Thank you for the information miss Lydia! There is a variety: Pekin, rouin, Swedish blue and buffs, along with about four other various breeds. I think I'll just stick to the raft for now and see if they even bother. The geese are about to invade the pond again and they likely may be too shy to...

Hey y'all, I raise chickens and I have a neighbor who raises ducks. His ducks maintain residency on a 1 acre semi-private pond. I say semi-private because its on a quiet street, but there is public access (though rarely ever used for fishing or other activities). He has about 20 ducks that he...

I am having the hardest time finding anyone who has chicks for sale out here. If you are from here and you have some let me know please. I have some barr rocks in an incubator now, but I would like some potential varieties. Thank you!

anyone missing their peacocks? My chickens got some early morning visitors this morning.

To anyone who is interested in the Jacksonville area, I have 3 Barr Plymouth Rock Roosters who need new homes. I ended up getting four roosters from my straight run and that is just WAY too many. They are about 10 weeks old now and I am selling them for about 10$ a piece. Here are two of them...

I absolutely love the idea of the rubber matting. Do I really Need to put hay or any other bedding down? It's such a mess! My chickens soil their water with hay within hours even with the water elevated. I have a large run and my chickens spend all day outside, they only go in their coop to eat...

Just from what I saw, he seems to have just about everything. Hope it works out for ya.

Themoores: I found your silkies today! I was getting a few more females from a nice man in Pink Hills and he has 5 silkies left. They seem to be juveniles. He has some whites and blues if I recall correctly. At any rate, I thought you would like to know so you can hurry and scoop them up if...

I guess a head shot would be more helpful in this. I am just so darned confused trying to figure it out. Two have huge spots I guess, but they don't seem to go to the neck. One of these has tail feathers and very black legs. Female! The other has speckled black legs and is just started tail...

Hello there, I am brand new to raising chickens and I just got some Plymouth's. I have been reading up on distinguishing the sexes, but I have to admit that I am at a complete loss. I hate to be a bother, but I really want to know what I have (or at least get some educated guesses). Can anyone...

According to the paper they gave me, it's at 8am to 1 pm. Their chicks arrive on march 31st at the feed store. You should call them to see if they will special order.

Thank you for the advice. I will look into that. I wasn't looking for silkies, but onslow feed and grain has a chicken swap on the 12th.

I know this thread is really old, but can anyone tell me what I potentially have here?

I'm off of haws run and we have a boat load of coyotes here too. They have been getting bold and have come up to the fence to investigate my dog.

That wouldn't be too bad. I only have one large coop, so I can't really have a bunch of boys ruling the roost. If I had three hens, I would be a happy camper. Their wing feathers are coming in, three seem to have nearly jet black with little to no barring. Interestingly enough, the same three...

I just started raising chickens and got my first Barr plymouth's this week. The suspense is killing me, I have no idea what sex they are and I've heard a lot about coloring and head spots, but I just can't tell yet. I am very excited though! I do hope that I have at least two hens though. Can...

I have been told so many different ways to sex these barr rocks, but I am just not getting it at all. I can't really see a color difference in any of them. Their wing feathers are coming in, two look solid black thus far while the others are striped. Three seem to have dark feet, three have...

Thank you! I am so thrilled. After reading up a little more, I decided to go with Barr Rock. I have six bitties in a bathtub just living it up. I have no idea how many cockerels or pullets I have, so I guess time will tell. I have been reading up on them and better eyes than mine could probably...
