I am in need of a new rooster for my few girls. I had the unfortunate visit from a fisher and lost a lot of birds in a short time. I still have my girls.. and now that my area is secure, i would like to hatch a few more. if you have one you could part with... let me know. thanks!

I bought a bunch of straight run "all heavies" I think they are either black astralorps or jersey giants, but,,, I have no idea.. of course.. they could be both or something else entirely. they all have yellow bottoms to their feet, chick type 1, this is a different chick...

I have one Black english orpington roo to rehome. He is the only one left after I decided to reduce my flock and sold my blacks off. He is a big bird and I hate to send him off to freezer camp!

I have 1 ameracauna rooster, about 15 weeks old, but not crowing, yet, and a couple of month old mix roosters for free. the mixes appear to be black astralorp and BLRW (black chick), and jubilee orp and BLRW (grey chick, that is HUGE!), just have more boys that i want or need.

im thinking boy, but his top seems fuller than a lot I have seen. would a female cover more of the face at this age?

I have a pair of year old Cream Legbars for sale. Rooster is very nice, good barring, straight comb. hen is very sweet and timid, she has a smaller crest. Would be good to add new blood to your lines!

i have been saving eggs from my jubilee orps to set. I lost my splash, (she was eggbound,) so I will hopefully have a few of hers too. some of them are a little older than I would like. I am waiting for a shipment of eggs to be delivered so I dont have a staggered hatch. if I can set on...

Hi all... i am a new goat mama... and right now they are living in my shed. I was going to build them their own shelter, but they are loving the area under my chicken coop. they are sharing the chicken pen, and if that area is good for them, they might just stay in there with the chickens...

Hi all. We had a bunch of ducks take up residence on my sisters pond this spring, and she cant keep them through the winter. We want to advertise them but we dont know what kind they are. we tried to find where they came from too, since they were obvisously tame as babies, but we think maybe...

Hello guys! My broody silkie hatched a couple of chicks this weekend. they are black astralorp/blrw mix. We hatched one in may of the same mix and it was a black chick with white tips on its wings and it is definatly a pullet. The two (3.. one didnt make it ...) that she has now, one is...

Hi all. I just noticed last night that one of my roosters cant crow like he use to. He sounds kind of muffled. He doesnt act sick in any way.. but he does kind of whine now. Any ideas? Maybe its just normal. its been really really wet and rainy here, and its been getting into the low 50's at...

I am needing to reduce the number of roosters in my flock so this boy (Turtle) has to go. I can get better pictures if there is interest. He is a really nice bird. Just a year old. I have hatched chicks from them recently and it was a very difficult decision to sell him but I dont have the...

I am searching for some started pullets or laying hens in the southern WNY area. I would prefer no older hens, but will consider chicks. I have silkies, blrw, BA, and BO. I would like either marans or a colored egg layer, EE or similar. i would travel, up to an hour to pick up. I just want 2...

Hi, i need to find a home for my silkie roo.. I only have 10 hens and 3 roos and unfortunately he needs to go. He doesnt know he is little tho, he holds his own with my BLRW, but they aren't very aggressive anyway. My sister has the other, he is a black astralorp/blrw mix that I hatched for...

I am looking for a stoneware chicken waterer. I can find them on ebay, but honestly, i have never bought anything from there and i dont like the auction style! I have posted want ads in our local craigslist, pennswoods, and even the classifieds at work with no luck... so I am hoping my fellow...

should i clean them a bit before I set them? I got them last night and they are still next to the bator until i could come ask you guys! (or course.. i could have taken pictures..) anyway, there are 11. 2 are ok.. maybe i will leave them as is.. but the rest.. are so dirty, it covers more...

I set more eggs last night, and I was informed that I will be getting duck eggs in a week to put in the incubator as well. I have never hatched ducks before. I dont even know where to start, but what about having them together. does the humidity need to be higher? same temps? I suppose I...

into 2 sections. i have 15 shipped BLRW and 17 of my own in the bator right now. I want to be able to separate them during the hatch so I can band mine from the others. Im not really certain the best way to do that. I was thinking, since there is hardware cloth on the bottom.. that I could...

My eggs arrived this morning! I will be setting them tonight...so looking forward to a hatch of May 20th! My hatch last year was may 23rd, so some of mine could be parents before they are a year old!

I will hopefully be setting eggs next tuesday/wednesday, and I was just thinking, the last time I had my turner full, this time it will only be half. So, how would I go about putting the eggs in? All in the middle? spread out evenly? should I just try to avoid putting some right under the...
