I am looking for some show quality bantams primarily for childrens showmanship competitions. Our largefowl birds may be too big for this purpose. Please let me know what you have either in the east Tennessee area or would be willing to ship. Open to different breeds as long as they are of show...
Does anyone know the entry info for the newport show? Will be getting to keep my silkies and call ducks at my parents house so thankful for that. Have plans on newport in may if dr allows it.
Well due to a turn of events I am no longer able to keep my birds sadly and have to find everyone homes though its killing me to do it. This includes my pets, show birds, and just the basic farm flock birds. If anyone is interested in getting a few please let me know.
Can anyone suggest a good quality incubator that doesnt take up a huge amount of space? I have been using the tsc one but havent had much luck in hatching multiple species as in they are fine for turkeys but very low on ducks even with fertility checks.
I raise call ducks, sebastopol geese, lemon cuckoo orpingtons, silkies and showgirls. We have two broody geese at the moment really suprised they beat my silkies to start setting this year.
Hey everyone now that I finally have a phone that will cooperate with this site I have a major predator problem. Went out to feed today and one of my d`anver hens and tipped over a large cage. She has large single claw mark across her side that pretty much seems to have torn all the...
Mine aren't smart either, ive got 3 broody ducks and 12 broody hens
Im up to my neck in baby chicks at this point and some of them have seriously got to go asap. Anyone know of any local swaps? I cant do first monday because ill be at work so has to be on a saturday. I think I need to move the...
Im sorry to say I probably wont be able to make the picnic. I had planned on going but I just started a new job and it is wearing me out, I hope everyone has lots of fun though.
Does anyone know how to tell male from female on pigeons? I adopted a young one that is still kind of funny sounding but I have no clue which it is. It has puffed its chest out at me a few times when I feed, not too friendly.
We now have a baby sebastopol gosling hatched, shes the sweetest thing...
We brought the new hen turkey and her little one home today, shes so sweet and loves treats lol. Going to have to think of a name for her and the baby now.
Also for those who aren't familiar with it, the next show in our area will be the Jefferson Co. Fair on August 4th. This is a one day show...
Thanks, I found the website, Is the whole park by chance pet friendly, we will have a new puppy this week and it's going to be so small im afraid to leave it at home with the others. I hope the fishing is good there lol since ive never been to that lake Im planning on gettting there way early...
Where is this next picnic? I missed that post. Can someone post a link because if it's not close to where we live we might need the gps address
I love the idea for the $5 gift swap, sounds like lots of fun.
My showgirl roo I have no idea, I bought him at a show last year as a chick, the buff hen is pure catdance line, the white pullet is pure batcave lines. All the chicks are hatching large crested but I can tell I will need to work on the showgirl bearding abit, other than that they look very...
Not those, probably going to keep them, they have grown attached to my wyandotte pullets. The colors ive managed to hatch so far are buff, buff paint project, partridge and buff partridge project. My hatch rate is almost 100% with their eggs and at 80% showgirls so will have plenty lol just not...
Does anyone know where I can find a RIR roo or even a young one for that matter? Mom is wanting to raise chicks from her hens but we have no roo and have been looking for over 3 months with no luck.
Also will have plenty showgirls later in the fall if anyone is interested and possibly some pied...
Well in morristown weve been told when foxes and whatever else tore into our pens that if they were killing caged animals and destroying personal property you can put them down. Unless the pyrenese stays right with the birds its unlikely to prevent an attack but it could take care of the problem.
Does anyone have exp with turkey genetics? We lost our 6th hatchling today and are very upset because the baby was leutistic (solid white with blue eyes) not sure how often that happens in rio grande turkeys and im just guessing on their breed at this point. They could be bronze not to sure. The...
