I have had my sebrights for 4 days now and still no eggs from the hens? any one have any thoughts about whats up? I would say they are about 4-6 months
So i got my 5 sebrights 2 days ago...trio of silver and pair of golden. I am keeping them with our rabbits in our rabbity, which is enclosed by chainlink fence...(rabbitry is a u-shaped set-up of lean-tos 8' high). I let them freerange and they seem to be fine with that. they havent tried to fly...
YAY!!!! I got my sebrights today and they are so HEALTHY...not sick this time LOL. I need to know when should i start expecting eggs to put in the incubator? I know the roo is a little older than the hens, which are about 6 months old.
Ok, i am getting some hens and 2 roos and wednesday and was wondering how long is long enough to keep them together for breeding? I am going to loan out my roos to someone else and thats why Im asking this ?. I only plan on uncubating 10-15eggs for my first go round.
Down here its pretty bad too. Im self employed and havent turned a profit in 4 months, had to lay-off some of my guys which really really hurt MY feelings...which no one round here understands... i think because down here "oh they are just hispanics" but you know... they were like family. Id...
So pretty much anything you can tell me/advice bout raising bantams (primarily sebrights) would be a great help... diet, (think i got the housing under control), breeding, laying, incubation periods...etc. Dont over exert yourself, just one or two things from a few peps will help! THANKS GUYS!
If i only get a silver roo or a golden roo....could i use only one color to breed with the other color? IE: gold roo bred to a silver hen...would that produce both colors or some funky colors?
New Prospect, SC here! (close to landrum and campobello (or if your native to this area...campobeller) Trying to start raising sebrights! let me know if you guys have a contact close to me for them!
Hi guys! thought i should introduce myself before i post any more. I am JD Bedard & my girlfriend is Kaitlin Johnson. We have about 90 rabbits that we raise and show. Chickens will be a small adventure due to lack of space & yard. I want to stay with a small breed due to the limited space. I...
Well today we culled them but i think they were just miserably sick so i felt like it was the right thing to do. Thanx for the welcome too! Now im going to clean clean clean and start over with good stock, not bought from an auction!!
Thanks for that link Ozark! I take pride that our rabbitry & chicken coops are clean! Keeping a clean place for rabbits is a must also. We clean our rabbitry every 3-4 days and will do the same with our chicken area. one ? though...is it ok for them to be around 3-4" long/wide pine...
Hi Wonder Woolies!!
Yup i think im going to use Vanodine! i have bought the tycin 50 and will use that for a few days, if they dont get unsnotty then i guess i will have to cull!! I was debating on bringing them back through the auction but since its so contagous then its not worth the $10 i...
