I can look at a baby chick and pretty much guess what it is, so I was hoping some of you duck savvy folks would know what I have here? Got them at Tractor Supply.
What happened was, I sold this lady a goat from outstanding bloodlines. I wanted $150 for him with paperwork which really was a great price for his bloodlines I paid $800 for his mom...anyway, the lady didn't want to pay more than $100 so she offered me a breeding pair of cream legbars. But when...
Rooster mates with her, I have separated her and her pubic bones are still rather close together. She is a cull for sure, I will probably hang in there with her another month or so...then I have no idea what to do. Just frustrates me to no end that I've been paying to feed her sorry keister this...
Has anyone on here ever gotten ahold of some foleys birds? I have a nice roo, but his hackles are rather brassy...it's so hard to find that mahogany color!
Oh my gosh, she is STILL not laying!!! I'm so frustrated! :barnie so she is 14 months old now, almost everyone else is laying and she still hasn't laid not one single egg, EVER! I suspect she is very inbred because her and the rooster I ended up with from the breeder, both have crooked toes. I'm...
Does anyone know how big Isbars grow to be? I have a three month old rooster, and im thinking he has more of the body style of a leghorn than a meatier breed.....:idunno
I have a blue hen that is half blue Andalusian, half black copper Maran, that I plan on breeding with my blue Isbar roo. I'm curious what the babies will look like and egg color they will produce :)
I have never been able to do it any other way than put my boot on top of their head/neck and jerk their feet up really hard till the head detaches. That way I don't see their eyes, my hands never make contact with the head, just the feet, and it's over very quickly.
Aha! I discovered the mystery bird! It IS the blue Andalusian. The stinker has red ears, not white, which means she's mixed with maran! I'm so happy! Lol I paid a lot of money for Penedesenca hatching eggs so I could have dark brown eggs, but none of them hatched save one and she didn't live...
Hmm I have one out there that looks exactly like that one...the long pointy light brown...been getting them a couple days now. I'm starting to wonder if this dark brown egg isn't from my Andalusian? She came from a breeder who also had Marans. Maybe she is mixed. But she looks purebred for sure...
