first one Hatched this evening on day 18! This is exciting 14 more to go 3 have pipped. I was going down to put them in lockdown at 7:30 and he or she was out. I quickly pulled the egg turner and put them into lockdown. Didn’t know what else to do. So far chick is good other working out!
These 2 look different that the rest of my eggs. This is my first hatch all the rest have obvious chicks in them. Should I toss them? I’ve had to cull several other that didn’t develop I just don’t want to do it if they are ok .
I have fertile Bantam Jubille Orphington eggs I would like to trade for some Speckled Sussex or standard size jubilee Orphington eggs. These would make a great show bird for a kid. Here are the parents. I could also swap some chicks if someone would like to go that route. Thanks!
Hey there! I have a 18 ish week old silkie I was wanting to know the gender of. I don’t care either way just need to move him if it’s a he. No crowing. Or attempts to crow.Thanks!
Had the girls out and snapped a quick pic. They have the most personality of all my birds. I have 6 of their eggs in the incubator now. Hopefully about 18 days I’ll have some babies.
Hey there! I’ve searched high and low for some of this breed and I finally got my hands on some today. They are beautiful birds I can’t wait to get some pics in the sunlight. I had to post one for now! So glad to finally have these birds.
Hello all I have to take a few Roos to the flea market tommorow and was going to see if I should take this Lavender Ameracauna with me. If it is a cockerel all 3 of my lavender pullets turned out to be cockerels.Thanks in advance.
Any idea what cross this hen might be? She has 5 toes and lays a olive egg. I don’t mind mixes lol I like her and she is a great layer for me. The one with the gold on her neck. Thanks!
Well the weather has been nasty and I had a big pile of scrap lumber and wire so me and mini me built a 7x7 tractor for some meat birds. I have raised Coturnix quail in the past so I could go that route or I can get some Cornish X. I have plenty of room they will be 100 yards from the house at...
Ive been suspicious of this bird for a while just more aggressive much more red in the comb etc. I put it on here a few weeks back and most thought pullet. Wanted to send some updated pics and see what y’all thought. I can’t keep roos. The dark headed bird is the one in question. Thanks! 15 is weeks
Went to check on the ladies this morning and had one of my quail dead in the cage. Their cage is I size a locked coop and the bird wasn’t damaged at all so I know it wants a predator. Any idea why one would seem just fine and just die? Hoping something isn’t wrong with them they all seem to be...
I was halfway considering getting some anyway and the lady I buy chickens from happened to have some hatched August 2017 and she was in a bind so I bought the 7 birds and the cage. So far I have really enjoyed them and they are some egg laying machines. Not big but lots of them. I ordered a...
Converted a 10x15 storage shed to a raised coop with run underneath and out back. I have a trap door in the floor with a ladder that goes under the floor. Going to put more buckets on the next shelf up Tommorow.
I have 5 silkie hens that are just starting laying. They are friendly birds I’m just wanting to stay with better egg producers. I’d like 100 for them all.
Ive put this bird on here before and most thought pullett. Just wanted to get an update. It’s the boss for sure no crowing but I’m suspicious. Thanks so much!
I went to the flea market today and there was a lady with a huge cage of bantams. She had them 2 for 15 and I had to snag my two favorites. Any idea on breed? They were only in that tiny cage for a 10 minute ride home. I had empty coop and run for them.
Hey! Didn’t know where to post this so I’m going to try here. What would you consider a fair price for 9-10 month old deleware and Easter Egger laying hens? I’ve been paying 25 each for what I have and was going to get 2 deleware hens Tommorow but I wanted to make sure that was somewhat inline...
Have to got to TC to get some feed as soon as I get there I’m going to post a few pic of the chick bin if anything cool jump out please let me know. They said they didn’t k kw what they had left lol. Thanks!
I have 2 lavenders 9ish weeks and wanted to get your thoughts one is larger but neither act like cockerels. What do y’all think? I’m the pick of both birds my suspect is on the right. Thank you!
One if my favorite Easter Eggers that I think may be a roo. Acts more agressive than the rest and will challenge a known roo of the same age. The one with the black head. Thanks! 8-9 weeks
