    How many cockerels do you count?

    These bantams are not quite 7 weeks old - we've been 'discussing' this since I took the pics. 2 mottled cochin, 2 mille fleur, and 1 porcelain d'uccles. 1 has crowed (twice). This is kinda just for fun - I know the picks aren't the best. This is how I spend Saturday nights.

    Oddly textured, thin shelled eggs

    We have a flock of 7 hens that turned 3 yrs in April. The 3 poofy heads lay white (1 Polish & 2 Houdan), 2 Faverolles lay brown, 1 Cream Legbar lays blue, and the easter egger lays a light pinkish brown, and I know who lays which egg. (Sorry, bragging on my babies) 3 days ago, (7th) we found...

    12-13 week old layer?

    I have 6 pullets from TSC, that should now be 12 weeks old - we picked them up on 3/20: I actually believe we got what we wantedt; 1 BCM cockerel (crows), 1 Ancona cockerel (crows), 3 barred rock pullets, 2 black sex link pullets, and 1 Buckeye pullet. None have crowed, and the boys started...

    Adding three 2wk old keets to four 10 wk old keets?

    My 10wk old micro-flock of 4-Guineas-who-bonded-with-an-ancona-cockerel, are doing great :rolleyes:, but somehow 'we' rescued three 1-2 wk old keets. (Said rescue included 4 Turkens.) Can we integrate the new guineas into the existing flock? When? How? They're maybe 2 weeks old - wait until...

    Turkens?

    (Don't know what happens to posts with no title, or maybe I posted at the end of a thread, but this is a repeat.) 4 turkens and 3 Guineas, 'rescued' from TSC, had no food or water, last ones. They had to have been there all weekend, so less than or about a week old? The ohe I'm holding weighed...

    'Supposed' to be a pullet...?

    This little one is from a hatchery order with a 5/5 hatch date, so 3 weeks old today. Photos were yesterday. They sooo do not want to pose.... I ordered 2 Porcelain d'uccle pullets, right now this is the only gender question. I think I need to wait on the other one. She's the same age, but...

    TSC Bantam mix - Breeds

We had one more that we nursed, & nursed, finally she turned the corner and is now thriving - after 10 intense days, she weighed 20 grams. My orher half was in TSC, they had mixed bantams...

    Naked Neck Breeders near me? SW New Mexico

    Off the beaten path here. And not in a particular hurry. I'd like to introduce Naked necks to my flock, and have been checking out hatcheries, and trying to find breeders. I'm finding that hatcheries have too large a minimum order for chick's, or they're out of stock. I finally have my...

    Back with my bigger babies - genders?

    Time to introduce the slow developers. We have a couple of larger roosters, and needed larger hens...2 Faveroles and 2 Buckeyes, but am curious as to whether or not there are anymore boys in the mix. 15 weeks old today. The faveroles were kind enough to sit together for the photo op. Buckeyes...

    Easter Egger guessers?

    Me again, same flock. They were my birthday present this year: Hatched on my birthday, too, 4/25. All were ordered as pullets. I ordered 2 Green Queen EEs, for high probability of green eggs (also 2 Cream Legbars for blue - hooray for sex-link genes!) and 3 'random' EEs. None of the 5 were...

    Focusing on the polish

    These babies hit 14 weeks yesterday. Hoping for pullets, but wouldn't get rid of a cockerel. These were after their peak-temp watering (hottest part of the day fresh water - nice cool well water - & foot ponds)

    Southern New Mexico Chooks

    Hmm, awkward... My first post in a social forum. For those of you thinking 'Chooks? What are those? It's just a Canadian/Australian/New Zealand term for chickens. We have hens and (too many) roosters. 1. Chicken history: Infrequent encounters until 6 years ago. Found Paradise, became the wife...
