I'm interested in purchasing ANY breed/color/whatever ..Duck, Quail, or Guinea Fowl ..EGGS! Half dozen, full dozen, Baker's dozen.. no matter...
I prefer to drive and pick them up, though, so you really need to be in the San Francisco Bay Area.
If you are interested, I have fertile eggs from...
..umm, does your Roo sit in the nest with the actively laying hen?
Since my girls ..and maybe, boy.. have been eating eggs, I have been spending more time watching their behaviours.. a LOT more time. I've discovered that Weeze'r lays in the early morning ..and Ben sits in there WITH her the...
I have a very small backyard flock ..3 Black Stars that I raised from chicks ..and Ben, my little Faverolle bantam roo. In the last day or so, I have discovered fewer eggs ..you easily notice this when there's only 3 to be expected anyway ...and I found "chewed up" shells, as well.
I am...
Palay.. she's about 2 y.o.
Obsidian.. she's somewhere in the 4-5 y.o. range ...and my home is, at least, her 5th home (and her last, if I can help it )
The new kids.. chin'kids... that is!
They are moving into a different cage tomorrow ..I didn't notice that rust along the base until...
It wasn't too long ago, I was here asking when everyone's Black Stars started laying for them... Within a few days, one of my 3 girls started ..now 2 are laying every day! (someone is still holding out on me)
And today, I got my first double! Woot!!
...please excuse the poop! I'll...
"Noodling" was one of the favored past times, as a kid growing up in a very rural area, so when I have a chance ...I still do it! Only difference is ..I'm in the city, so the good holes are limited ..I don't need a .22 nearby ...and I don't really have to be too askeered that I could lose a...
I have 3 big girls that I raised from little week old chicks ..got them back in early July. They have a beau... he's a little fella, named Ben.
From growing up on a farm, I vaguely recall pullets starting to lay around 5-6 months ..and PV, Weeze and Hannah are about that now.
What ages did...
Every time I clean up after my tiny little city flock.. a roo and 3 hens... I get some aggravation in my own upper respiratory. Immediately, I have some scratchy irritation in my nasal passage and throat ...followed by a build up of colorful mucous the next day.
Does anyone else have this...
I was out running errands for my Zoo yesterday, when this man shows up at the shop with a live trapped Chinchilla. Yes, you read that right. He claimed to have found the Chin in a parking lot somewhere else and was just dumping him on us, at the shop.
When I took the Chinchilla into my hands...
Well... we lost the battle with One and Three.. but little Two has lasted this long, and she's had one meal on her own since she hatched way back in June!!
So tonight, I figured I would push her a little further and risk force feeding her.. which can actually backfire and be very detrimental...
This boy was dumped in a local pet store ..in this rusted out cage, with huge matted knots all over his back side. As soon as I picked him up and looked in his eyes, he's been River ..and he lives in a nice big C'n C just like my other pig kids. He's had a haircut ..and he gets a grooming...
She looks like a princess ballerina ..the way she moves around the tank and her snowy white color with the pretty pink gills flickering just so.. almost like a little tutu...
...but she's really "Asesino de la Rana" ..and she's moving into a 20g L by herself, today.
I've been looking for a new male ..a bold patterned tiger or brindle morph ..and the other day, I came across this little fella.....
He's a little dehydrated, so moist towels in his travel cup...
He loupes boy ..about 7 grams now
His stripes kind of stop in a smiley shape on his sides...
This is about midway between cooled down and fired up.. as far as her coloration. She's a little flighty cuz she hasn't been handled much since hatching... and she's sub-adult now.. but I snapped a few pics of her, best I could. I think she looks a lot like a male I sold a year or so ago...
I was chatting it up about my latest clutch of Crested Geckos tonight ..and someone wanted to see an update of the one that hatched with really bold "tiger" striping, so...
Without flash..
With flash..
...and not "fired up" in either picture, of course.
I also tried to get pics of the...
I have a beautiful bantam Salmon Faverolle rooster, Benjamin, and 3 gorgeous standard Black Star pullets (almost hens, yey!) ..Piss n' Vinegar, aka. PV ..Louise, aka. Weeze ...and Hannah, lovingly called "cry baby" ...and they all have a run in the backyard. They also have a coop, but I am...
A few weeks ago, my two BOY piggies had a litter of four little piggies and yesterday, the one little boy baby reached the age of "being dangerous" LOL ..so he parted ways with his 3 sisters and Mommy
Well.. L'il Ty wasn't really thrilled about the lack of ninny on the ready ..or being...
