I am telling the kids it looks mighty cocky with the bigger comb but they wanted opinions from BYC before I got rid of it so here is a few pictures. Then I am undecided on the buff and have included 2 pictures of it. I am usually pretty good a determining the sex but lately I have not done so...
I have been married to my wife for 23 years and have always done most all of the cooking for her
and the kids unless I was off working or unless my back has me down since becoming disabled. I had laid down Sunday afternooon
after taking some medication and whe I woke up I asked the kids if...
I recently hatched out several dominique chicks. When they hatched I was in bed with problems
and did not get to look at all of the chicks when they hatched to see how they looked. Yesterday
I was able to go out to the brooder that they are in and was able to really start picking some of them up...
I had went to two different people to buy eggs to hatch. The man I bought eggs from had
pure bred cuckoo marans roosters and hens all kept in a pen so there was no chance a rooster had
strayed to his place and bred his hens.
The lady I went and bought eggs from had pure bred barred rocks also...
Just finishing out my last hatching for a few months (maybe). My last few hatches were of
guineas, and 4 Black Spanish Turkeys. On the turkeys I started out with 18 eggs and 7 of those
developed. Out of the 7 I had 3 which died while pipping. I had to be gone to the Dr. when they decided to...

at home to help me unti my wife and other 2 kids return home.
I did not sleep much last night so was later than usual going out to help
daughter feed up and gather eggs today.
I have 5 different chicken coops,one of...
Alright, so it was my first eggs to incubate by myself. Put the eggs in and was thinking
I was going to have a Christmas hatch until I realized that 21 days from the first of
the month was about the 21st not the 25th. No, problem there so I just re-did the chart I had made to keep up with the...
My wife went out to one of the chicken coops last night to check on everything before
going to bed.
She came back to my office with a light and a BB gun wanting me to go on a rat hunt.
We have had no problems with rats until the weather turned off cool and at
night they are going in the coops...
Was given a GQF cabinet incubator today. It came with no instruction manual
or anything. Needing help in trying to identify what model I may
have. I can get the operating manual if only I can figure out the model.
Here is a pic or two I took..Has the clear door.
Is there anything that I can...
My mom loves these little buggers and I don't have much use for
them. But when mom ask you to raise a few bantams for her, who
can tell mom no?
Anyways I got these for her at a feed store as straight run
bantams. No breed or sex indicated and these two I have no
idea as to what they are. The...
Asking this out of curiosity. I had read some other topics about feeding different types of feed
and such and the subject of feeding corn arose. Some say feed as a treat only, and some feed it as
a main part of their chickens diet. Some say it will cause problems in the long run.
I was wondering...
Had seen a breed of turkey in a magazine my MIL gets and was interested in trying to obtain some.
Does anyone know where I may be able to find the Jersey Buff breed of turkey.
Not in a big hurry to get them but wanted to know of someplace for when I get a place fixxed up for the.
Thanks

Will consider trading some for baby chicks. If wanting to trade for baby chicks let me know how many baby chicks you will trade per pullet and what breed chicks are.
