    8 week old Chocolate Orpington Chicks - PICS and questions...

    Her roo, I've heard, feathered out beautifully. Since this occurrence last year I've not experienced a similar problem with the Chocolate chicks. If anyone has had it they waited for the chicks to actually feather out; so no contact was needed. The Chocs were new here and actually those...

    Hi everyone Not on here much anymore, and there are so many new people since my active days on BYC . Red, what is/are the bloodline(s) on the Icelandics?? Just curious, as it seems I'm probably going to keep them now since I've been moving chickens around and selling off extras of breeds...

    BTW skyknight... you'll have to cull the poor little guy. Don't want problems caused further down the road with bad genetics. I'll put your refund in the mail tomorrow.

    They're rare and usually run about $25 to $50 each, depending where you get them from and if they're SQ. LF or split.

    8 week old Chocolate Orpington Chicks - PICS and questions...

    Hi all , Hello skyknight!! I'm not sure what has caused that problem. They all looked good while here. although this flock is young and new breeders. They come from Choc Orps in Ohio and down south, which were brought in as eggs. So, not the same bloodlines!! Here are the pics of Daddy...

    Utah!

    Thanks Lisa for the info, and the link!! My hatchings normally do better at a high humidity and a lower temp, so that works well with my regular conditions. Yea, they're really popular out this way, I guess. I've had several people ask about them after I announced the Grand Opening. Since I...

    Idaho?

    Cramped quarters can cause all sorts of problems... close quarters, that's okay, but cramped quarters, like any others creature, you will start having problems. Chickens are not happy when cramped, thus unhappy chickens lay less eggs. While 'growing' my hatchery, there were times my chicks...

    Questions about incubating Guinea Fowl Eggs!

    I suggest you DO NOT help them out, unless you want to run the risk of it and the rest dying!!! The vital blood supply in the cord hooked to the shell will rupture and they will bleed to death immediately. If you try to break the shell away prematurely, they will either bleed, or the membrane...

    Hi Michelle. I don't remember if that was the brand I bought for DH's horse this past spring. I purchased a whole bunch and emptied the bags into my storage drum. If you don't find someone closer, I'm interested. Thanks
