I was just given this pair of Lady Amherst pheasants! I am in the process of building them a proper coop and run but for now they are in a smaller cage. I know that they shouldnt be mixed with my other birds, with that in mind, I guess I will move them further away from my chickens... I don't...
I posted last night with one of my 6 new chicks from Buchheits. They were bought from the assorted bantam bin. If ya'll could help me with breed and sex, I would be thrilled!! I am pretty sure that chick #1 is a roo! Here are the chicks:

I have (2) Standard Cochin cockerels for sale. They were taken to the fair by the girl I got them from and the Buff won 1st and the Black took 3rd. They seem to be pretty nice guys and I really want them to find a nice loving home. I believe these guys would be good for a hobby breeder as they...
So... I just bought three new chickens today and was *told* that they have all placed in a recent show. I didnt ask for confirmation or anything like that because they were practically given to me. I was told that the silky took 1st, the buff also took 1st and the black took 3rd. Do you all...
Ok... So I got a couple of new Banty Cochins. I was told that they are roosters and I am pretty sure that the black one is a rooster, but I am not sure about the buff. Any ideas? Also, any comments on what quality these two are?? I'm not so good at judging quality unless I have a poor and an...
So... I am FINALLY getting a ROO for my cochin hen!!! I found one that has placed well at several shows and I AM SO EXCITED to bring him home tomorrow!! But... how long does he need to be with my hen before the eggs she starts laying are fertile?? And... is it too late in the year to hatch out...
So I have some young Royal Palm poults. They were hatched this past Spring. I know how much I paid when I bought my breeding pair, but am wondering how much I should sell the young ones for now. I have one person wanting just a male and another wanting a pair... Lucky me, I have two males and...
I have two RP poults that are holding their wings funny. It's like they are being lazy and not wanting to hold them up tight. They are less than a week old and are just getting feathers on their wings. Is this normal? These are my first poults so I have no idea... also, If this is not normal and...
So... these are all just hatchery chicks... these are my very first chickens and I bought them before I knew that there were differences But I still like my little ones anyways... and plan on getting some new stock to start a small hobby breeding thing... but anyways... I have some silkies and...
Ok... So my sister-in-law gave me these goose eggs because they keep getting robbed from the poor mother's nest. I want to go ahead and incubate them but I know that it is best not to wash the eggs before putting them in the bator. But these eggs are DIRTY!!! So I was wondering if washing them...
I just got a few Silkie chicks and my daughter told me last night that she would like to try showing them. I think that it would be fun, and I would enjoy breeding them and working towards really awesome show quality stock, and we have a little experience in breeding for shows because we...
Hi Everyone!
I just bought some hatchery choice straight run Bantam chicks and was wondering if you all could help me figure out what they are? I tried looking it up myself, but there were so many and truthfully, I don't have the patience I know the pictures are not the greatest, but once...
