I picked up a dozen banty chicks at atwoods. Most were assorted colors of OEG, one cochin, 2 cornish (one dark, one red laced) one japeneze, this one I can not figure out. He/she (pretty sure its a she) is very pretty, I would love to keep it if I could, Would help alot if its a girl lol. Here...
Yep, thats my Mille Fluer roo. Uploading pics now
Of course they all rushed to the corner when they saw the camera, Instead of the cute little chick things they were doing earlier. Like racing and doing hurdles over the feeders lol
Ok, I will go take some pics now. I just know when I had my others, I could pretty much tell from the day I got them who was a rooster and who was a hen. I just didn't get the breeds right lol. Now I ordered ones I know the breed but not the sex lol
I have a few older OEG bantys I got as chicks from TSC. My SDW hen, has always had the grey colored wings
I just got an order of Barred, Wheaton, Silver Duckwing, Red Pyle, and Brown Red.
At what age will I be able to start telling the rooster from the hens based on feathering or comb? All of...
Thanks for all the replys. My humidity is staying right around 40%, and the temp around 101-102. My friends dad has a bunch of old computer so I am going to see if he can get me one to try next time around. Right now all is well. I am keeping a close eye on it, my humdity has been steady, the...
OK, I got a Hova-Bator 1602. And the automatic egg turner. I also bought a $3 humidty monitor, and an $8 Humidity/temp monitor both are now inside. I keep finding conflicting info on where to put the temp and humidity. One said 35-45% humidty was ok, another said to be 55%-65%. And temps vary...
I also am waiting to get enough eggs to start my first hatch, I bought the Hovabator 1602 thermal air. I plan on getting the egg turned that goes along with it when I have the money, is there any other add ons I should get? New thermometer? I am still not sure how I monitor the humidity, is...
Hey yall,
I got some mixed bantams from Atwoods back in Sept. They are starting to lay now (I have gotten 2 eggs so far) So now I have lots of questions!
1. How long do I wait until I start keeping the eggs for hatching, I am not sure which chicken is laying. But she has layed every other day...
I had 17 misc chickens at one point that I got from TSC, but decided to start over and focus on just one breed so sold all of them. I am wanting to get a breed for eggs, not laying machines, but enough for 1-2 people. I would prefer bantams since they are smaller, so they would need a smaller...
Got alot of these guys because the feed store told me it was common to lose a few. Well they all survived lol, and now I have just too many for what I am wanting.
I *Believe* these are what breeds they are, no guarentee. They are feed store chicks from Joplin, MO Tractor Supply. They are from...
Here are some of my 17 chicks (started with 17, and haven't lost one thank goodness), the march pics where taken on the 28th just a few days after I got them, and the other pics just today. They are so much fun to watch them mature, they change everyday. And they are so funny to watch, they...
I have 17 chicks, not sure on the age I think the older ones are 3-4 weeks old and the smaller 2-3 weeks old. The older seem to be getting pretty feathered, but have not grown much in size. They are still small to me (Just a bit bigger then my hand) But I have never had chicken before so I just...
Onyx is now for sale as I do not have as much time as I had hoped for her and she is standing around doing nothing. She is an easy keeper, and is fat right now since shes just standing around as you can see, very sweet and excellent trail horse. She follows
you around in the pasture and loves...
Hello,
I just got these guys today. All girls (suppost to be) and sweet as can be. I have 11 of them. And all marked as shown. Any clue as to what breeds they are?
