I have recently lost a very good job and had to move and am struggling financially. I have two beautiful birds I am looking to re-home. A Jenday Conure and a Green-cheek Conure. They are both loving birds and easily handled.
The Jenday was hatched January 7, 2006 and purchased from a Petland...
Okay. I haven't hatched any babies since like '04. So practically 7 years. I have successfully hatched chickens (large fowl and bantam), ducks, geese, turkeys, guineas, quail, and pheasants in my incubators. Usually I used a Sportsman with an automatic turner and moved them to a hatcher on...
Here are several things I've drawn. Some date as far back as 2006 while other are much more recent. Most are drawn with pencil, but a few are in pen. The majority of them were sketched while looking at something else just in the spirit of drawing and to practice. Some poses and themes are...
I know this subject gets beat to death fairly often but I thought the pictures were just precious.

Yay me! lol I have talked with Barry on and off and have sent him several photos. When checking with him on something he told me he did an update that some of my pictures made it into. So of course I had to go check it out. Off the top of my head I remember Large Fowl Cochins, Sumatras, and...
...for BYC to create their own picture catalog of Sandhill Preservation's birds? There seem to be a lot of requests for pictures of their birds and since Sandhill as of yet does not offer any I thought it would be a neat idea for us to compile our own pictures to help people on the BYC...
Could some one explain the genetics behind this one for me and how you should breed and the results you get from breeding what to what? I assume the black in the Salmon and the Wheaton is just replaced with blue as I believe that blue doesn't affect reds and browns and that breeding will still...
The thought has never even crossed my mind. Well that's not entirely true. While doing some yard work at a friend's house I did think to myself that there was a place there perfect for a chicken pen.
Anyway this friend and his roommate were in Tractor Supply the other day and saw all the cute...
Has anyone ever heard of these before?
I know they are available in Black, White, and Mottled. And at one time were also oavailable in blue, but I've never heard of an Auburn Java.
Here is the link to the website where I saw them...
I no longer have these birds so this is rather moot, but I will ask my fellow BYCer's opinions. I was told recently that these birds are Golden-laced Wyandottes and if I bought them as BLR "I got took."
Now these birds were bought from McKinney and Govero as day-old chicks. I also had...
Well I went to the Dallas zoo this weekend with a friend and thought I would post some pictures. They are pretty good. If I can remember what the animals are I will label them, but I took a bunch of pictures. Enjoy!
*Warning* There will be pictures of reptiles so if snakes terrify you then...
I just wanted to be able to show you all how beautiful these birds are.
Occellated Turkey from Wikipedia:

This bird was so funny. She followed us all around the avairy. These pictures were taken at the Dallas Zoo. I will...
I remember stumbling across this website several years ago and seeing something about Clear Faverolles.
(Clear) Faverolles : salmon, cuckoo.
It comes from the village of Faverolles (Eure-et-Loir). The product of crossbreeding of farm hens with Brahma, Houdan, Dorking, Cochin and Langshan...
I'm having a thought...and I wanna think about. Dangerous I know, but we'll see where this goes. Could some kind soul please tell me what the standards are for these two breeds? Maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places online but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I'm randomly...
Ughhhhh.... I seem to be having an issue. I have everything typed up completely in Microsoft Word and just copied it over. The text transferred just fine, but non of the pictures showed up. Am I doing something wrong?
I was playing around on the internet and ran across a photo of a gorgeous Light Brahma rooster. And then I asked myself, "Wow, what would that look like an Orpington?"
Do they have these in the UK? What would you use to get started? White Orp x Light Brahma or Columbian Cochin? And Buff...
I recently got back from a vacation at the Wildwood Resort in Lousianna. Very pretty place with neat ideas. Anyway, they have a breeding program for wild Wood Ducks and a few other breeds. There are several ponds with nest boxes and one completely closed in aviary where they house several...
Not sure if this is the right place to post this so if it isn't, mods feel free to move it.
What is the correct term here? I know when referring to bantams you say bantam. I always said "standard" when referring the big versions...lol But is standard what you are supposed to say, or is the...
I just wanted peoples experiences with this hatchery. Customer service, quailty, etc. They have a few breeds I have been interested in but I'm not currently somewhere I can have birds. If they have really good quality birds then I can stop looking with them. If not then I will continue my...
