YIPPIDY!!!! My DH is gonna kill me... LOL. I'll let the poster know and PM you ASAP. BTW: I had to laugh at your chick's name... my coworkers call me "Beeker". Long story, but I embrace it. LOL

I saw that. I'm tempted Helaine. Awfully tempted. I'm just thinking about doing some breeding and I'm not hip on the mottled genes. I've figured out how to get blue, black, and splash from my blue hen but don't know what's up with mottles. Plus, I like how big standards are. Then again, I've...

Ok, so I'm wanting some blue or black cochins to go with my remaining blue cochin girl. This guy lives in Granite Falls and works in Everett. Not anywhere near me. Is anyone in Kitsap or even Tacoma or DT Seattle wanting cochins and willing to meet this guy? I can't drive up to Everett, and...

What are the biggest quails?

I didn't read the entire thread, but I've got 3 Wheaten Marans cockerels from the Bev Davis line and hatched NO HENS. HELP! I need hens!!! I'm also wanting BC Marans (the bator flipped out on me while I was at work and killed all of the embryos who were about to hatch!) Lastly, I'm wanting to...

Quick question: where'd you get her?!?! I've got 3 roos and am wanting a few hens but they're not very common around here. LOL. Here's what the person I got my eggs from said on her site: "Wheaten Marans originated in western France in the town of Marans and are best known for their dark brown...

Gotta question. I have a tiny (TINY!) bantam hen. She's a brahma/silkie mix. She's smaller than my 4 month old marans, and yet she's been laying for months. My question is could I hatch jumbo quail under her? Just wondering.

I'm a transporter at a hospital (taking patients to and from tests, procedures and discharging them) and we lost one of our transporters this weekend. So, the other gal and I have to cover the holes on the weekends. I'm working Sundays and she's working Saturdays until they get a new person in...

I have 2 Wheaten Marans cocks I hatched from eggs from Gabbard Farms (who got her stock from Bev Davis) and am looking to either sell them or trade them for a pair of hens. Will post pics soon. They hatched Feb. 13. $30 each, or trade for hens. ETA: Local folks, please. No shipping of the...

Oh.. does anyone have a Rouen pair of ducks they're rehoming? My S&B-i-L "borrowed" mine until they replaced the ducks they lost and now they... well I guess they're not returning them! I'd want a male and female anyways.

cariboujaguar: Nope, I have Wheaten Marans, not Black Copper Marans. I'm just looking to get a female or two, as my hatch was disappointing and I was hoping to hatch more of my own. (I did get over 50% hatch rate though... just all males)

Does anyone had any Wheaten Marans pullets? Maybe even trade a pullet for 2 cockerels from the BD line? I hatched out 3 of them on Feb 13, all males. 4 months old next Friday. Since we are going to be finishing our secured pasture soon, I feel safe setting up plans. Besides, I need to downsize...

Our mixed breed dog chewed out of her kennel today. Thankfully I didn't let my birds free range... but one of my Blue Cochins, & Regina the Brahma (and I assume Violet the RIR chick that Regina was foster-mothering) somehow got out..... I found Regina. That was my first sight of my dog...

The only thing so far that I've read is "Salmonella and the possibility of others" Well anytime you hear about poultry or reptiles folks wave the "Salmonella Flag". I kiss my lizards on the lips (if you can call them that! ) and I've never had problems. If you keep things clean, I would think...

We're acquiring a pair of alpacas and a small llama soon. We thought they could share a pasture with the chickens, but a woman was talking to my MiL yesterday and said there's some disease or bug they can share and you shouldn't have them together. Does anyone know anything about this? Does...

Helaine: I've had a broody cochin.. I could probably get her broody again. ETA: oops. You don't want a surrogate, do you? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SOOOO.... been really busy. We were given 2 alpacas and a mini llama. EEEP! So far this weekend we've sold 3 dozen eggs and 3...

Port Orchardites and surrounding places.... where can I get really AWESOME deals on feed and grains in bulk (besides X-cel in Tacoma). Just curious what all is out there for me to mix n blend. Thanks!

Quote: You need 3. What if something happens to one or is a roo? Here's a brief lesson in chicken math: My flock was supposed to be just 2 birds. I got 3. Then found a bird on CL. Total: 4 One died last month. Total: 3 Got 2 more. Total: 5 Was going to get 1 more (or so DBF thought)...

Quote: I love baby bunnies!

Quote: That’s kinda how I got my flock in the first place… and the fish tank… and actually, a lot of things. LOL. Quote: BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
