This week, we lost our Bantam Roosters to a dog attack. Someone gave us two Standard Roo's - A Houdan and a Brahma. Both are about 12 weeks old. We really only have experience with bantams, and these boys are BIG!! We don't know what to do with them, and need to find them a new home ASAP...
My Golden, Nugget has been sick for almost 3 days, and is getting worse. Yesterday, we took him to our vet on an emergency walk-in appointment. Our regular vet wasn't there, and we had to see another one. $600 later, he's still sick, and getting worse. We have an emergency clinic, but I...
Hi! I was wondering if anyone has a working GQF 1502 that they aren't using/don't want anymore. I am interested in buying one that is gently used. Let me know. I have $400 to spend on it--might be able to go a little higher, but I can't afford one brand new.
I'm so excited that I just found this online:

I am going to put it right in the incubator, so I will always know my temp and humidity. I love the large screen display on it. I'm hoping for much more consistency in my hatching this year. Plus at...
I need to find a new home for Sunshine asap. Here's the deal, he has been very calm, and friendly, but suddenly started acting very aggresively towards Rocky our other Roo. Rocky is super friendly, and our favorite. He's very docile, loves to be petted and picked up. Well, yesterday Sunshine...
I'm in Middle Tennessee. I have 2 year old pure bred, show quality BBRed OEGB Rooster. I'm interested in trading for a Jersey Giant standard. I'm only interested in a non-aggressive Rooster; preferably one that has been around people a lot, and can be a good pet.
I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum first, so forgive the duplicate posting.
I lost a hen last night who was eggbound, and now her Sister, Lily is having exactly the same problem. Marigold's egg was just too big for her to pass.
Lily is still active right now, but she is struggling...
I lost a hen last night who was eggbound, and now her Sister, Lily is having exactly the same problem. Marigold's egg was just too big for her to pass.
Lily is still active right now, but she is struggling with the egg, and I would be so devastated to lose 2 right in a row like this.
Here's...
Winter was pretty harsh for our little bantam family. We lot one to a hawk, and 3 to a stray cat. Two of the three were our favorite little hen and her only son. They were both so sweet, me and DH were both very upset about it. Sense that time, we've kept our feathered friends cooped, as it...
I have several young BBR Old English Game Bantams for sale in North Davidson County. I have more roosters than hens, so I'm selling in pairs or individual roosters. Thees are pure bred exhibition quality. The boys do still need to be dubbed to be shown. We are selling an adult (9 mnths) that...
I just had to post because I'm so proud of Cloudy, my hen. We've hatched bunches of her eggs in an incubator, but she's an Old English Bantam, and brooding isn't really her thing. She'd go broody for a week and then get bored and stop....well, this time, she has stayed broody and when I went...
I had an egg hatch this morning from my two BBR OEGB's. I've hatched over 20 of their eggs in my incubator, and they all look exactly the same with the minor differences between girls and boys. My hen hasn't been with anyone other than her roo, yet one egg that hatched today has a pure white...
One of my bantams hatched last night and I have another on the way. The only thing I'm concerned about is the one hatching now has been trying to break free of the shell for about 18 hours.
So far has only made a beak sized hole. It's sitting in the egg with its beak sticking out...
I have a pair of 7 Week Old Buff Orp's that I need to sell! We raise bantams, and due to a hatching egg mixup ended up with standard. They are taking too much room in the coop, and I need the space. These babies are already way bigger than my full grown Bantams. They are friendly and would...
I wonder if there are any idea about what might have happened to my last batch of eggs. I use a Hovabator Incubator with an egg turner and a Little Giant for pipping. Both have been working wonderfully, and my hatch rate has been about 80-90%. I ordered 24 Buff Cochin eggs from a seller on...
