Hello, so I raise fancy pigeons and while I was gone on vacation my male pigeon passed away due to unknown causes, leaving behind his mate who was sitting on eggs (laid july 8th)
His mate stopped sitting on her eggs for around 1-3 days because she could not take over all incubation duties. I do...

Hello! Next year I want to try and give my broodies something to hatch, and I really want a couple of small breed chickens. So if theres anyone who is selling hatching eggs for very small breeds such as D'anvers, Sebrights, Seramas, etc please leave your contact information below!
I recently adopted a new 7 month old partridge silkie hen, and to my surprise she started crowing! She does it when she hears my other hens, so i'm guessing she is trying to assert her dominance. Chickens can be weird :p
This is my one month old buttercup chick. She has a big comb but no redness yet, so im not sure! She has pretty dainty feet and a hen-like posture. What do you think?
My salmon faverolles hen started laying about a month ago with no problems until a week ago. She began spending longer amounts of time (longer than it takes to lay an egg) in the nest and she began to scream whenever she saw me near her nest! She gets huge and puffy, and will bite if you get too...
Looking to buy some FEMALE chicks of the breeds listed (or any mixes of these breeds!) for spring
i'm really just looking for pretty and friendly chickens, so i might be interested in other breeds. I live near south austin ad would prefer to pick up around the central texas area.
I'm looking for hatcheries that sell rare breeds (specifically swedish flower hens)
Preferably a hatchery that ships sexed chicks, has a small minimum chick order (less than7) , and is located near Texas.
omegahillsfarm.com is the only one I could find, are there any others your recommend?
I have 2 rooster brothers who are now 4 months old. they get along very well and spend all day together foraging, the main rooster will treat the other roo like a hen and call him over to get food. im glad they get along but the problem is they hate the pullets i introduced to them 3 weeks ago...
Hi! I'd like to introduce my weird little one and a half month old """salmon"""" faverolles.
When I first purchased them from ideal poultry, they were pure white little puffballs. I thought they would grow up to be perfect, white and peach colored salmon faverolles.
That's not at all what...
this is my ameraucana x production red chicken, she is 2 and a half months old. she and her brother have pea combs, but his is much bigger which is why i think she is a hen. she has a shiny tail though so idk
This is my rooster, his name is Quail (he's the one on the left, taking a sun bath)
He's been hand raised and is very friendly, I do not think he will ever be human aggressive. MUST GO TO A GOOD LOVING HOME!!
No slaughtering. This is a pet. He loves sitting in laps and following me around the...
I have a 6 week old orpington/production red chick named Bumble. When he hatched (he needed help) he was fully formed and had no other problems.
However, after a few hours I realized he did not act the same as all the others.
-He has trouble pecking and getting his beak to the food bowl.
-It...
I just had a chick hatch will a small (nickle sized) yolk sac not absorbed. I wrapped her in a damp paper towel with some antibiotics on it. I'm so sad :'(
About a week ago, I for some reason wanted to try and incubate some chicken eggs. But I wanted to do it in an unconventional way (well, i didn't want to, i had to because i couldn't buy an incubator) So I got an old heating pad (one that never shuts off) and a Styrofoam cooler. I placed the...
Hi, I live in Bastrop Texas. Currently chickens are not allowed here, but I was hoping a petition would change that. If able, please sign this petition, it would help a lot!
