I sent you a PM. I'm near bowling green, ky which isn't too far from Nashville and I'm also going to be coming to Nashville on Mar 5 if we can't get together sooner. I'd love to give them a great home if you haven't already found one. Let me know

We've got 7 Japanese bantams of different colors, I think they are super gorgeous and look mighty fancy.

i treat my ducks the same as the chickens, the babies get fed 14% hog mash until they are several months old, then gradually move them into cracked corn and scratch grains. The going price around here for all three of those is under $8 per item at the feed mill. The older adults get some layer...

An OEG is an Old English Game. Phoenix hens especially look like OEG and roosters look like bbred OEG except you don't dub their combs off. It does look like a phoenix roo with the long hackle feathers but the best way to tell for sure is the tail. Phoenix have longer tails than your average...

Anybody on here have any problems with baby guinea keets beating up your baby chicks? I have some guinea keets, about 3 wks old and some chicks, same age, all hatched together. I put them outside in their outdoor pen a few days ago and also put some younger chicks with them and this morning...

I want to try some peafowl eggs soooo bad but can't make myself pay the outrageous prices with no guarantee that they'll hatch. Was debating it then got a box of 2 dozen eggs in the mail and only had 2 hatch! Worse rate yet so now I'm even more scared to get any peafowl. Good luck to you...

We've got a bunch of dogs around here, some run loose and some are tied but we don't see many coons, possoms, etc. They pretty much steer clear of the place because we've got a bunch of hunting dogs. However, evidently we've got a brave soul around because I've got a pen, divided into 3 parts...

I had some phoenix hatching and we had been gone all day this past Sunday. When we got home, I pulled the hatching tray out in our cabinet bator to check on the few that still hadn't hatched and was suprized to find a few babies sittin ON TOP of the hatching tray. I was shocked to see any...

I'd get a few eggs and see how they go. If the chicks are deformed, then you know not to let it hatch any more.

I just received my first shipments of shipped eggs in the past month. I ended up getting from 4 different people, all BYCers. One set is due to hatch Wed. and seem to have candled well so we'll see what happens on ship day. However, another box I received seem to either been scrambled in the...

I just set my first set of turkey eggs as well. I've got 8 that are either pure royal palm, blue palm or could throw a black. I'm very nervous!

We have a pond on our property, just up the hill from our chickens for our ducks. We keep them penned until they are about 2 months old to ensure they are too big for turtles and large fish to make a snack out of. Then when they're old enough we take them up, toss them in and that's that. Our...

I have suddenly been overrun with baby chicks. We've been using a styrafoam bator and have kept up with about a 50% hatch rate, not great but has been worse. Some relatives had a cabinet bator they werent' using and said we could use it until they decided they wanted to and also gave us a...

Well I just received an order from Cackle, first time ordering from a hatchery. Wasn't completely satisfied from the start because one of the breeds I wanted they said they wouldn't have any for about 3 years. ARE YOU SERIOUS? So I got my chicks last friday, order was 5 chicks short. They were...

I agree with jvls, if you want geese, get geese. Everybody on this site is gonna give you their own opinion. You've now got plenty of info on the realities of owning a goose, take what you want to take from it and have a great time with your new geese. Personally, there is a white emden goose...

ok, I'm not 100% sure but I think it should be fine. I just recently got japanese bantams, 1 black tail buff roo, 1 white black tail roo, 1 gray roo, 1 white hen, 4 mottled hens and 2 mottled babies. There were no mottled roos with this group and I still ended up with mottled babies so you're...

I have 6 guinea eggs currently in bator. Getting a dozen more tomorrow. I've been doing my research but would like some tips from someone who actually successfully hatched some guinea eggs on temp, humidity, etc.

I've heard ppl on here say that they have occasionally pipped incubator eggs themselves and have had a little success in getting them to hatch. How do you know where to pip, the air sac obviously but I had 3 overdues in my bator that I popped the top off of and the sack inside was really stuck...

If you're wanting good layers that have a great personality, Australorps are definately an excellent choice, also Orpingtons are good and I've heard good things about Barred Rocks but I personally don't have any experience with those.

I totally understand where you're coming from! When I first got my first chickens, my father in laws lab killed my buff roo. Then, my rottweiler killed our only grown duck. TODAY my father in laws lab ate my only 3 geese eggs from the nest. We finally got the chihuahuas and min pins and jack...
