so I crossed my blue marans too x couple cream legbar hens. Hatched these f1 auto sexing eggs & kept some pullets, most looked more like legbars with copper streakage. Now I’ve got a few of them laying, crossed them back to pure blue & splash marans Roos for darker layers. I’ve hatched a few of...
Closer to AL the better! Price negotiable. Text fine 334-435-4881 Want at least 1 dozen but would prefer to buy 2-3 at one time. Would also consider chicks for a fair price. =)
So of course my feed store which I ordered duck starter at said truck came in with no duck starter.....I know they'd be ok on chick starter for a few days but I do have catfish pellets and I was thinking about feeding half and half to come close to a 21% ratio. Going to go by the other feed...
So I've been shipping some of my hatching eggs and I was curious.
I keep tweaking my shipping method.
Recently I've done it this way for a little while, 1/2 inch styrofoam "panels" that line the whole box.
I believe this in combination with meak's method(bubble wrapping eggs basically)...
Title says it all. Just wondering. I think I recall eggs will become more porous with age and seeing as how shipping is usually 1-3 days(or longer with delays). I know some can be pretty porous to begin with but in general.
So I have several chickens now in my barn(about a 30 by 30 ft area) but I have about 3 acres that can be a pain to mow even with a riding mower. Also I'm wanting to start some garden beds and would like some input. I do have dogs so I have noticed virtually no predators coming onto my land(seen...
I ordered some eggs off ebay from a (jesus cuanda) in TX. Anyone ever bought from them? Great price but at what age will I be able to tell if they are purebred Red Goldens? Where can a DNA profile be done(on a chick after hatching?) and how much is it? There is only about a 45 day from my order...
I bought a still air Little Giant incubator & wanted to install a fan. I recently dabbled in graphics card replacement for my desktop....twice even & just so happened to have saved at least one. I knew the fan still worked so today i spliced it to an old charger i had. I couldnt find any sticker...
Black Pair
Lemon Blue pair?
Is he a little younger why his crest isn't as full? Think he was called a Black Breasted Red?
Also what color is this last hen considered? Blue Splash?
What would be the longest an egg can be in the incubator before you wouldn't feed it to a dog?
I know I've read of people that will even cook really well and eat 5-6 day incubated eggs that aren't fertile with no issues.....And I also know that 18 day incubated duck eggs are considered a...

Thinking about buying some hatching eggs. They have lots of pictures posted, opinions on quality?
Supposed to be a trio. I've read cockerels are darker but one of these is dark like the supposed Roo. And the roo doesn't have very red combs yet either. 10-12 weeks approximate.
Probably some type of mix but I'm curious what you all think. I will try to get better, clearer pictures with my digital camera(so I can ask about sex too, they are 8 weeks now). Going by feathers coming in(wing feathers at a couple days old and tail feathers early) the yellowish & blackish are...
Assuming the black frizzle does not have 2 copies of Frizzle(my 7 week old chicks still have some growing to do and I've got to get pictures to ask opinions on if they are double frizz).
I'm going to assume that Buff coloration would be dominant to Black but when I used chicken calculators the...
What is the youngest age I will be able to tell?
I have some 11 week old Buff Cochin Bantams, sex was pretty obvious even when I got them at around 7 weeks.....
Have 9 black frizzles that will be 5 weeks Monday....Two have reddish combs already. What do you think? Too young to tell or ...
