3 of my kids are entering poultry in our county fair. I didn't know it, but the waterers and feeders are to be brought by us. Not a problem, but they don't want us using the kind we use (long feeder, stand alone waterer). I noticed some of the other kids had these things they fitted to soda...

Well I guess we won't be doing a necropsy. Talked to the state vet and he felt it wouldn't be sufficient to have just one dead bird. It runs about 100.00 to have it done plus the shipping is quite expensive.

My dad has lost 3 full grown year old birds in the past month or 6 weeks. The first two were hens, I didn't see them but thought perhaps they were eggbound. They died about 3 weeks apart. This morning he lost a rooster in the same manner. They were perfectly fine that night, next morning they...

I have a bourbon red hen that I hatched last spring so she is almost a year old now. She was by herself and then she started squatting down on the ground here a couple weeks ago, then we found an egg on the ground from her. So I found a bourbon red tom for her, and since the minute he went in...

Recognized or not, those are some beautiful cochins, and I sure like your version of them!

Yes and these are hatchery birds. Thanks for the link. That is a nice sized bird. My cross was backwards, a white rock cock on a barred rock hen so I don't know that the feather sexing will work quite the same but that sure was a nice sized rooster! They said 16 pounds in about 16 weeks! Wow.

Will a barred rock crossed with a white rock perform as a hybrid? I'm thinking not because they are supposed to be just different colors but I was just curious. Thanks!

Good idea, I might do that!

Yeah I saw the auctions, the thing is I don't want the eggs for a couple more weeks. Beautiful birds though. And yes, I know they're chickens. I want to have chickens to hatch at the same time as my turkeys I've already ordered. Too funny though!

I would like to purchase anywhere between 6 and up wheaten ameraucana eggs. I can be flexible on the price, I can be flexible on the number of eggs. I cannot be flexible on the date. If they cannot be shipped on that date then I don't want them. I have had a bad couple purchases where I tried to...

Quote: Been using facebook too much. Looking for a like button, this was funny! It hasn't been 30 years, but its been long enough I can laugh without looking over my shoulder!!

I actually kinda liked their site. I thought their prices seemed really reasonable for the way they are selling as well. You get what you pay for kind of thing. It did make me think of that commercial, "Is running your business getting in the way of running your business?" Some people that are...

I have ordered from them-a shared order of eggs with another guy. He had 36 eggs and I had 26 eggs. He sent me an update last week that 30 of his hatched. I had an incubator malfunction (my heating element was practically sitting on the eggs) during lockdown and only hatched 3 but 22 of mine...

I have been looking for information about this breed. I know next to nothing. I bought 1 dozen wheaten pen. eggs from Julie Gabbard. Of them 5 hatched out, which I was pleased with for shipped eggs. The first one hatched and drowned in water, and it had chipmunk stripes on it. The other four...

It is a little time consuming when you first start with a website. For one thing, you're starting from scratch and that takes a long time to make it look just right like you want it. For another, you said you'll be learning which will take a little longer. However, once you get the hang of it...

Just got some cornish crosses in the mail today, so they are about 2 day olds. I noticed a couple of them are slobbering? Long string of slobber too. They have water and feed and seem to be doing well. The other chicks I received aren't doing it, at least not yet. Anyone know why they're doing...

Mamawolf- got mine yesterday! Thanks so much they are darling!

I also received their catalog this year. As a side note, did anyone else see that he has been asked to write the newest revision of Storey's Guide for poultry? I thought that was pretty cool!

What about something like this? https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aorev9RoJzM0dGVHZkVraExQeFJOTXREcHdVQ0Q5bHc&hl=en Maybe as a starting point? You could modify to how you like it or what works for you but as a springboard type of thing?
