After setting three different batches of eggs, I've managed to hatch all cockerals. I'm taking a break from the breed for a bit and have three cockerals to rehome. They all hatched from brown eggs. The oldest - pictured - is about 18 weeks. the other two are just under a week old and 14 weeks...
I've got three Rhodebar roosters looking for new homes. I hatched out three different sets of eggs and ended up with a no pullets, so these guys need to go. PM me for details.
He's the oldest, he's beautiful! about 18 weeks old. I have another that is about 14 weeks old, and a third...
anyone interested in Rhodebars? after trying with 3 different batches of eggs I've got three roosters. I'm giving up on the breed. roosters range in age from day old to 16 Weeks. pm me for more info.
Last time I asked about rolling back to a roll back, it only goes to the last two offers, even if the last offer was a rollback. Only the last two offers are valid, no further....
In response to an ad I placed on CL for chickens - "Since you have a bunch of chickens, would you kill one of mine for me? She's sick and suffering and I don't think I can do it myself." Um. No.
Just happened to glance out my window and see my Rhodebar roo (hatched in Feb) do his thing with one of my SBEL hens! Yeah! Now I just need to hatch a girl or two for him!
Was there ever a determination made on limiting the time for future swaps to 2 months? I remember watching the talk but not hearing a final decision...
I moved all the 10 week olds to the "big girl" coop. Last week. I started rehearsals this week, so I get home at about 11:30 at night. When I get home, I have to go move all the silly teenage chicks from a pile next to the fence near the baby coop to the roosts in the big girl coop. Monday...
Hmmm... Good to know....I vaguely recall a slight temp spike, but I can't remember when. I did a staggered hatch, so the humidity was higher the first week than normal...perhaps that lowered the O2 levels?
I just set my last batch for the season. I'll keep an eye on the temp... and check the...
What causes deformed chicks? A couple chicks out of my last batch pipped, but when they did no more, and I started to help them, I noticed they were deformed. One was missing an eye, it's head was almost smooched-like. The other one looked like the brain delevoped outside the skull....?
I'll be sure to mention that. At 7, she's a little young for impacted teeth. I have had migraines since I was a kid, so I'm not surprised. It's just tough to watch her in pain and having to be poked and prodded.
