Ugh. I have so much invested in this single pullet but the feathers just now started growing on her legs and feet so I'd have to keep all her chicks for months to determine if they have clean legs. I think I already knew I shouldn't breed her but I was hoping this kind of the thing would be a...

I wanted some chocolate orpingtons but I couldn't find any locally. So, I ordered hatching eggs. Two dozen eggs from two different breeders. The first pullet hatched is now a few months old. (I have four more from the second dozen that I can't sex just yet.) The thing is, that first pullet is a...

Awesome! Emailed just now. Thanks so much SunHwaKwon.

Aww. I missed this post and the ad has expired. Thanks so much though!

Looking for a breeding pair or two of Nankins but would also be interested in chicks in the southern US. I live in southern Ky and would like to find a breeder within a few hours drive if possible. I'd rather not have them shipped if I can help it. SQ preferred. Thanks.

Quote: Wake up every morning and look for a reason to die....TOO FUNNY. Not dying goats, just...well...I feel the same way about boers. Never heard it phrased quite so, though.

I have some Silver Laced Wyandottes (5 hens and 2 roos - all just over a yr old) that I have been trying to trade for some Golden Comet hens or pullets with no luck. When I posted ads to trade I got several replies wanting to just buy them outright, so I priced them, pulled the ads, and no one...

Quote: The chicks were $2 each - which I thought was a great deal on fully feathered chicks but we got an even better deal by taking all 6 chicks for $10.

Quote: Just came back from there...not too many chickens today lots of ducks. We try to get there about 7:30 Hardin Co time. The main day in Leitchfield is Wednesday but there are also always people set up on Saturday mornings (weather permitting). We got 3 Frizzle chicks and 3 Cochins there...

I have a total of 6 pips today (not due til tomorrow) but no real progress from yesterday's pips. They're still alive and rocking though.

Woohoo! I have two tiny little pips with one rocking. whew! I was picturing a big fat 0% hatch rate.

anything going on yet in your bator Insiderart? I've got nothing doing at all!

Quote: Thanks GEGChickies. I can use all the luck you can send. I'm still new to chickens and I don't even know what Brabanters are but I hope to add a few blue cochins eventually. What a shame you had to throw out any of yours. *sending good hatching vibes back your way*.......

Mine are due the 22nd. Out of 24 buff orpington eggs and 24 black austrolorps, I have a total of 29 who have made it this far. Half of these were shipped eggs so I evidently had some scrambled. I kept them in the 'bator until day 15. They were still clear so I finally tossed them. I have no...

The smaller dog choke collars are perfect but don't use it like a choke collar. It's nice to put one of those little metal snaps or a clip on it and use it like that but we also used zip ties to secure the two big rings together at the end of the collars and then just cut the ties after the...

I think I'm lucky. My DH has a thing for old iron. It takes ALOT of chickens and coops to add up to the cost of one really old green tractor.

Your vet can use the calf tip on the iron to disbud a kid as old as 6 weeks. I know this because when we first got our goats, my vet didn't even know you could get a goat tip so she made me wait until the kids were 6 weeks old and their little heads were big enough to handle the larger tip...

We weren't set on any one breed- just hoping to raise a few turkeys at home (for the table) every year and got a very good deal on this trio to start our turkey raising adventure. I couldn't find any pictures online that looked exactly like any of the three though - so BYCers to the rescue...

Thanks so much for your help!

Hi, My husband is getting a trio of turkeys this weekend. He found them on craigslist but the ad doesn't mention the breed. Can someone help id this breed please? TIA!
