    Quaker Parakeet - Houston TX

    Update: This bird will be going to Spring Branch Bird Rescue by Friday, Aug. 31st. After that it will cost you to adopt him. A Quaker Parakeet literally flew into my life a few months ago. He was evidently turned out or got loose and I've never been able to find the owner. The silly thing is...

    What breed is this guy?

    He's 16 weeks old. This was one of those feed store chicks from an assortment and as a chick it looked like a normal black tuxedo coloring. Smaller chick than most, so for a while I thought they might be bantams. I had 3, dogs killed 2 of them. One of the others was also a rooster and had a...

    Give them babies or try to break them?

    I just let two broodies raise babies and the babies are three months old. I plan to let them grow to laying size then sell them. Well of course two more are now broody and one of them is one of the same ones that just weaned some chicks (well, not 'just' but you get the idea). So that leaves me...

    Orp/Dk. Cornish cross Roo Houston TX area

    This is the sweetest guy but I just won't be able to use him. He has been around children and adults and has never shown the least amount of aggression to any people though I can't swear he never will. His dad though is a sweetie and isn't aggressive either. He is protective and good to his hens...

    Probably not a record but just wow

    When I hatched my black orps, I only had two pullets (and three cockerels of course ) and one of the pullets was the "runt." Well the lady next door has a great granddaughter that is just in love with me and my chickens and they've had bad luck with their hatchery ones so I gave them my "runt."...

    Stupid breeding question - Orpingtons

    Alright first, this question is for future reference. I've already made me decision and it could well have been the wrong one. But in the future, anyway enough of that.. on to the question. I have some nice breeder quality APA Orpingtons. And some (I think they're nice!) part English blue orps...

    Roo needs instructions

    So, my Orpington roo, a cockerel really, 10 months old, has been busy and finally his sister started laying. She's quite a bit bigger than the others he's been able to breed, almost as big as he is. I have been dying to get fertile eggs from those two and I'm still not getting any! I couldn't...

    Ok why isn't Big Girl laying?

    I have a Buff Orp that quit laying. Ok everyone has hens that have quit laying, I know, but she should be laying. She molted pretty heavily in September then resumed laying really well. Then, almost 2 weeks ago, she just stopped. Just.. nothing for more than 10 days. I'm stumped. Everyone else...

    Tail wagging question

    Ok this is kind of a silly question, but in your opinion, does one shaking or wagging it's tail mean it's happy or something else? I'd always heard it meant a happy hen. But now I wonder. This is why: A couple months ago I sold one of my big orpington pullets to the grandchild next door. This...

    Possibly Delicate (and funny) question re: my roo

    Ok I got this big fluffy butted roo, around 9 lb black orpington, 7 months old. His fluffy butt needs a wash. I plan on giving it a trim also. Now for the crazy question... Will the stubble be too uncomfortable for the harem? Or will the wash be enough? He's going to have a fit LOL but he...

    Sick Meaty. What's wrong with it?

    I got some cornish x from mypetchicken (I know, LOL) last week and one is sick. At first, all were just as robust as any other. Then, starting a few days ago, one started getting calmer and calmer. Yesterday I knew for sure something was wrong with it. It was just laying and sleeping and not...

    Best breed for - yep you guessed it

    I know there are many breeds that are great for guarding livestock as they have been bred for it for hundreds of years. But those are all huge and will suffer in our heat, plus out of my price range. Now, I know "it depends" is probably the best answer here, but I'm going to ask anyway: What...

    Easy way to delete multiple private messages

    Is there an easier way to delete multiple pm's? I clean my inbox from time to time and just find it a drag to have to open each one and delete it separately. I think that may be why some people's inboxes are always full.

    Another GMO thread

    I saw this video today of Dr. Don Huber, Professor Emeritus of Plant Pathology, Purdue University, discuss lowered manganese and other nutrients plus reduced fertility in animals (including poultry) who are fed crops raised with Roundup. Of course only GMO crops can be raised this way, so I...
