I have raised chicks for years. Never got an upside down baby before, Until tonight...
I'm incubating some duck eggs, that I'm hand turning. I tossed in 3 quail eggs just because there was no room for them in the egg carton in the fridge. I didn't even expect to get a hatch, but here's quail 3...
I have two standard cochins who just don't seem to get fat, they're a little over a year old. One's a rooster the other's a hen. And the hen does lay eggs in the warm season. I'd just like to put a little more fat on them to make them cold weather hardy. My chicken feed for all the birds (who...
I live in Oldham County Ky, that's a little outside of Louisville. I could pm you more info if you are interested.
I have for sale, 4 young Orpington mixed pullets. One is a suspected cockerel. i'd like $6 on each, they come from great egg laying stock. Also two 5day old chicks I believe are...
My lil quail got his face pecked by his sibleings and lost alot of blood at 2 days old. I thought he wouldn't make it but he bounced back just slightly tinier. Tonight though he just got... droopy. He's sleeping really hard I keep thinking he is dead everytime I look into the brooder. I got him...
Does any one know what Letter theya re asking for in the Ky State Fair show requirements and rules? They ask for all exhibators to enter in a letter along with their form. I swear I've never written a letter for it before. And I can't imagine what the letter is suppose to say. Does any one know????

Meet Mr. Feather Bottom. I've sadly lost his mate. He's from a good line of show quality Brahmas, has won a couple of shows in the past and is a little older than 2 years old. He also thrown me some excellent chicks. I really do love this chicken. selling him is not easy. I just don't really...
here some of my new and old chickens from my photos I took this spring.
I just felt like sharing pictures of my cuteys and I figured where else but here!
I am located outside of Louisville Ky in Oldham County. The Farthest I'm willing to go is to Cinncinatti.
I've also got 4 of the sweetest little chicks free to a good home.They are getting their feathers in. I'm not 100% about gender but I'm thinking they are all girls. they are only a couple...

This is Lion Head, she's my favorite little girl she rides along on my shoulder while I am feeding everyone else in the early morning. She will follow me right into the house if I let her
I got this wonderful...
I missed 3 of my usual shows and the other few I usually do this time of year I can not find information on. Does any one know any Kentucky shows coming up other than the Kentucky state fair? Or Indiana shows and possibly Ohio ones as well. Thank you.
I found a goose egg at the park, it's one of those parks where people dump easter ducklings and goslings at and they get eaten up by the wild life... But there's a few surviving domestic geese there that never nest because little kids attack their nests and racoon's steal from them. So I found...
My quail are ranging from ages 1-2 years all 6 little girls and 2 boys. I hatched out over 20 babies last summer for my first time hatching. I'm ready to do more with my quail. I'd like to get them to lay more so I can add on to my flock. Right now they are only laying according to seasons. They...
These are my Millie Fleur D'Uccles. I got them for show birds but every summer I let them sit on a few eggs and hatch a couple chicks. People now have been calling and emailing me wanting eggs and chicks they can't get over how beautiful they are when they grow up. And I figured. Well supply...
Raven Claw is her/his name. This bird was hatched by my husbands pet silkie. She hatches out almost all the eggs here. My husband wanted to keep this bird but as it got older I'm no longer sure it's a female and if it's a rooster we just can't have anymore. This bird is a MillieFluer...
My bantam flock was diagnosed with a bacterial sinus infection by my vet. He's a very good vet but he specializes in raptors not in poultry. He is the only avian vet in my area. I never take my chickens to the vet, only birds I take are my hawks. Any way I finally broke down and took a sick...
I have been showing my birds for a couple of years and I'm ready to start getting more competitive with my Millie Fleur D'uccles. should I get the American Poultry Association book or the American Bantam Association book? I ask because I'm curious if the Apa book includes bantams. If it does...
I was perscribed Batryl to treat my ill flock of bantams. The vet said I could find it at any tractor supply store but none of them carry it or have heard of it. I can't find it any where but I bought Tylan instead because it seems to cover the same things but I am scared to give it to the flock...
