    Online Tractor Supply Chick Order

    ordered 10 Rhode Island Red chicks from tractor supply. You order in groups of 10 so 10 was the least I could order. 10 chicks shipped was $37.44 total. Hard to beat that price for shipped chicks. Ordered December 30th and shipped January 2nd. They come from Hoover’s Hatchery. Right after I...

    100% free range

    Curious on a sq ft per chicken, or more likely, X acres per X number of chickens rule of thumb for going 100% free range plus table/garden scraps, but not buying feed. I’m in coastal South Carolina so winters are pretty mild here and can forage all year. I have about 1.5 acres fully fenced in...

    Female looking cream legbar with yellow dot

    99% sure this is a female but the very distinct yellow dot on top is giving me pause before putting her up for sale. Especially since people that buy cream legbar, buy them for the assurance of getting the gender they want (and the blue eggs of course).

    Roosters can be pretty cool

    i had one male chick from a hatch a month ago and had sold the rest. Kept him in the brooder pen to teach some newly hatched chicks how to eat and drink. The pen is outside with a heat lamp but it got down to 32 last night. Went out this morning and the little one month old rooster had all these...

    Wanted/ISO - light brahma chicks - delivery or SC for pick up

    ive got some now and the hens are big but the roosters are no taller than the hens. Rough measurement and my rooster is only about 21 inches tall (looking where he comes up to on the wall of the run and then measureing from the ground to that point). If anyone has some real tall roosters and...

    I think I finally got my flock down to just the Welsh Harlequins

    I bought some ducks locally from a guy that said they were Welsh Harlequin. As they got older they didn't look much like pictures online of Welsh Harlequin. Inquired on here and it was confirmed they were some kind of mix breeds. Found a reputable breeder and got some hatching eggs. After...

    Is this from a hawk?

    I’ve had a few ducks killed lately. The head and tail and wings gone. Sometimes when I’ve gone outside lately all the chickens are gone. Usually they free range but I’ll go out sometimes and the chicks aren’t outside and they aren’t in the run (where food and water are) but they are all hiding...

    droopy wing feathers that hang down

    Never seen feathers like this on my ducks before. Have only had ducks about a year now so I'm definitely still pretty new to ducks. Ive got a few ducks that have wing feathers, or feathers near the wings, that are long and hang low. Is this normal? The pictures are kind of grainy, had to zoom...

    Large....I mean LARGE Light Brahma

    who has some really big/tall light brahma? Not necessarily as big as that video that went viral around a year ago, but some significantly and noticeably large/tall light brahma roosters? My hens are pretty big but my 2 roosters aren’t that huge. Would love to get some new blood in my flock -...

    3 month silver -phase welsh harlequin. I know this is still juvenile plumage but dang those heads are dark and a lot of pictures I see online of young welsh harlequins - the females don't seem to have the dark heads.

    Getting two different eggs from my "welsh harlequin" flock

    i got 5 welsh harlequin ducklings. Now that they are grown one is obviously not welsh harlequin but it seems to be male. Im getting some cream/white eggs and some blueish eggs. I'm thinking some more of my "welsh harlequin" may not be welsh harlequins after all. Pics to follow (give me a few...

    question about coryza

    If you don't give antibiotics, and thereby create healthy carriers of the disease in your flock that can get other chickens sick, is it possible to have coryza in your flock and not know it and only have the occasional death or sick chicken? Or is coryza virulent enough that if it's present...

    2 or more flocks/pens free ranging together

    I have my main pen with a rooster. I also have some other breeds for which I keep a rooster and like to keep those breeds separated so I can get pure-bred hatching eggs or chicks of those breeds. I currently keep different breeds in their own pens/runs and don't let anyone free range outside...

    How to create a purple egg layer

    I'm sure a lot of it comes down to luck. I've got Cream Legbar hens and roosters, a Black Ameraucana hen, a bunch of straight-run Black Copper Maran chicks so I'm sure I'll end up with both roosters and hens. I also currently have some Black Copper Maran laying hens. I'd like to try to get...

    good source of White Holland Turkeys?

    Looking to get White Holland Turkeys. I've had chocolate and black spanish but looking to get a white turkey that'll wont have those dark pin feathers. Want to find a reputable source so I don't get something that is, or bred with, Broad Breasted White turkeys. Porters says he's getting out...

    Some kind of Cochin I think

    Got this chick when we bought a bunch of Black Copper Maran chicks from a local person. It has feathered legs and is black. The maran chicks got big and this thing stayed really small which is why I thought it was a cochin of some sort. Now it is about as big as my Cream Legbar hens. It is...

    svart hona - what percent of chicks are all black

    I haven't had mine too long. I hatched chicks and they have started laying and I've started hatching those chicks. I found one breeders website where they mentioned they get around 30% of chicks that are entirely black (no pink toes...). Granted I haven't had time to really cull chicks and...

    Cackle Hatchery - Black Spanish Turkey Poults

    When ordering them I couldn't find any reviews about Cackle Hatchery heritage turkeys. The reason I ordered from them is that I didn't need 15 or 20 poults which were the minimum orders everywhere else. I ordered 9 and received 10. I was fine to pay the $20 fee for orders of less than 20...
