Predators are horrible here too :( Causes me to have to build my coops and runs bulletproof with bottoms and tops on the runs. I have a Sis in Law in Hurricane that has lost a lot of her flock to predators too. I'm down about 45 minutes south of Huntington :)
Sounds like and AustraWhite. I have one here from my australorp roo and white leghorns when I had them. She lays a light cream colored egg (not my photo)

I have a four tray Leahy incubator I'm trying to sell. Someone used expanding foam sealant on it :/ and it has a missing latch on the door and a little soft spot on the board on the bottom. Was going to restore it but just need to get it out of here and get the space back. I'm in Southern WV...

Anyone in Southern WV have a white Silkie rooster for sale? I have one that just isn't doing his job in the fertilizing egg dept and need a new guy to put with my girls. I'm looking for one that is already breeding age this year if possible and can travel a small amt. I'm in Southern Wayne...
Plan on using deep litter method to help keep their feet warm and using a heat light on a timer for the coldest nights, everyone is going in one coop for the "warmth in numbers" and Make sure you have WOOD roosts and not metal ;)
Yah I knew I had a bunch of roosters :( they are all getting ready to go in a bachelor pad with some high protein feed getting ready for the freezer :/. I don't believe I'll order from Meyer again I got almost all roosters from the adopt me bargain and they refused to acknowledge they were...
It's got a straight comb. I can't find ANYTHING On meyer's site that looks like it :/ They were hatched May 22nd it def doesn't look built like a meat bird if that's what it is, but I'm almost certain it's a hen
I sped up a video of one of mine hatching today, not the greatest quality but super cute ;) This is one of my shipped eggs, a little blue cochin chick ;)
Morning of hatch day here, eggs weren't set until 9pm on a Friday but so far I've got 5 of 13 babies out and two more pipped. 6 of the 13 are shipped eggs, so far 3 of those have hatched which is GREAT! Hoping the other 3 do too ;) they're my blue cochins
SO Sorry you have a lonely chick!! When did it hatch? I'll be heading to Hurricane Sunday and could bring you a little mixed chick that hatched on the 2nd, it's not a silkie it is either a white leghorn/australorp cross or golden comet/australorp cross...can't figure out which is which...At...
Here's an updated pic of the babies I hatched the 1st and 2nd <3 some of them are moving to new homes soon because I ended up with way too many so it's bittersweet.
The ones I have in the incubator now are doing great! I put 16 eggs in and 2 weren't fertile, one is a double yolk that so far...
I agree with this, I was home alone the first time I had to cull a chick and I cried like a baby :'( Sometimes its a necessary evil when we "farm" we have to be ready for the death too :( I can't say it gets much easier as I've had to do it more
IDK It's really lean and tall a lot like my leghorns are but has the splashes of color on it. I can't find anything on their website that looks anything like it :/
I just realized she/he has Green eyes. The white one front and center. Came from Leann's Adopt Me Bargain from Meyer. My little easter egger roo has so much personality I might have trouble getting rid of him LOL Look at him back there....
Shes the one standing tall and proud in the...
