    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    Hey all, Anyone on here who wouldn't mind going from the Oly Pen to Renton or Carnation and back on behalf of DeltaBluezTess ? I am trying to get her a pair of Spitz, but well, it's giving me fits! Ha! Also, transport back for a pair of Rhodebars... I could pay in chicks, or eggs... send me a...

    The BANTAM ORPINGTON Thread

    Oh, yes, it's more than just showing them, but if everybody hides their birds, why would it look like people wanted them accepted. I've been following one of the Spitzhauben facebook threads with interest, as only the silver is a registered color, but they come in five or six, I think, and they...

    The BANTAM ORPINGTON Thread

    Sorry it took so long. First 2 hatches have no straight Ch chicks, they're my experiment. Now, how do you link to an album? Oh well. If you go to the album in my profile called Choc Orps, there's more info about each pic and who's who. Will post more when I can get my adults to hold still.The...

  7. Hatch 2, one choc, 2 black.. one that interesting penguin. I'm starting to suspect sex linkage for her look.

  8. Upper left. (front right is my constantly escaping hatchery red hen) She's an odd looking thing isn't she? But she's purebred from GFF lines. Horrible type for an Orp, but she lays like crazy, and where the bantam orps are sweet, SHE's like molasses, honey and what I imagine nectar must be like all in one little package. Worth experimenting with, IMO.

  9. This was hatch one, with my black throwback girl and the Black Split male. The one in front is likely to be just like her with that Penguin look, the center one is brown, and the back one might be black.

  10. Chocolates... one hen passed away over the winter. The yo-yo temps were too much for a couple of my birds. Need to take an updated photo

    Growing fodder for chickens

    I have been using over the counter peroxide for the chooks, and food grade for our table sprouts. I cannot find an MSDS or anything that says why one is food grade and the other is not, other than packaging. Am going on the idea that it's being rinsed 4 to 6 times afterward, and that's that. So...

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    Just want to say, I love this thread... people are always willing to help newbies to FF, and at the same time, it doesn't die out 'between times' 'cause everyone is so happy to chat up just about any (literal) bunny trail! You guys rock!

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    I know a couple about 15miles N of us that have 10acres and 2 African donkeys of some kind. They apparently sleep only 2 or 3 hours a day in shifts, so they're always 'on' and very good defenders. Of course, I don't think they've ever had a bear problem. They will fight off cougars and such, but...

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    PHS, check in on your farm friend. See if the chick is still alive/age. It's difficult for chickens to be alone. They will literally die from loneliness. Or the inability to share body heat, or ending up having no 'flock manners' when finally introduced and getting their keister kicked from here...

    GRAPHIC PICS of my day learning to caponize

    Heya... good idea! I'd love to build something from scratch but for now I'm working with what circumstances landed me at the mo'... The 2nd refridgerator died, so I am making the 'freezer' into a sick bay... got a young chkn in it at the moment who seems very happy as long as it over 30deg, and...

    Developing the grass in your yard for increasing free ranging nutrition

    Our property in Hillsboro (which I miss) had 2 comfrey plants. They were in a rotten location, and in my ignorance, I dug them up. There are now over 100. Probably still there, the new owners don't do much with the place. All it takes is a pinky nail size piece and it WILL grow like crazy. Due...

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    Thank you BC! These are our experimentals. Like most peeps on BYC start with "whatever is at the feedstore"! In this case, it was a Craigslist post we couldn't pass up. 30$ for 18mos old pair, with cages, water bottles, food, etc. The male is a sort of flame colored Rex/Flemish cross and the...
