    Clarification on Chick/Duck Starter 20%

    I haven't posted in ages, but we just got our first ever batch of waterfowl (10 Pekin, 3 Cayuga, 3 Magpie, and a trio each of American Buff & Toulouse Geese). I was struggling trying to find out if the starter feed I found at TSC had enough Niacin for their leg development and I couldn't find...

    Unexpected Bantam Chick, Help!

    It's been a long time since I've posted much on this forum, but we're kind of desperate right now! Our broody bantam Cochin has been trying to hatch our D'Uccles' eggs and we didn't think they would actually hatch because she was constantly pushed off of them by the other birds, and we've had...

    WTB SQ LF Brahmas in NY

    I'm looking to buy a small quantity (25 or less, preferably less) of LF Brahmas from SQ or heritage stock. Eggs are easy to find but I don't want to try my hand in hatching at this time. I'm located in Central NY and would drive up to 2h to pick up or will pay for shipping! I would prefer...

    Calling all Faverolles Roo Owners! Pics needed!

    Hello fellow BYC members! I am currently working on a project (the results of which will be posted here when it is completed!) and I am in need of some high resolution photos of Faverolles Roos.

    Golden Laced x BBS Pictures?...

    Are Frizzle Cochins Usually Runts?? Pictures!

    I purchased a nice assortment from MM hatchery, and I'm extremely pleased with the quality of the birds we ordered. The only thing that's puzzling me is our that adorable little red bantam Frizzle Cochin "Pippi" is such a tiny runt still! She was hatched 5/1 just like the others, but my Belgian...

    CNY - WTB Bantam Ameracauna or EE - Chicks/Pullets/Hens

    Well we had some rather bad luck with our hen ratio of bantam EEs when we ordered a mix of chicks from the hatchery... we aren't happy considering they were the reason I ordered in the first place (go figure!!). So, we are still trying to replace our recently lost EE hen that laid wonderful blue...

    *New Pics* 4 Week Old Chicks- Boys & Girls? PIC HEAVY

    Ok, so most of these chicks were born in the beginning of May. The 3 Copper Marans are a few days to a week older from a local breeder. I have a mix of standard sized and bantam chicks and we're pretty overrun at the moment (eep 31 chicks and only so many brooders to stick them all in!). So any...

    EE or Dark Cornish??

    After looking at more pictures of the two breeds I'm stumped. Are we wrong & is the chipmunk-looking one with the pink legs a Dark Cornish and not our 4th Easter Egger? For some reason some sites have Dark Cornish chicks looking like my chipmunk, and some have them looking like this guy: I...

    Suffocated to death by broody Cochin, RIP sweet hen

    Just like the title says, I lost my sweet little disabled Easter Egger, Carmen, this morning. I've been blaming myself over and over for this because I should have known what could happen to my girls since my huge Cochin Sprite went broody. Sprite has been hogging the nesting area and has been...

    MM Mystery Chick- Bantam Cochin?

    It took us about a week to be sure who our odd-ball chick was, and it's definitely this little guy. He's bantam sized, feathered feet, black & white baby markings with a white splotchy patch on his head. His wings are coming in white and black... and seem to be barred to me? The chick coloring...

    She is a very large (standard) black Cochin hen with that beautiful greenish sheen to her feathers. She is very healthy & protective of our other girls.

    Lethargic Brahma *Update*- She is just getting ready to lay!

    *November 5 Update* The birds are all fine, it may have been a little mix of the 'crack' ants as we call them now, and her getting ready to lay. We got our first egg and the others are starting to squat as well so it was most likely hormonal changes. Symptoms: 6mo old Lt Brahma, Lazing...

    Sopping Wet Chickens...

    Are what I walked out to when I discovered my 5 girls decided to stand in torrential rainfall instead of running under their make-shift porch or the most obvious answer- the dry coop! We're having some crazy thunderstorms and flash flooding here in the Great Lakes region of the North East, last...

    How paranoid are you?... Am I going overboard?

    For you parrot and pet bird owners with chickens... how careful are you about transmitting possible parasites/diseases between your outdoor and indoor flocks? We have 4 parrots that we love dearly; we LOVE birds of all kinds. When we first started putting up bird feeders for wild birds outside...

    They moved in to the coop this morning! Pics of the hens and coop!

    Hey everyone! I was a lurker for quite a while before I registered a couple of months ago. I've been updating my page with our progress, and am happy to announce our coop is functional (although not fully done), and the girls are enjoying their new space. They have spent way too long in a...

    Hey everyone! I'm Michelle and I have been visiting this site and others for information about chickens for several months now, but have made this pretty much my main source of info after a chat with a member on here from whom I got my first chicks. My husband and I were thinking about...
