Headed out at 3 am with my 13 year old son. (2 hour drive) What should I expect as far as parking? Are there signs to guide me where to go once I get into Lucasville? Thanks! aimee
We are planning it along with "Out There With Your Animals" day at the Hurricane Tractor Supply in WV. Please keep up with this thread for more info. Other BYC members are also on our informal "planning committee" and Derika from TSC in Hurricane is in charge as far as the store contact. Thanks...
Day 21 I had one hatchling. Listened all day for more pips.. nothing. Assuming the others would not hatch, I thought maybe it needed more humidity so I added water and thought.. "well, let's see what happens" well, at day 26 we had a pip.. no kidding. She hatched today, but is not strong at all...
Lost my babies to dogs.. moved to a new farm and want to raise more polish. Not too picky on color. Just LOVE them. Please msg me with price and location :o) thanks!
The owner of the dogs that have killed nearly my entire flock now is saying "what can I say but sorry". She has (after being fined by the county) allowed them back out to run again. She has no care nor consideration for others. She worries about losing her money to fines, however my total...
Read captions for orgin:
This one was hatched by us: Rooster was Welsummer, is Mom a Speckled Sussex you think?
From the same hatch: Same Roo - could be Welsummer or Golden Comet Hen? Egg was not very dark though. Look under my name on post for types of other hens I have.
These two came...
I know what a few of these are.. but not sure about others. Can you help my sister in law find out what she has? It's part of a Meyer Hatchery Rainbow Pullet pack.
Click the thumbnail for a larger photo. I know we have an EE, a SLW and Cukoo Maran, Welsummer, GLW - anyone?
My 7 month old polish rooster keeps twisting his neck to the side and looking upward through one eye, he's the loner of the group, the only Polish so he lives with the people (his place is right on the front porch.. his room is bigger than mine!) nice fella and we love him. He is kept from the...
We know this is not the wanted ad section - but this is a behavior issue. You see, Cruella keeps running away (far away in fact) The last time I found him a mile away on the side of the road. All he needed was a stick with a bandana tied to it. So, we think he's looking for hens that would have...
Single Young Black White Crested Bantam Rooster seeks hens of same breed to crow old with. He enjoys long walks in the pasture, catching bugs, cracked corn and chicken keep away with spaghetti noodles. Sometimes, if the moon is right and a hen would feel inclined, he could enjoy the occasional...
Well, Diane gave me the bug! I have purchased an Eco Mini Advance and set my first eggs this morning! I have plenty of chickens... so I will be giving these to a friend who has a nice farm. Wish me luck! I hope I did everything right!
I have 12 hens, the eggs that most of them are laying have gone from a rich brown to a really light cream color~ They eat Layena pellets, Oyster Shell is available all the time. They get fresh greens daily and plenty of good foods.
any ideas?
I have never incubated my eggs although I have had chickens for many years. Thinking I'd just like to try it!
I don't really need to do more than 12 at a time, and I'd like something that turns the eggs and has an air circulator.
ALSO.. of course I want to spend as little as possible. Maybe...
I need an intervention! I have 40 baby chicks in the brooder and have my eyes on some more! Someone stop the madness! LOL! My husband is ready to kill me!
I just can't help it... I love my chickies!!!
Last week I received my shipment from Mt. Healthy - all chicks were wonderful. One however, had a deformed leg. Really bad too. Not praddle, but just twisted and contourted. Poor thing! I found her a special home though! She will have all the help and attention she needs there. I was afraid my...
From the looks of the chicks in Murray McMurray's catalog, this appears to be a White Crested Polish. If she's (I HOPE SHE) is not... well, someone glued a big fat cotton ball on her head! I am assuming she was my free rare exotic. So, yeah, probably a Roo:he!!!!
I also got a bright yellow...
