I have a pure coronation sussex rooster that I hatched in March of this year that I am looking to rehome. He is pet quality. He is friendly and I do pick him up and hold him, however he doesnt care for getting caught. But once in your lap he's as friendly as can be. I am letting him go because I...

I have a hen that is not using her left leg at all. She is a 6 month old coronation sussex. I have checked out her leg, there is no obvious break, sore or injury to her foot or leg. There is no heat emitting from the leg so there doesnt seem to be an infection. She kind of bumbles around but is...

I have two dozen hatching eggs for sale. The eggs are from my coronations sussex hens, one pure coronation rooster and one light sussex hen and one light sussex rooster. These are second generation project birds. The roos were hatched from eggs that came from someone here on BYC that has...

I have a neighbor several houses away that purchased two ducks for his grandchildren at easter. The poor little things wander the neighborhood. They look dirty and I worry about them getting hit by a vehicle or a stray dog killing them. I've started slowly speaking with the neighbor (He is not a...

I wasn't sure if I should post this in the feeding and watering section or diseases and cures so I apologize if this is in the wrong section. I recently acquired three cuckoo maran hens and a cuckoo maran rooster. They were given to me from a friend who had purchased a home in May and the...

I have an issue that seems to be progressing. I have 1 roo that was hatched on 12/12/2011 with 5 girls about the same age, in the same pen over the last couple of weeks it seems that they have started to sneeze every so often. I thought maybe the coop was too dusty so I did a total clean out of...

I need advice, I have three (or had three) sussex (all three were hatched on 12/12/2010). One is a pure coronation (roo) and the other two are light sussex (both pullets). All were fine last night. I watched them foraging in their enclosed run, everything looked fine. I closed up the coop around...

I have a Light Sussex chick (roo) that was hatched on 3/4/2011. He is very friendly. I prefer not to ship but am willing to travel to meet (within reason).

I have a pure Coronation Sussex chick (cockeral) that comes from Greenfire stock. He was hatched on 03/03/2011. I prefer not to ship but can possibly meet (within reason).

Help!!!! Its been a while since I did a hatch and I have forgotten how long I need to let the eggs sit after the have been shipped to me (before I actually set them in the incubator after picking them at the post office). I seem to recall it only being a couple of hours but I can not locate the...

I took this off another forum that I visit often. I had to share. Why we shoot deer in the wild (A letter from someone who wants to remain anonymous, who farms, writes well and actually tried this) I had this idea that I could rope a deer, put it in a stall, feed it up on corn for a couple of...

http://columbusga.craigslist.org/zip/1798480703.html I dont know a thing about goats but when I saw this I kinda worried. Wouldnt this hinder her from protecting herself from predators and such?

Nothing real drastic, its just my DH and I have put a bid in on a house. It has 5.5 acres (I eventually be able to get a couple minature lamanchas and expand my flock). We could really use a couple of prayers and good vibes sent our way. This is the third time we've bid on property or a house...

I need everyones opinion on something. I'm having a sign and a decal made up for my little business. But before I order them I have a question. What do you take as the true definition of a farm? I have a small piece of property but I raise chickens for eggs (both hatching and eating) and chicks...

I was loving on my rooster and noticed that under his tail his skin is very red and irritated looking. Its only in the area under his tail. Other than that he looks good. His comb is nice and red and he has a good appetite but he has lost some feathers in the area and I was worried it might be...

I searched all over this site for advise before I posted but I'm lost on what to do. I set my eggs on Feb. 22. I had my incubator up and running for a week and it held the humidity and the temp almost perfectly the whole time, but a few days after I set my eggs things went wacky. I had a...

I was unable to find a free catagory so I'm posting it here. I hate to have to do it but I have to sell off my little flock. I have a new job and I am gone a lot (and I do mean a lot) and I dont get to spend time with them the way I should. (I actually lost one of them tonight to a feral cat...

Please..Oh please help me.. I started a new job (which is great) but there is no internet access. I added internet access on my phone but when I'm on BYC it cuts off half of the words on everyones posts! I shrank the font but that hasnt helped any..I cant get my fix at home after work because I...

I'm looking for a 6 to 12 eggs to hatch. I really want blue/ green eggs but I need bantam size chickens and full sized EE's wont fit into my flock. Please let me know if you have any that you are willing sell or trade. I have bantam barred rocks and bantam cochins.

I currently have 7 wonderful bantams. Some are barred rocks and some are cochins all of course are brown egg layers. I was wondering if anybody has ever heard or seen a bantam breed that lays green or blue eggs? I tried doing a search for the info but I'm obviously not searching correctly...
