whoops, yes - we're in Maine.

We have a 4 month old rooster who needs a new home. I bought eggs from a breeder, incubated them, and will keep his brother for my own breeding flock. Reuben is gorgeous, and probably the better of the two confirmation wise. My 4yo is frightened of him (bad experiences with previous roosters...

Hi - We have a beautiful Dominique rooster that is about 4 months old. I got eggs from a breeder and hatched him and his siblings, so he wasn't hatchery stock. I have his brother, who I am keeping for breeding. I have a small flock, and can't keep two roosters. If you have a small free-range...

Thank you, that is kind of reassuring - I wondered if they'd established their family, and would just ignore the others long term. We kept a chick out of a friend's red renger order, and our dominique chicks - two weeks older took her in and treat her like a coddled baby. Interesting how they...

OK, I have read the threads on this issue - but here's a slight twist on the question: After buying 14 eggs from a breeder and incubating them (only 4 hatched!) we brought the new chicks home to a brooder coop with a heat lamp, cozy nest, etc. They are about 2 1/2 months old now, and go out...

I am looking for a small flock of hens for my rooster, Kevin. I really would love to find a new home for him, because he is interesting, smart, great with the hens, and of course, beautiful. He is flying at my 3yo, and that's just not stustainable. I would be ok ending his life if he was one of...

bump!

well, sweet Kevin has been feeling his oats lately and ran at my three year old. She's afraid to go outside, so I think it's time for him to move to a new home. He's beautiful, and I love him. he is a wonderful watch-rooster and takes his job very seriously. I would love for him to go to a free...

does anyone have Dominique chicks for sale in Midcoast Maine? Thanks!

OK, Nikki - I just read up on AI - which I could not get my mind around, and am still a little grossed out by - but it does seem like the easiest solution to reduce disease exposure/social upheaval in each flock. So the only reference I found about AI frequency is to do it every three days -...

Thanks, Nikki - That all makes a lot of sense. I am not super excited about the AI route, but I hear you about disease intro and social upheaval/stress for everyone. My friend, unfortunately does not breed Doms - just accidentally got one with a chick order. I am not interested in getting...

Hello, I purchased a lovely Dominique hen last summer, and adore her. I have a very small flock, and up until recently* had only hens. I now have a very mild mannered rooster but my Dominique spurns his advances vehemently. This is absolutely fine with me, because he is a white-crested black...

I am sorry if this is a redundant post/question - but my Dominique sits and sits, but can only get her egg out after she has gotten off of the nesting box and begins to move around. Her eggs come most of the way down the vent, but need a little help from gravity to complete the job. She walks...

I got a call yesterday from a store up the road from my house - "There's a rooster looking thing up here - is it yours?" I had no idea why she would not be able to identify a hen (I have buffs and a Dominique), why it would be called a 'rooster-looking-thing' - but I went up to make sure it was...

Yesterday I relocated the majority of our flock to a new home. Two hens stayed behind, they are destined for a different location. One of our hens is very very upset, and she keeps dipping her head low whenever I approach (she actually is doing this often, even when I am not coming near - it...

Please post all ads in the appropriate BST section. Thanks ~Staff

Thank you, mental gymnastics are clouding my judgement. I'll try to wait it out.

We have been transfixed by our beautiful new indian runner ducklings this weekend. All hatched early, and all came out very well (well, one of the 10 piped at the wrong end, and I helped peel the shell back... ) So there was one left in the incubator. The others hatched on day 26/27. This last...

Thank you so much! So crazy how stressful this last stretch is!

OK, I did look up 'staggered hatch' - but did not find anything that pertains to this question. Perhaps I missed something... I did not stagger this hatch - all eggs went in at the same time, and at day 7 candling time, they all looked to be around the same level of development. they were all...
