I have Orpingtons, they're working very well for me! Chocolate, chocolate cuckoo, Lavender, Black..... I should have lavender cuckoo next summer They're good, seasonal, layers of large brown eggs. Huge, fluffy birds that are like puppies following you around the yard looking for treats...

Thanks!! This was not actually the correct person, but they did give me a couple more names, one of which appears to have what i'm looking for. Hopefully i can work something out with him soon. I appreciate the help!

Howdy Texas friends! I'm hoping someone on this page might be able to help me out. I live near Indianapolis, IN. Someone I know got some Crele bantam cochin eggs through eBay from a farm/breeder in New Braunfels TX. I believe around this time last year. She wasn't able to keep them when...

Just wanted to post a couple pics of some of my BBS bantam cochins!

I'm casually looking for a Lavender orp cockerel if anyone has an extra. A raccoon got my rooster a couple months back and I need one for my ladies this spring! TIA

This is the peacock they came from

Well, as of yesterday I'm beginning a new adventure with the addition of Peafowl!! I had 2 broody chocolate orpingtons sitting on 7 peafowl eggs for the last 28 days. All 7 eggs were fertile but only 6 hatched. One shrink wrapped and died after beginning to zip the shell open. I think my...

I'm looking for advice from anyone here who have raised peafowl either currently or in the past. A family member has peafowl and has tried hatching in an incubator several times in the past with poor results. Chicks would form fully but die before pipping/hatch. So this year he decided to...

Anyone have an easy/good receipe for pickled eggs? I'm getting a lot of bantam eggs right now and would like to try some. TIA!

How does a person fond the rules and regs for shipping hatching eggs? I watch these sale/auction pages and sometimes have extra eggs that I'd like to not waste. I'm in Indiana, if it matters. Are there rules for each individual state for shipping hatching eggs? I have not yet been tested for...

This was my 1st "test hatch" for this year. My chocolate orpington rooster hasn't been "friendly" with all his hens yet, over half the eggs I put in the incubator were not fertile. It's all good though, the 2nd batch is looking a little better. I think he just needs warmer weather to get in...

Thank you!

Thanks!

What color is this bantam cochin hen?

I have a question for people that use a cabinet style incubator for hatching. I built a wooden cabinet incubator this winter. Lined the inside with foil insulation, fans to circulate air from the top to the bottom, etc. My question is this: do you incubate and then hatch in the same cabinet or...

Ill take them! Ill text you tomorrow, its a little late and i just saw this!

I forgot to mention in my last post, I'm also on the hunt for a new Choc or choc cuckoo orpington rooster. I have one with my hens now but I'm not as happy with his body type/stature, etc. If anyone has or knows of a pure bred choc/cuckoo orp rooster that needs a new home please let me know.

This year I will be hatching: Black, Lavender, Chocolate, Cuckoo, Lavender cuckoo and choc cuckoo orpingtons (wow that sounds like a lot!) Mille fluere/Calico and Buff bantam Cochins (should have some frizzled too!) White and partridge silkies and showgirl. I've been working VERY hard on...

Curious what everyone feeds their chickens (or ducks, turkeys, quail etc) as extra "treats" in the cold weather? I've been feeding a lot of extra cracked corn with extra table scraps. I also have been feeding them hotdogs and anything else I find on the cheap at the grocery store. I'll pickup...
