I was wondering if you are still selling hatching BLRW eggs from the Foley line? Thanks.

I've been making myself crazy trying to figure out what is wrong with my 7 week old Sebastopol goslings named Ethel. Her wings have looked wrong for a few weeks now, and everyone told me to leave her alone, she just needs to get the strength to hold her wings up, but Lucy and Fred have had...

Yes, thank you!

I know... I was really hoping for responses.

So, I have a Crested Cream Legbar Rooster (blue egg layers), and various tan egg layers (Barred Rocks, Buff Orps, Golden Laced Wynd, etc). Just for fun we loaded up the incubator with eggs for some "barnyard mixes". But here's my question. Everything I read says a blue egg layer x with a...

I ordered 6 new Cream Legbar Chicks from Green Fire Farms. 5 females, and 1 male... 4 of the females have nice dark striping... and one still has distinct stripping but more faded in color. The male has no stripes and a clear white spot on head. I just want to be sure you all feel it's...

The bandettes are what almost bought, I really like the idea of them. But I found a few people who said their birds would loose the bands if they free ranged with trees and branches and such, which mine do. I also had the concern that I have difference sized breeds, requiring a few different...

Perfect, ordering now. Thanks again!

Thank you for replying, that's exactly what I was worried about. Are these the type of metal bands you use?

I'm looking for numbered leg bands for my chickens, and I've narrowed it down to two styles... anyone with experience willing to weigh in? http://www.strombergschickens.com/product/Adjustable-Red-Aluminum-Bands-304r/metal-bands...

I don't how I missed you you already have hens, babies are nothing compared to them. I brood in my basement until they are feathered and hardly hear a peep. You're good! I was so worried when I got roosters (even though I'm allowed, it's rural here too) but most of my neighbors came over...

Grown chickens are noisy, even hens. I have a few that announce to the entire neighborhood everytime they lay an egg. Have you checked you're allowed to have them where you are?

Just noisy in the incubator until you take them out. Once they are comfortable with a heating plate or lamp they're pretty quiet... loud chirps mean something is wrong... usually too cold. I just couldn't imagine sleeping with them in my room while hatching.

I know my chicks took about 2 full days for everyone to hatch and dry up to be moved to the brooder and they were REALLY NOISY! Be prepared for a few nights of no sleep if you have them in your room lol. I had mine in a large closet/office space downstairs and I heard them chirping upstairs in...

I'm looking for Black Copper Marans Eggs to time with the delivery of some other eggs I ordered. I know it may be a stretch, but I'm looking for eggs that will be ready to be set in the incubator Feb 23-25th... any chance?

Every question I ask, leads to more information then I set out for and I think I get the conversations off track fast! But it's awesome! I just learned about hatching my future BCM eggs (I think I'm going to start with the way your friend in SC is doing hers). I'll get on Amazon for a better...

I would love to add ducks... maybe one day... sigh.

Don't apologize for the book! I love all the information. Maybe that's why I love this site... like minded people, hahaha! I'm so glad you told me this, not only for this hatch, but I am expecting some Welsumme & Black Copper Marans chicks in May and plan on keeping a BCM rooster...

I appreciate you saying this! I feel like I'm messing up left and right and have to remind myself it's a learning process. On day 7 when I candled I had 4 clearly not fertile eggs, and 4 that I couldn't see veins in so I pulled them out, I was so worried about exploding eggs ruining all the...
