Hello Pink Chick and all that are on this list ,
I wanted to celebrate a New with you folks. Yesterday I brought home four new blue Birchen and Blue Marans . I have one silver rooster and what I was told were three hens. They are 6 months old laying . The one "hen" I would like to post pictures...
Everyone in chickens have been completely different From my expectations spent in both dogs and horses and raising English budgies . I made many friends , started several breed-specific clubs for both dogs horses and Budgies and united people in the cause of the breed's "best interest . The...
I have a splash hen that is black predominately . She is wheaten on the rest of her body . She has very nice short legs with a rather compact body and a neck like a swan. Dose her color rule her out as a possible breeding bird? I'm showing my novice colors here? your advice would be welcome.
I love that clacking noise and have used it to calm and comfort my hatchlings. She has not used it in a long while. I did purchase her as a mature bird at a year and a half from a breeder in the area. She is quite lovely ,wheaten and she produced about 6 young which carries her head but are...
The proper name for the Parakeet that is small usually Green or blue Parrots. You could find them anywhere before PETA entered the sceen.
PeTA particularly haters Pure bred birds and their first Target were birds. Ingrid Newkirk in the 80s vowed to get rid of Pure bred dog and Cats along with...
Thank you . When she comes out of the molt I would like to submit pictures of her for an evaluation. she has a lovely head and expression to me but I do not know what I am looking at. I like her head but am I seeing too much roundness and favor it because I used to raise Budgies?
I have similar coming from a wheaten hen and a blue wheaten rooster. Is this a red or is this a wheaten or some sort of variant color. I hate that I know so little.
Any thing I might add would be based on experience in other species not necessarily chickens. At one time I had parakeets ,the English variety and through breeding I ran across some interesting Feather deviations which were similar to this. It seems that you have run across a gene that is...
Hello Folks
I have an older hen two years plus . She has not laid this entire summer although she appears very healthy except for a molt. Is she getting too old to lay? or is it that she is in molt and has not come out of this yet? Is there any way to tell?
Welcome
My Mom lived in Texas and she died recently . She was in Alvarado where my brothers and sisters and dad live. She was the founder of Gereen dog food now named Blue Wolf. May God love them forever. I think you will enjoy Marans very much and the people here are very warm and nice.
Hello
I have some babies from Mr. Jim line but not directly from Him. His birds are beautiful and he is one of the nicest people in birds that I know. He is very willing to help a new comer and has helped me many times. I got my birds from shows birds on this forum and he is a pastor and a...
Thank you for writing. I need to see some pictures of developing colors from Chick hood to adult. I see people writing asking about babies only to be shuffled off into Easter Eggers because the color at that time dose not match what the standard calls for when at some later date color changes...
It is so interesting to hear from you folks about the eggs. I WAS VVERY disturbed that I was getting no eggs from my beautiful Marans when this week I got my first two from my coppers. Thank you for your encouragement which has helped me keep the faith in my birds. Also I had my first eggs...
Come on in folks . Have a cup of Coffee or Tea sit down , and lets talk about Japanese Bantams and showing them. Many of us have some rather nice Bantams and would like to show them but we have never shown chickens before . You who show how about sharing with us how to go about doing this. We...
