I raise Barred Rocks for meat & eggs. Not a lot of white meat on the Heritage breeds, but the roos make great chicken salad & noodles & legs for frying. The roos are no tougher than the hens. I cull at about 6 months. What makes a bird tough is improper aging. The bird needs to be iced for 3-4...
WOW!!! PJ is really looking great! And the Cuckoo gals crests are wonderful! I love seeing "my" babies grown up! I don't post on this forum a lot, but kind of lurk & learn. Thank-you so much for sharing the pics!
I have eggs in the incy due to hatch on the 21st. I do not ship chicks, yet. Waiting for my new building to be put up before I go that far. If you want to pick some up, that would be fine. Just give me 5 weeks to get the eggs together & hatch them. My phone # is (317) 371-3561, if you are...
Yes, I made the yo-yo quilt. Not often that I meet anybody who knows what it is! I do yo-yo quilts for $500.00 each for full sized beds in the colors ordered. They take me around 3 months each to make. I have a lot of Cuckoo Polish & will separate them once the bad weather has passed. I just...
My Polish are my sweetest pets. Spoiled little brats. In the summer, I will separate out the colors, as I have the pens. My d'Uccles are just coming out of molt & should be laying soon.
The shipping is included in the price of the eggs. if you want to come and pick them up, I'd let you have them for 25 bucks.I am in Groveland Indiana, but have a Coatesville address.
12 + Polish Bantam Hatching Eggs ~ I do not have my colors separated right now, as I pen them all together for warmth in the heated coop in the winter, so any colors, as well as splashes are possible. I send 12, plus whatever else I can fit into the box.
The first image is my favorite Frizzled...
Check around for a good breeder. The pics in the response above are lovely! Watch the forums & CraigsList. I sold all of my Ameraucanas through CraigsList last year.
Like somebody mentioned... close off the best boxes at night for a week or so. Just make sure to get out to open them up early, so the hens don't start laying elsewhere.
I will be setting a Hatch in the next few days. The friend of mine just ordered some BCM eggs, and I just can't resist popping few mine in with hers. she didn't want to risk them in her incubator, solar pop them in my sportsman. Just waiting on them to get here. :-)
IMO The best wormer for chickens is SafeGuard For Goats. 1 oz per gallon of water for 3 days. 10 day egg withdrawal & no need to repeat. Unlike most poultry wormers, it also kills Cecal Worms, one of the most common in poultry.
