The babies have somewhat sex-determined head patterns it seems. I've had great success in giving people the sexes they want in chicks. If the pattern at the back of the head is circular, like a bull's eye, they are usually male. If they are very squiggly and irregular, female. The spotty/peppery...
Original male I had was a dominant white easter egger named Sunshine whom I had for years (2000-2006). He carried BBR as far as I can tell from the other offspring I got. He had one offspring with gorgeous honey coloration on the shoulders, back and lower wing...looked like a yellow golden...
I used an outcross with SQ black Ameraucana in 2005 but fortunately this one is quite easy to deal with for comb (even though it looks bad here!). I got a lot of nicely combed chicks from the hatch this year but they are in MD and I am in NY at the moment.
Theres a lot of things wrong with...
2 Free blackshoulder peafowl eggs. They are probably fertile, as all the eggs I have gotten prior to this are. I am going on vacation, however, for 2 weeks soon and will not be here to hand turn them. They don't do well in a vertical turner so I can't really put them in my large incubator...
Male 08' hatch blackshoulder peacock $50.00
6 4 week old mandarin ducks, starting to feather out $15.00 each
1 pair adult mandarins (male in eclipse) $50.00
1 extra adult male $25.00
Need to move the male peacock in particular!
$25.00 for all 3 pullets, $10.00 each if bought separately. I kept back these three when I sold out of most of the rest of my polish but since I'm taking up falconry, I need to find a new home for the last 3 fancy girls!!
PM me please, I would prefer pickup since it's hot right now!
I have 2 male mandarins available, possibly a female later once the laying season has ended.
Both males are starting to drop some of their feathers and will soon be going into eclipse plumage.
$20 each plus shipping+box ( $40), $60 total to ship one male, will ship as soon as I get a money...
So chickens will likely have a local home by the end of today!! Yay!!!!!
Yep, I still have scovies waddling around the duck yard too. A hen hatched out 3 young birds...I think all are males in white, black and white pied and chocolate and white. There may be a blue female but I'll have to...
About 10 total, mostly bantams. I have a lot of white crested blue, splash and white. All are young, mostly unsexed.
I have a few in odd colors such as khaki and cuckoo.
A donation towards feed costs would be nice but not required, as I just want them to new homes.
Would like to have them...
Yes, I breed show quality LF black Ameraucanas and will still have them around for egg laying mostly but will probably hatch out some chicks. I've had my ameraucanas for about 5 years now.
I do have pictures but the cable to my external hard drive isn't being picked up by my 5+ year old laptop at the moment. I hope to have it fixed soon. You're welcome to come and see the birds in person as well. Here's some pictures of what I do already have uploaded:
Silver Laced Pair (Male from...
Sorry, no more tolbunts! I sold all of mine to a breeder in MD.
I am located in Churchton, MD 20733. It's about 30 minutes south of annapolis. Would love to get some of the hens local homes rather than having to ship out!
Hoping to get $50.00 a pair for them, may negociate. I am trying to reorganize some aviaries for next year. All young males are now in color. I have 2 pairs and 2 extra males in total. Would prefer pickup in MD but can ship. Hope to have them gone by Thanksgiving in order to pursue a very...
I am interested in a silkie pullet or two for a local family who just want 2 to add to their assorted polish/cochin/Ameraucana bantam flock. The son really wants at least one, any color.
The sexing has to be definite though as they live in a subdivision.
Thanks!
Hello! Anne Arundel County here! I mostly do breeding but we have quite a few breeds and species!
Here's what I have hatching now:
Black shouldered peafowl
Lady Amherst Pheasants
Red Golden Pheasants
Mandarin Ducks
Muscovy Ducks
Show quality Black Ameraucanas
Blue Slate Turkeys
White Crested...
I'm getting a few eggs a day from my peafowl but only want to set about 20 or so...I have had 100% fertility on the first 8 set.
Also have Red Golden and Lady Amherst eggs, though I'm not sure how much longer they will lay.
I would actually really like some chukar eggs or some other...
