This is either a Bantam RIR hen with pearl-white leghorn roo--OR a bantam RIR hen with golden Sebright roo. It was the oddest, washed-out tips on its feathers. They are a very, very, washed-out red. I am thinking the daddy is the white leghorn. All their previous offspring had the typical...
Anyone got pictures of their pallet barns? My buddy and I have access to free pallets and I was thinking about building a goat and chicken barn. Also, using some to build the buck pen for our new buck! I figured I'd mount the pallets on boards to keep them off the ground, just gotta figure out...
Do you think I should feed them more protein for good feather production? I upped my RIR roos fats and protein and he looked fantastic. These are breeding adults, not chicks.
Now, other than the SS, every chick I have does well and acts strong.
Are these weak birds in the hatcheries? I got some from mcmurray and some came from another hatchery. ALL of the chicks are much weaker than the ones I hatched and the others that came from the hatchery.
I got them from...
My "drake" runner duck--his tail curls are now gone. "He" quacks (quietly) and I didn't see a you-know-what when I vented "him". It had the curly feathers on the tail and now nothing, LOL. Its like they just disappeared overnight.
I haven't seen it trying to get my hens either. I ended up with...
I started selling plants and miniature fairy gardens/accessories to get more livestock and pay for fencing--etc. Then I met the most amazing people when I started posting ads looking for livestock!
One friend I met on LSN, she's the Yardsale Queen and somehow manages to get everything for .50...
I have a drake and was wondering if they are worth having on a homestead? If they are I am gonna get a couple of hens. I know nothing about this breed. Does he look worth breeding? He has white speckles on his head, think he might be a cross? His feet are orange with black lacing.
My new little bantams. Got the pair for 10.00. She is already laying her heart out and trying to go broody, lol. Were getting another pair from this lady on Tuesday! He is so teeny weeny, lol.
My other new ones!
And these too! We got more just dont have pictures. these are in...
They're young but the hen laid an egg in the cage on the way here, LOL. I haven't actually vent sexed them yet. I know at least one is a hen though LOL.
Chocolate our bantam RIR hen decided to make a break for it. I built them a run (yea, apparently not a very good one!) and the little sneak got out somehow. And then she went over to Moses, our standard pearl-white leghorn and mated with him! I have been keeping her with our sebright so I could...
I can't remember if I posted this picture or not.
Is this what it will look like with this cross? I had a thread where y'all told me what they would probably look like. I found this image when I searched for this cross. It looks in my mind like what was described.
Thanks guys!!!
That would produce black sexlinks with rosecombs, right? I swear, I am writing this stuff down so I can stop pestering you guys with stupid questions on genetics!
Would they be good egglayers? I have a dommie that is trying to go broody and I was gonna let her, lol.
This is not a for sale thread. I am just looking for advice on if I am pricing this stuff right.
I don't want to rip people off but I also don't want to rip my husband off, LOL.
