale. I asked if they still had the Show Girl. The person answers "I only have baby chicks." but that they did still have the Show Girl. I ask when could I come over, person gives...
Got this little one four days ago from Ideal. It has pinkish yellowish clean legs and what looks like a single comb. It was super hard to get this little one to keep still!
Got these little ones at 9:00 this morning. All are doing fine, but one does have a slight cross beak. All are clean legged and appear to have the normal number of toes. Had to take their pics in a box due to them being SUPER active and dashing everywhere.
#1 Silver Laced Wayandotte? Several...
I placed two orders with Ideal, one for 8/22 (Guineas) and one for 10/5 (assorted pullets). I got a call today asking if they can ship the 10/5 order. I say okay and he told me they will arrive on Friday.
Why? I'm just curious.
Because that is what she is!
One of my Favorelles has lost her little mind. She went broody and "mothered" over thirty eggs till I took the rotting heap away from her and put down new straw in the nesting box, causing her mind to snap like a dry stick.
Now, wide eyed and molting, she runs...
