The fight is about money. The breeders that complain about the hatcherys are mad because they sell us great birds for 2.60 each and the breeders who complain about them try to get 50 bucks for 6 eggs... I got beutiful birds from a big hatchery. My guess is, they (the big hatcheries) know what...
Hi, just had a few chicken chicks hatch. All but one did great but one is just full of afterbirth, compleatly covered. The baby was actually stuck to the bottom of the incubator. I washed his eyes so he could blink. My question is... What is the proper proceedure to getting it cleaned up? Can i...
Liz, Your house air is prob pretty dry unless you have a humdifier running. I would say pretty confidently your doing fine running your house air into the coop. G/L
I called the feed maker of a feed i was using with the coccsidiant.. amp adp or something like that and they said you can eat a bird who was on that feed it was safe, no wait time. The reason I called was one of my Chuckers died when it got its leg tore off by a dog and I wanted to see what it...
Its prob a little of a few things why some TA quail have dark meat... maybe there english or mixes of and maybe people just mismanaged and let them breed with regular cortunix so the bird is white but the meat took on the brown quail traits. Would be interesting if the thread started is sure...
She is actualy nicer looking in person, her head and tail has irradecent greens threw it which dont show up well in the pics. And she can fly pretty good to. She flew about 50 yards.
You know its funny about her.... I wanted Gunieas so the man (his name is Blue) came with the keets and...
The farmer down the block got this method from a old lady he new and he says its no fail.... hehehe Its a little differnt then the thread topic but.... he said take needle, thread it and push it threw a pencel erasor and hang it over the egg.... now this part I dont remember exactly but if it...
Yaaa.... That egg went into brownies last night... recipie called for two so the other was a store bought egg... the difference was unbelievable... Blues egg so orange and thick compared to the store egg. Checked today but no egg....)-: maybe by thisafternoon. Thanks for the complements...
I find myself not wanting to throw anything away wondering if it might be good for the chickens. Peeled and made some shrimp for New Years (Happy New Year). Then boiled the shells in water to make a little stock...
Looking at the boiled shrimp shells and wondering if there good to give the...
If the 13 birds I got from the person birds of a feather were better managed to keep up the TA&M lines I think I should prob keep those seperate.. if breeding to close is not a big deal. And just leave the other 6 white ones with the Jumbo Browns or cull one to see what the meat looks like on...
Wish I would have know about you Pine Grove before I got my RIR eggs... My birds do look nice but I would have like to have a few showy girls running around. I show Toy Poodles... there is no way I am getting into showing chickens...heheh but still would like a few to brag about... maybe...
I am new to raising birds so I will ask this here.. I think its the right place. I have the 6 TA&M quail that are 7 weeks old and 12 or 13 that are 4 weeks old. The first 6 from one person and the 13 from someone differnt. Now should I select which ones I like from each and mix them? or should...
Yaa eggs haha... Didnt plan it this way but between the shipping that killed more then 3/4 and later a dog, I only got 5 left. Two are MM hens, 2 CH.Ringnech hens and one Ch.Ringneck cockbird... There heavely guarded...heheh I can already see the male acting differnt and he is crowing...
Just to add my 2 cents... I wanted to try TA&M quails so I ordered some from someone differnt on ebay I will not name him but its a type of (car). I orderd TA@M and what I got was mostly all Jumbo Browns.. now to be fair this is not at all what I wanted and was ticked when they hatched. I did...
I am new to birds. I can say they love scratch. I feed all my birds what I think is prob over protiened feed avail for them all the time. Its someplace about 24% then maybe as ow as 20% if I mix some layer in. I know the food is way up there in protien but when you consider they love scratch...
