I know Easter is a few months away. I am just curious if any hatchery or farm or anyone will be selling the colored Easter chicks next Easter? I know a lot of people are against it and it is illegal in some states.
Thanks in advance for any input.
We have 5 little EErs that are 9 days old today. We noticed today one has a little cross beak started. Anyone with any experience with a cross beak? I will start my research now and see what I can find out.
We were in a neighboring town about 45 miles away on Thursday and passed a feed store do decided to go in. What did we find? Easter Egger pullet chicks for $3 each. I talked myself out of it and left. Yesterday I started adding the weeks up and figured out by next Easter I could have some...
Went away for 5 days, came back found 5 eggs. We have 2 RIR, 1 Barred, 2 Buffs and 2 Tetras.
Took us 2 days to figure out who it is and its one of the tetras.
She is laying medium size white eggs.
They are all about 5 months old.
By the end of the week I am looking at having around 20k mealworms. Locally they are selling $ 40 for 2000. I will be interested in selling a few. We can figure out a price per 100, 500, 1000 etc plus shipping. I do have papal. I need to research how to ship them but I am willing if anyone...
Currently we have 11 nine week olds. Three days ago the neighbor gave us 5 two day old fuzzy butts. Luckily we had everything we needed to get them set up. Will be interested seeing what they look like when they grow up. Daddy is a fighting rooster just dont know which one and I forgot what...
When does the pecking stop? They are all the same age, around 7 weeks. Now I have 11 total and 3 of them I am 99% sure are roos. Only two of the new ones get picked on and mostly by the roos. I'm starting to feel sorry for them.
Reba, my 4 week old RIR is in a pet contest but she doesn't know it. Lol. She is the favorite of 8 chicks.
As you would imagine Reba is the lone chick in a competition with mostly dogs and a few cats. Reba needs all the help she can get. Please vote at the link below. If for some reason its...
I have 8 that will be 4 weeks old on Tuesday. They have been outside from day 1. I close them up at night with the light and let them out in the run in the morning. The lows at night are mid 70s currently and the highs up to 100 already. We did have a cold spell earlier this week lows were in...
Bought 6 from TSC and they are 2 1/2 weeks old now. I have 2 that are a little bigger, more mature if you will. They do everything 1st and couple days later the others follow suit.
I posted pics a couple weeks ago and someone said cornish meaties which I hope is not true.
Here is a couple...
I live in S. Texas where it is already hot. Today's high will be 100 and the lows are mid 70's. My chicks are 2 weeks old today, I have a total of 8. I have had them 10 days and they have been outside since day 1. I have them 100% enclosed away from wind, rain (like it rains here lol) during...
A guy answered a ad on Craigslist for free chickens. By the time he drove the 3 1/2 hours to pick them up they changed their minds. He was wanting like $1000 but only got $280 for gas and his time. I wish I could sue these idiots that say they are on their way to buy items I have listed on CL. I...
I really didn't mean to buy them, I was just going in to look at them.
I have no idea what I bought, I got 3 from one tub and 3 from the other. All the pullets were sold.
My girlfriend picked out 3 because they were yellow, told her in a few days that will change. LOL
I live in Rio Grande...
I worked for a very large call center. They are based out of SLC Utah and they are in over 30 different countries.
I researched the company before I started working there and knew they hold employees paychecks after payday and have been sued and settled out of court for $2M. I needed a job and...
Been doing a lot of research on a chicken tractor with a low budget. I decided on using pallets for my tractor. I know where a stack of pallets are that I'm sure I can have. I decided to tear the pallets down and use most of the wood. I noticed a few people use the whole pallet as a wall or...
New member as of today, been lurking awhile. Recently moved to Mission Tx from North Texas to be with my girlfriend and her daughter. We are about 5 miles from Mexico, a little different than what I'm used to but adjusting well.
Looking at raising some girls as a hobby and of course can't beat...
