Howdy all,
I have four cameo pea chicks that are about 4 months old and am wondering if I have boys or girls. I only have 3 pictured here because one is in the garage being treated for a scratched eye. I am new to peas so let me know what you think or if I need to take more pictures from a...
I bought 4 turkey poults in the spring at the feed store because DH wanted Thanksgiving dinner. The bin was labeled bronze turkey poults. I have gotten quite attached to the little boogers but I am now concerned that they are double breasted and won't be able to survive as pets on the farm. How...
Save these nice boys from the soup pot!! 2 one year old breeding quality splash bantam cochin cockerels and 1 one year old pet quality black cochin cockerel. I have too many boys and hate to put these fellas in the butcher pen, they are such nice roosters and handsome fellas. They were all just...

Hi all, I have a lovely pair of splash bantam cochins that I need to find a new home for. I have too many boys! These birds are about 4 1/2 months old and were hatched from eggs from a fellow byc member. They are both very sweet with beautiful feathering and decent shape. They still have a lot...
Hi all,
I have a gold laced wyandotte who went broody several days ago and has been sitting on unfertilized eggs. After a few days of sitting I thought I would get her some eggs. SO the fertile eggs are on the counter in the kitchen and I moved her last night to a hutch outside of the coop so...
This is a 5-6 month old silkie that I hatched from three cedars silkies eggs, the pictures do not do this gorgeous bird justice! I am trying to decide if it is a pullet or cockerel. Opinions?
Hi hatching experts!
I received a box of shipped serama eggs today the the postal service did a number on. The box was all banged up and two eggs were broken. One of the eggs broke and flew all over the box and there are dried egg guts all over the other eggs. I was really excited about these...
Hi all,
I know everyone says don't open the bator til the hatch is over but I have a dilemma. I have 7 silkie eggs in lockdown in my piece of junk LG with fan. Saturday was hatch day but my first day of lockdown my temp was a degree low for about 15 hours and I have struggled to keep the temp...
Pair of black standard cochins. I hatched these birds out in July as a test hatch for my incubator. The plan was to butcher all the cockerels this fall but this guy is too sweet and gorgeous to send to the freezer so I would like to find the pair a new home. They both have nice feathering to the...
Hi to all you chicken experts,
I had a moment of weakness the other day at the feed store and have 5 bantam chicks but no idea what they are! Anyone want to take a guess for me?
I have a pair of silkies that are about 4 1/2 to 5 months old. I purchased them from Revolutionmama a fellow byc member and was really hoping for two pullets but one just started crowing! I live in town and can't have a rooster so I would like to find someone locally that would give them a great...
Hi chicken hatching gurus!
I have a question about temp and I have read a lot of posts about this but want to get this hatch right as my first was a complete failure. I have an LG with a fan (I know, get a Hova) It is coming in the mail but not in time for these eggs! Anyway, I am doing fine...
Hi all,
I have been lurking and learning for several months and figured I best introduce myself in case I have questions! We built a small backyard coop and have 2 australorps, 2 cuckoo marans and 1 light brown leghorn pullet out there that are about 7 weeks old. I also just got 2 lavender...
