Hi Goat Lady,
Sorry, I don't have an Austrlorp. Did you mean the Orpington?
Still working on posting photos. We have had out of town company and I haven't had the chance to catch up with the photos. I took some the other day but still need to upload and post. Hope to do that...
Yes, they are all still available. Honestly, I'm not sure the Orpington can breed with the hens. If he makes any moves the other roosters go after him. He is very low man on the pecking order because of his "special needs". I'm not sure about hatching any chicks from him either. If this is...
Me too. I don't really want to put them on Craig's List as I have been contacted by some shady characters in the past who I'm afraid may have wanted to use them for fighting. I never responded to them. I just want them to have nice homes. I feel sorry for my poor hens with all of that male...
I simply have far too many roosters. The hens are taking quite a beating and the neighbors are none too happy either, I would guess. I am trying to avoid Craigs List so will try here. Hoobly will be my next stop.
Here are the guys:
Two bantam Americanas - Hatched July 3, 2013 from eggs I...
Hi All,
I have some roosters that I must re-home. My hens are taking quite a beating and I simply have too many roos. I'm afraid the neighbors are going to start complaining also. All of them are very nice guys. I would prefer not to put them on Craig's List and would like them to go to...
I am overrun with roosters and need to sell some very nice bantams. I have not had any trouble with any of these boys being aggressive. They are all really nice guys. I have one Mille Fleur, one Serama, two Araucana/Americana. They are $10 each.
I hatched these guys at my home last July...
Just an FYI about the dosage. With conflicting advice here I called the company directly. They patched me through to the vet on staff there. She said the correct dosage is 1 tsp. of powder per gallon like DAWG said. She said to mix a fresh batch EVERY DAY,( which is different than the label...
Thank you. I think this is just what I need. I have had good luck with the Tylan liquid so hopefully this will do the trick. I always appreciate the help here.
I'll start by saying that I have read multiple threads about all of the respiratory illnesses. I know they can be carriers but I am choosing to treat rather than cull. I had an outbreak in the spring that might have been brought in by a lovely rooster that I purchased or maybe it was spread...
Ha, you all will have to join "chicken lovers anonymous" like the rest of us. I have had chickens for a total of about 11 years. Each one has it's own personality and they have a way of wiggling themselves into your heart. Look at the number of folks on this site who keep chickens. Welcome...
Hi everyone. I know you all will be able to help me with this situation. I had to attend an out- of- town funeral. I left Monday morning and returned Tues. night, which left my family in charge of the chickens. I had some 4 week old chicks in the garage which I take out during the day and...
Yes, I think she was trying to pull the feathers over my eyes, but like I said, I was almost certain he was a Blue Splash Cochin ( I was looking for a cochin roo there) so I don't feel cheated. I have had many a cochin. They are one of my favorite breeds. He's a lovely bird. Actually, I feel...
Went to a poultry swap a couple of months ago and I see this very pretty - what I assume - is a Blue Splash Cochin rooster. Looked like one to me, anyway. I look him over, he looks healthy, I inquire about him. "Is this a Blue Splash Cochin"?, I ask. The woman says "No, he's a Blue...
