I allowed the kids some free will at tsc three weeks ago and I’m not actually sure what breeds we got. This one especially worries me because it’s huge and I’m afraid a broiler got chosen by the guy by mistake rather than what we’d told him.
This girl turns 18 in a few weeks. She’s going to miss her prom. Her high school/early college graduation. And her 18th birthday. She’s crushed. It was supposed to be such a special year. Now she can’t even see her friends that day.
It’s “no big deal” in the grand scheme of things, but it sure...
It’s been a LONG time since I’ve hatched or even had chickens, but today we picked up six chicks and I just set this lovelies. Here’s hoping I remember how to do this! These are buff and lavender orpingtons. Excited!
Does anyone have any for sale? Chicks, partially grown or mature. Potentially willing to do eggs.
Looking for Western NC or possibly TN on the NC side.
Has anyone here done this and, if so, would you care to share your experiences or input? Does hatching them yourself or purchasing them already hatched work best? Approximately how long does it take to raise them from hatched to released and how much work/effort is involved, timewise and...
I got 6 zebra finches off of Craigslist and one off of a local yard sale site. They were in a small'ish cage so I bought a very large one. One of the "zebra finches" was actually a green singer who was gorgeous, but very territorial and would barely let any of the other birds roost or do much of...
I am looking for possibly a trio? of wyandottes in western n. carolina. Silver laced or blr is my first preference, but let me know what you might have, prices, etc. I forgot to say that I am looking for a grown or almost grown trio, no eggs, chicks or very young ones.
Thanks a bunch! :-)
2 splash cockerels, 1 splash pullet, 2 black pullets and a blue pullet. These are 9 months old. Directly from Bobbi Porto out of Florida. One or two have begun laying, but I'm not sure which one(s).
Selling as a flock, will not separate.
$120 for all, firm, pick up only. There are SIX, but...
Used for one hatch. Little Giant incubator w/ fan and turner. Also comes with the hygrometer that came with it when I bought it.
Asking $80 for the set. Located in Marion/Western NC. Shipping possible, but buyer will have to pay the shipping. I cannot figure out the cost without a zip code...
It's so weird. The crest is off, the "streamers" go off the sides and really don't look like streamers. The tail feathers look like a roo and it's got a small comb and wattles. My gut says roo. It never crows, but it might just not be a dominant roo. It's about 6 months old.

I received 18 eggs from Glenn See (blue) and 20 from Kathy Leininger (black). I cracked one when I was marking it with the initials so will be starting 37. They arrived in great shape so I am hoping that they do well. :-) Will update as it goes on. :-)
I am having the hardest time finding silkie eggs and not getting a run around and/or having someone flake out on me.
I am looking for blue, black, splash or buff and quality. I need to see pictures.
I am not looking for $50/dozen eggs or close to it.
Two red eyed white does and a siamese sable (I think, need to check for sure) buck. All have pedigrees. The buck has some reddish on his fur from rubbing against a wall too much. $20 each
Also have two babies from one of the does and buck. They are not pedigreed. Still small enough to handle...
Okay, I'll tell you what I think they are and you can give me an idea on what you think. Looking them over today and taking pics, I'm not real thrilled with how they've changed/turned out. I think I'm going to be downsizing even more and maybe bringing a few better quality ones in for breeders...
Hatched in January. Pure Porto line. Pretty boy, crowing, but he has silver or gray in his neck and I will not use him for breeding.
Located in NC, half way between Asheville & Hickory. Will ship for exact shipping and box price, but if you want that, please PM or post with questions BEFORE...
I have never heard of it before, but there's an auction on eggbid for them right now. I won't say what it looks like to me, but hoping someone can explain what it means. That's a new one for me!
I hope this is allowed.
Are you a member of a yahoo! group that you enjoy and get a lot out of? I am looking for one in particular that used to be around (hatchaholics), but can no longer find it. Would love to find something similar.
I am incubator-less right now so am looking to get a new one. I have explained it to hubby that I cannot sell eggs from my silkies (once they start laying) without being able to check that they eggs are fertile. And he bought it. (Okay, it's true, but obviously not my only reason for it.)
I do...
We started with 6 in one litter and are left with two. Had a new cage and they crawled out of the hutch when too young and four perished. :-(
We have these two cuties left, though. Mama is REW and daddy is grayish (I cannot remember the correct name for his color and do not have his pedigree...
