2 silkies about 10 weeks old.
I’ve been pretty positive for the last 2 weeks that I’ve actually got a girl and a boy. Would love some confirmation from my chicken friends.
The one that I think is a Roo is much more aggressive, and has been picking fights with the others!
1) hen showing comb...
This chick is about 6 weeks old. Only one in the group this color. Its comb is very bright compared to the others so I’m guessing a roo at this time, but what breed!? I’ve been searching different hatcherys and they just don’t seem to have anything like it.
Pink legs, not feathered. Looks like a...
Flock For Sale
So, I'm back, but not for long. Only a couple people know my life situation... I'm going to do a quick fill in so that maybe you can better understand why I'm selling my flock.
My husband left me back in July. It's been really difficult for me. A 9 year relationship, 5 years...
Thanks for all the replies! Just an added experience I had, so you all know...
It got to -14 here. The heated buckets froze solid. Which shocked me. I'm really trying to avoid bringing them into the house...and the ducks too! What a mess that would be!!!
I like the idea of switching out to a...
This is my first year with ducks and I'm looking for product suggestions.
I used a baby pool all summer and right now our temps are really dropping.
I'm ok bringing water out for them in the morning and if they need it a second time.
My concern is that this winter is going to be bad if not...
Hello everybody! I've been AWOL from the group, but today I need some help.
I've been having a rather difficult, time consuming life event. Which has caused me to not spend as much time with my birds and my chicken care has been to the bare minimum.
They get clean water, food and safety...
Just stopping in!
My 2 year old and I will be heading to the State Fair today! She will definitely be wearing her BYC'er shirt and I'm debating still if I'm going to wear mine. I'm a tank top girl, this time of year. So if you see us, I'm Annie and she's Pearl!
AWWWWWW!!!
This makes me miss them!
I am excited to see the results, though. You'll have to float me a few eggs in the future. They are great birds, but I'm happy to see them move on. Sorry, we couldn't chat longer.
It's more of a dark grey. Those are their eggs in the above picture, they've already lightened quite a bit. Mine layed a sort of slate grey egg, only a couple of times. :/
Update to my for sale list:
I want to go ahead and sell my Cayugas if anyone is interested.
I found these eggs of theirs, hidden in a bush...
I'm looking for a couple female Runners ducks.
I have a small portable grill I can bring, since @barb s can no longer come.
Can or is someone bringing charcoal? I have a coal starter, but I cannot afford to bring the charcoal.
Ohhhhhhh, you could be right!
Only the 1 EE I have, has been in the box, religiously. I'm sure I watched her, from across the yard, laying her first egg. Her eggs started a sort of pale green, darkened a hare and then the last three have been identical in color. The shells are still sitting in...
Layer ALERT!
So for the last week my new girls are just starting to lay.
I have an EE that's has been laying a pretty pastel jade color. Today, I find a blue egg...
That's not possible, right???
I have a Maran mix, could it be hers? She's a mystery bird from Brad S.
The others are a SLW and a...
Put me down for two dips to pair with veggies/bread/crackers that others will be bringing.
Has anyone ever had Kimchi on a hotdog??? It's like sauerkraut, but better. I'll bring some of that too.
Hey folks!!!!
Ok, I'm a total procrastinator... So, if Friday night rolls around and there's something we need let me know, because I can plan to pick it up on the way! I am bringing a veg. dish since my family doesn't eat meat...
I have a few birds available:
A quad of Partridge Cochin...
