Gorgeous ten month old large fowl barnevelder cockerel. Excellent temperament, excellent condition. You can see by the sheen on his feathers he has been well cared for. Presently free ranging in our yard. Parents on premises. Price is firm. Pick up at our NE TX farm. Beautiful yard art or...

I do not hatch my own chicks, I deliver the eggs and then pick up the chicks after hatch. My hatcher friend noted that of the three peafowl eggs I brought her, two hatched within hours of each other. The third chick continued to cry, but never pipped. Because it continued to cry and...

India Blue vs Purple.... Pied vs Silver Pied... Thanks for any help.

For the second time when I gave a chick an injection of Baytril it fell over daed within minutes afterward. I give the injection the same exact way I do with every other bird. I just wondered if anyone had any ideas on what I was doing wrong. I am careful to select the correct site, the...

It's that time of year and the storms have apparently disrupted some of our local wildlife. A big water moccassin (cottonmouth) bit my son twice on the ankle yesterday as he went to feed the peafowl. It was lying along the edge of the pen on the outside and as he approached with a bucket of...

Our cochin hen went to setting and had 16 eggs under her. Fine. Except that although there are other cochins in with her and although there is another nest for them to lay in, they are apparently laying in the same nest. She now has 24 eggs under her, which is rediculous. When they are even...

What does a bird with both dun and lavender expressed look like?

When hand turning my hatching eggs (before incubating) I wondered if I was supposed to be tipping them back and forth one direction or should I be rotating them four ways? I don't know if that makes any sense, sorry. Should I go back and from from a north - south direction (just an example)...

I need some clarification as to some things regarding heat, please. I read that it is necessary to have ceramic base, either in a mounted fixture or clamp type light, if I'm planning to use ceramic fixture, so I get that. Then I surf around and find some bulbs, which are colored. I notice...

I can't seem to find a current thread on MGB's, my fault Im sure, but no less irritating because of that.

Bantam pullet, I have no clue as to her parentage. She's very sweet natured.

What sex? Bird 1 - he already crows so he is more for comparison purposes than anything else. Haven't seen him breed the other bird, and have not heard him call the other bird for treats. Bird 2 - not yet crowing, *hoping* is a pullet. This bird is about 25% smaller than the first one...

Ok, this one I get - black cuckoo marans BUT, when they have the feathered shanks, are they referred to as "French" or simply "black cuckoo marans with feathered shanks"? Does using the word "French" imply specific breeding or status other than the feathered shanks? I want to be correct when I...

I have had poor experiences in adding a third hen to an established pair. In the past it has inevitably results in feather picking. Without keeping simple pairs though, I am short changing myself on the additional fertile eggs I could be receiving. I would like to get some tips on the best...

This is a standard size chick, not a bantam. And the only one that hatched looking like this (or anywhere close to it). Should be purebred as all parent stock were housed separately. Thank you for any guesses or comments!!

Thanks for any help.

Received a large qty of assorted hatching eggs from seller moving out of state. Now have chicks, both LF and bantam, that I need help identifying. Here is the first bantam. Thanks for any help. This chick is just a few days old.

From our local craigslist "Rooster are fullblood and 6months. old. Have 6 roadiland red and 4 newhamster."

I have seen no breeding by our self blue Dutch rooster. His hen layed her first egg today... plan to put it in the incubator anyway, but shouldn't I be seeing him breed her? They are penned together like many of my other birds and I am aware of breeding activity of all the pairs with the...

*Not* to stir anything up as I did a BYC search on dyeing chicks and it appeared very controversial, but I was just reading on a breed club site where it gave tips on how to identify specific chicks in each hatch. One way mentioned was embro dyeing. I am having a terrible time with keeping up...
