    My new retired Factory Hens!

    I got two hens today, they came from a commercial factory. They look to be in rough shape, but I guess they will feather out with time. They were housed in pretty close quarters. They seem healthy, but a little scared. Although, I think they like their extra space! I'll probably wait a few weeks...

    Growing Up Madagascar Games!

    [/IMG]I've gotten some Madagascar Games chicks, and I'm going to document their development here! I'll post as they seem to change in appearance. They look to be 4 blue, 2 black and one splash chick. They are also a straight run, so we'll see how many turn out to be roos!

    Naked Necks or Madagascar games?

    I picked up 7 of these from the feed store, thinking they were naked necks. Now I'm not so sure. They appear to have pea combs. They are very leggy. Any opinions on what they are?

    My 7 Norwegian Jaerhons pullets are here...

    And it looks like they brought 18 of their siblings along! I've identified 5 that I am sure are girls, but I can't pick who are the other two. Guess I will be raising all these extra 'packing peanuts'. It is sort of cool to get a whole box of Jaerhons chicks, when I was expecting leghorns or...

    Ordering hens and roosters from same hatchery?

    I'm ordering some Norwegian jaerhons pullets from ideal. But I'd also like a rooster jaerhon to try and hatch some chicks. Would it be OK to order them together from the same place? Do you think there is a high probability of relation between the hens and roosyer? Thanks for any advice!

    Sick Week Old Chick - Pneumonia?

    I got an order of chicks last week, most of them died in shipment because it was cold, but a few survived. When I got them, they were laying down in the box barely alive. Now one of the chicks is extending its neck, and gasping for air. Could it have pneumonia? How can I treat it, and should I...

    Roosters in Pullet Orders from Ideal

    I'm going to order 26 Buff Orpington pullets from ideal, and I'm wondering if I might get a roo or two in there? I'm wanting a rooster, but I don't want to buy them seperately if I might get one with the pullets. Is it common to get any roosters in their pullet orders? Thanks, everyone!

    Blue eyed chickens?

    I was looking at my barred rocks today, and noticed they have beautiful blue eyes! I've never noticed chickens to have blue eyes before. Do all barred rocks have blue eyes? What other breeds have them, oh, and does anyone have pictures? Thanks!

    My husband wants to order some from Ideal poultry. Does anyone have some Ideal malays? What type of temperment do they have, and can they fly? Any information you can pass along will be very appreciated!

    Will a single turkey be happy?

    I am wanting to get a single male turkey for a pet. Will he be happy if it is just him, and will a single turkey strut around and make their little turkey noises? Also, I have lots of chickens and 2 ducks...will they get along with each other?
