    Special needs laying hens

    I posted these girls before but not much interest. Trying again. Freeda is a red sexlink, lays daily, she's mostly blind, but can see a little. She requires a heat source with this cold weather. Monica is an amberlink, she's a normal chicken, loves people and will follow you anywhere. She's the...

    trio of BLRW/Americauna cross hens

    Just turned a year old, not laying regularly due to winter. These are decent sized hens, would be good for dual purpose breeding. Pick up in Becket MA, or will deliver locally for added fee.

    Georgia legislation, can you verify this info?

    I'm considering relocating, and trying to find a place that will allow me to have my girls. I found this website but I'd like to have the info verified by people who know the areas. If you can confirm ot correct any of it I'd appreciate it...

    Newest coop in progress *Pics*

    Just thought I'd share. The foot print is 8x8, the tallest wall is 5' 5", I am 5' 0" so it's tall enough for me to stand comfortably. The shortest wall is a hair above 36". This will be the turkey house for the next month until they're sent to freezer camp, then the girls will move in. It will...

    Wont stop mating

    In Feb I hatched out about 30 quail, the majority of them made their way to the freezer but I kept a couple. One of the keepers is an italian roo, he cannot be kept with hens as he's mauled one and I dont want to risk him killing them. When he's alone he's spastic and will mate the entire time...

    Death and a dilemma, what would you do?

    Two weeks ago my italian rooster(Giovanni) decided he had too many girls and maimed the pharaoh hen that was with him. This was the second time I'd found her bloody, and the first time I had seen him actively attacking her. So she came out, has mostly recovered and is doing well. Tonight I found...

    Turkey help

    I posted on the turkey board but apparently nobody over there likes to help new people. So, yesterday I got 4 aprox. 1 week old poults. I didn't notice until after we got home that they had crustiness around their eyes when I got them, it isn't overly noticeable. 3 of the 4 have it. They've not...

    New to turkeys, 4 new poults. Pics added

    Today after a month of searching I finally got some turkey poults. They were advertised as "Bronze." After we got home I checked them over a bit more carefully, 3 have crusty around their eyes. I can't be sure that it wasn't just due to poor housing, I met the man at TSC. The crustiness isn't...

    Newest TSC rescue.

    A while back I posted pics of a light brahma I rescued from TSC with an eye injury. The one reply I got said to cull him. He just went to a new home with his friends who I was told would pick on him. They got along fabulously and are now going to be free ranged. Today we stopped in TSC and I...

    Double yolker, I think not.

    I've seen pics of large eggs on here, and a rare small one, so I thought I'd share todays find. Probly not the a record breaker but it is small, it was laid by a 7 week old. I also got my first pure white egg from my older girls. I didn't get a pic of the white egg. The eggs in the bowl are all...

    Eye injury, what are the options?

    Two weeks ago we got some chicks at TSC. When we got them into the brooder we noticed the light brahma had what looked like a pecking injury to its eye. It was swollen and a little bloody. Over the last two weeks we've been treating the eye with antibiotics (neosporin and arethromycin at...

    Death by stress, how common? and a health q.

    We had 27 quail destined for the freezer in about 2 weeks. We have been separating the males and females to try to limit the fighting. In the hen house we have one male, which will be staying around as a replacement roo. Tonight we noticed that the girls must have gotten in a small fight and one...

    Spangled OEGB cockerels

    I have two 5.5 week old OEGB cockerels that need new homes. They came from show lines and have fantastic personalities but I cannot have a rooster. No fighting as of yet and one is very attached to the other. Located in western Ma, about 40 minutes to CT, 30 to NY. I will drive to meet someone...

    Ink on chicks head?

    A few days ago I got an extra light brahma in case the one with a bum eye doesn't make it. The new one was in a bin of straight run chicks at TSC, and had a spot on it's head. I thought it might just be a weird marking but now it's fading and appears to have been an ink mark, it's not poo or...

    New kids on the block

    TSC here finally got chicks in today, so of course some came home. They were supposed to be here last week but supposedly the hatchery thought chicks were illegal in Massachusetts. They had a bunch of light brahmas, cornish x's, RIR pullets, black jersey giants pullets, and pre-sold bantams...

    Anyone guesses as to what they are?

    I had swapped some coturnix roos for some chicken eggs back in January. The eggs supposedly came from ameraucanas, BLRW, and OEGB, all were supposed to be SQ and in separated breeding pens. The OEGBs look pure although I dont think they are SQ(?). But the rest all look the same except for one. I...

    Vaccine and health q's

    I have read somewhere that if you have chicks that have been vaccinated you shouldn't have them with chicks that haven't because the virus in the vaccine can infect the chicks without the vaccine. Is this true? And has anyone had any health related issues introducing TSC chicks to non-vaccinated...
