    Bantam blue/back Orpington flock - Pick up- Northern Cal

    I have to re-home my chickens--long story--zoning.... :-( I have two roosters (blue) and five hens (two blue, three black). I have raised these guys from eggs, from 3 different good breeders. Disease free and very healthy. Two of the hens are currently laying, another hen is broody on eggs...

    Would like to share pictures of my gorgeous blue and black bantam orpingtons. (pics taken in December). I currently have blue two roosters, two months apart in age, ranging from 8-10 months old right now. I already culled several roosters and kept these two. I also have two 9 month old pullets...

    "Neutered" dog question

    scbatz33 is correct. As long as he was properly neutered, you are okay. I have heard of vets missing a crytorchid testicle and getting a female pregnant, but it is very rare. It usually happens at shelter or spay clinics where the procedures are done quickly. Your neutered dog will probably...

    chickens and vegetable gardens??

    They don't eat garlic or onions. In fact, the chickens will eat the weeds around the garlic, so you don't have to do any weeding! A 3 foot fence works to keep out our heavy breed hens from the rest of the veggies. The RIR could probably fly over if she wanted, but the chickens get so much food...

    australian shepherd lovers..

    What breed does this look like?

    Yeah, I'm afraid she's a he. I don't think he's an EE- no EE features are apparent. Looks like a bantam, though. Maybe it's a Serama?

    Roo or pullet? - 9 wk bantam EE's *pics*

    So the blue with white lacing does look like a Roo? I wasn't 100% sure on that one either. If anyone likes these cute chickies, I hatched them from jmhappycowboy!!!! They are relatively quiet and docile.

    Roo or pullet? - 9 wk bantam EE's *pics*

    I hatched out 3 bantam EE's. I think I know the sex on two of them, but not sure on the white one. 8 1/2 weeks old in the shots where I'm holding the one in question: 9 weeks old exactly in these photos. Roo on left? He acts like a Roo with the confirmed Roos in the tractor. pullet in...

    When should i shave my cat?

    Quiet Clippers are important... Turn on the clippers away from the cat before you bring them to his body...just in case he freaks out about the noise. Trim the nails first. Use clippers with an attachment that leaves about a 1/4" of hair You might have to do it in several time periods. Cats...

    one eyed chick!

    I hatched a chick like that recently - https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=148547&p=1 I gave the chick away to a friend, she said at first he had a hard time as the other chicks (many) starting getting older. She seperated him from the large group, and kept a few of the...

    Update on "Chick foot growth"....and questions...

    Wish I had more to say to help you... but she looks like she has a dwarf gene. Not just because she is smaller, but the leg length compared to body ratio and the other physical differences. There is a pic of a dwarf Marans at the bottom of this page, so you can get an idea of what I mean...

    hatched a chick w/ one eye, slight crooked beak.

    Thanks. I'm secretly hoping it doesn't want to eat & drink because culling it will be a lot easier for me. I won't have that "what if" feeling involved. I also feel like I could cull it easily before I get attached. I'm a vet tech so I'm used to euthasania when it's needed; but if I get...

    hatched a chick w/ one eye, slight crooked beak.

    Not sure if I am posting this in the right section...it's kinda a mix between three forum topics.... I just hatched a one-eyed chick from a bunch of mixbreed chicken eggs from someone on this forum. There's one normal eye, and one totally missing eye (no eye socket). THe chick's beak is...
