Yes! This time I'll definitely be having a good look over them! She did say the ones I'll be getting just started laying so she knows there females. She asked me to send her pictures of all the boys and the saddle feathers. I was trying to explain to her how to sex them by there feathers but...

I just got off the phone with the lady that I purchased the birds from and she said I can bring back 3 of the cockerels in exchange for pullets. That means a 4 hour round trip ones again but I think it might be worth it. Bre

So it appears after taking another look one of the 4 pullets appears to be a cockerel. I might be down to only 3 pullets out of 8 but this little guy has straight as an arrow toes!! So my question now is should I use him for breeding even though he's small or should I do a test breeding with...

I just seen your post now. Trigger is doing great! I haven't hatched any of her eggs tho for fear I'd end up with a bunch of cross billed ducklings. Lol but it's good to know it might not be hereditary! Here she is last spring. And here she is this winter. (Injoying some swim time on a...

id love to get a rooster from her if she'd consider it but before I even think about bringing more birds on this property my main concern is making sure I don't have Mareks in these birds... I hope I'm just overreacting! I've got 18 partridge chantecler in the incubator as well so I'm pulling...

Thank you for the links. I'm guessing there's no point in separating him as if it is Mareks the others already have it.. Not sure where to start finding someone that would test him.. I was thinking of calling a college close by.

Thank you for the link! They do look like nice birds! Bre

I recently purchased 8 young chantecler chickens that are 8 weeks and 12 weeks old. One of the 4 cockerels is definitely half blind. It's one pupil is slightly grey and looks as if it's kind of hollow? Really don't know how to explain it.. but what I'm wondering is how young would signs of...

Yes I know of her birds. There absolutely stunning! But if I remember correctly she doesn't sell any of her birds? Closed flock..

Thank you Karen for the quick response! I'm thinking about finding a vet that can test that one roo for Mareks. If not I'll definitely be culling him! I'm in central Alberta Canada (Caroline) if anyone has a rooster or two there wanting to sell Id consider that option. If not I'd definitely...

Hello. New to this thread. Just finished reading it from the start, only took me a week and a half. Lol I recently purchased 8 white chantecler after wanting them for the past 3 years! 4 roos and 4 pullets. When I went to pick them up I was only expecting to purchase two trios that the lady had...

Sorry what I was trying to say is all I've been getting is pictures of this fox and he's mate. I'm in Alberta Canada and we definitely have timber wolves in this area. One was spotted dragging off one of my geese unfortunately..

Ignore the date and time. Haven't figured out how to change it.. trying to get a pic of the pack of wolves that raided my coop but all I've got so far is this guy and he's mate..

Thank you Tony for the fast response! That's exactly the advice I needed! I'll put some plastic up first thing tomorrow. Do you think a heated dog dish would benefit them or should I just stick with replacing there frozen water with fresh water ones a day?

Hello fellow BYC members!! I'd like some advice on keeping ringneck pheasants throw the winter. I know pheasants are cold hearty but how cold is too cold! Out herein Alberta Canada it's not unusual for it to get as cold as -40 Celsius. This will be my first winter with pheasants as I just got...

and this is Trigger. sorry about the pics... don't know why they went sideways and upside down...

Has anyone had a cross beak duckling before? He was born October 20 and had no signs of a cross beak but just in the last week it's been growing more and more crossed. I've never seen this in the 5 years I've had my ducks. I've been googling and searching on here for any similar story's but...

I'm also worried about my birds.. I'm in langley and my place is now in the restricted zone... Hopefully they can get this under control.. Bre

What I had on hand was frozen corn and peas. All I did was put about a hand full in a cup fill it with hot water then put it in the microwave till there soft. Drain the hot water and rinse them in cold water and there ready to feed.

I'm also in langley bc canada (south langley)
