Hi all, Moving in a couple months and need to really downsize and find homes for my roosters. Roos- $10ea All have been really nice, no flogging as of yet, follow me around and eat out of my hands. I have 3 Split Black (lavender-carries the lavender gene) Roosters ( roughly 6 months old)...

So irritated..I have enough chicks already. I got some shipped eggs for my broody (GLW) to be nice and then she won't take them! I moved her to another brooding house last night and this morning the eggs were cold and she was having nothing to do with them. Seems to that putting her in there...

So last week we noticed my gl Wyandotte was acting strange..well we soon discovered she was broody. She has been laying on 2 golf balls. It is probably closer to day5- 6 now...is it too late to get some shipped eggs and set them under her? If so will it seriously mess her up and at that time...

So I ordered from GQF and got some free Bob White Quail eggs (30)..however I did put in the note section that I didn't want them but they sent to me anyways. I just received them today and don't know a darn thing about Quails and don't have room to hatch them. What should I do? Hard boil them...

After the rainy days this week, here is what I found. My blk Australorps belly was all bare. She is about 7-8months. I think it could be feather picking but it looked pretty smooth yesterday so I couldn't figure it out. I did a search here and a lot came up as molting, mites, or broody hen. I...

Do I am getting a couple of cream colored matte eggs..I can't be sure if it is like 2 a day or 1 a day or if that really makes much of a difference since sometimes they don't lay every day. Who is laying it? Any ideas? (I have RIR-which i don't think are, Barred rock-maybe?, Buff Orps...

So I have 5week old Sp Sussex in my brooder in the shed. It has a heat source and is sheltered etc. Last week I thought I heard a few sneezes but when I sat for 5 mins and listened no one else sneezed. I figured food, dust etc. This week I heard it again. It could be food- I am always putting...

Just wondering for the future..can you gather a bunch of different hatching eggs from people at diff times( with in a week diff) then put them all in the incubator together? Or will there be diff hatching days etc? or a big no no? For ex: if I order eggs from Mr. J then buy some from Ms. R and...

Trying to find a breeder of True Ameracaunas ( not EE's yet)with very good blue egg color in Cali or can ship to Cali. Baby Chicks or Pullets ( may be able to pick up depending where you are) Anyone out there or know anyone? Thanks, S

Check this out. This must have been 1 of my EE's first eggers. It is hilarious! So tiny like a Robin laid it. We laughed really hard when we found it in the nesting box. Good color though. next to a med egg

Just curious on how many fertile eggs are you getting roughly a day or couple days. Please include how many roos per laying gals you have too. I have heard different opinions on how many roos to have per girls. Anywhere between 1 to 8 or 1 per 12 . Seems like mine is not doing his job very...

Hi, sorry if this is a silly question. So my gals (17) just started laying this month and I would potentially like then in the near future to lay on eggs that I buy for hatching. When is a good time and how do I do it? Do I let eggs accumulate in nesting box? ( we have golf balls in with...

So for all you Marans owners if you could only get 10 Marans which ones would you get? How many of each and please include Roosters so you can get your own offspring if wanted to. Here are the choices: Black Copper Wheaton Blue Splash ( didn't include white or black ? unless ?) TIA! Am...

Well today my 4 yr old little girl who absolutely adores and respects the chickens and roos was attacked by her favorite roo. He has always been really nice and she holds him all the time. Today he must have felt like his girls were being bothered, or he didn't like being held in the coop (...

So I was pretty certain alpha roo was my EE Mr. Prince Rue since he has been with his girls since day old and he was first to crow and crows while we around etc. But yesterday was the 1st day 1 of our 16 girls started laying an egg. Things started changing. I have 3 roos. 1 being EE, and 2...

We are so excited we just got our first egg today! My chickens are 5 months old and 1 out of 16 gals laid an egg. Should I go and change feed now to layers mix or finish bag of Medicated starter ( amprolium) ? We plan to have baby chicks too with some of these so I could always use the starter...

Hi all, My chickies are now roughly 5ish months. I have 3 roosters and only 1 crows. Anyhow it seems like in the last couple days there have been a ton of feathers around and I have seen my big Brahma roo either trying to get on top of a small EE gal and when she/they freak out he grabs them by...

STILL NEED HELP PLEASE:D Here is the info: These guys are Bantam 3-4 wks old, kept inside in a brooder w/ shavings. I treated for Cocci in the past due to bloody and suspicious poop. ( with Sulmet) Feeding- Medicated starter. Also just discovered that they are covered in mites and lice- ewww...

So I got this chickie from the feed store and it is much older than the others. The guy said older but I am gonna guess maybe 2-3weeks? It is a bantam mille fleur D'uccle. The sweetest bird, but I am pretty sure it has spraddle legs and one leg is either swollen or just larger than the...
