    Ended Official BYC 2022 Summer Fair—Standard-Bred Chicken Show

    My bad Correction: Breed: Hisense 57 black chicken It really depends on what hatchary you get them from on what they are called and they only will tell you that they are made from black silkies and some mystery meat bird. The only other name I’ve heard is southern rambler.

    First egg - very early

    Yay!! I’ll be watching this post for more info. I’m a new chicken mom, my girls are about 12 weeks old and not laying yet but their combs are turning very red which I thought was early.

    Self Sufficient Breeding vs. Dual Purpose Breeding

    @Christiancowboy, hunnie it seems like you know what your doing. Keep faith in GOD, yourself and your project. Make the breeding into a fun game. Just have fun with it and move towards your goal. You got this.

    11 turned out to be boys out of 14 😩

    Okay okay, I get it, I should have CALLED. I don’t think they did that on purpose by any means. I also didn’t expect for much to actually happen. I think the wording of their response just kinda ticked me off- which I take responsibility for. I most likely took it wrong. In my defense I did wait...

    I feel the same way about the employees. I feel it’s not fair to judge them because mostly they are there to support their families, not give advice or know half of what they are doing. It’s really not their fault.

    I hope I worded that right. But I did let them know that I knew that info and where I got it 😅

    For all who voted “too bad so sad” you were right! Oh well. Lol lesson learned for sure. They literally sent their condolences for my luck. 🤣😬. Thank you so much for everyone’s input and support.

    Okay y’all, I’m gonna post them in the other places but I figured I’d start here so y’all will at least know who I’m talking about. Pics are not the best, it’s still not very bright outside. So this is most of them. The last pic I’m pretty sure is a girl so I posted it for reference.

    I will. Pickensandchigs said they have good customer service so I’m hopeful lol. I sent them an email but I’m super non confrontational so I told them what happened and that I was upset but didn’t ask if they could do anything.

    Arkansas folks speak up.........

    Hey y’all! I bought 15 mystic onyx chicks and 11 of them ended up being boys. I’m sure everyone else might be trying to rehome- buts here’s more lol. I’m asking for $7 rehoming fee or trade (I’ll take chickens and ducks 😁). I know it’s an odd amount but $10 just seems too much but I would like...

    11 turned out to be boys out of 14 😩

    We have 14 mystic onyx SR chicks from Hoovers hatchary. They are only about 5 weeks old but are starting to show their gender. 11 of them have way bigger combs and legs than the other 3 and trying to strut their dominance. I’m scared that I have a ton of males. I was expecting around half to be...

    Duckling super small compared to others

    Haha I think we all secretly give our feather babies too many treats from time to time. I know I do it. Especially when I first started with ducks. Just please make sure to offer some grit with their treats. I know peas are a great treat and is rich in niacin. I just buy the cheap frozen bags...

    Duckling super small compared to others

    THEY are SO COOOT! So I’m still fairly new to ducks myself. Have you tried giving them some vitamins in their water? Sometimes it’s just a vitamin deficiency. You can buy the powder stuff at tractor supply for a few dollars. I’ve read some use Gatorade.

    Oh good! I don’t know much about them so I didn’t know if that was a good price or not 😅 haha. They also pasturize and sell the milk as well.

    Trying to get some Mystic Onyx chicks

    I finally broke down and ordered from the TSC website aka Hoovers. I couldnt find them anywhere local either. Like you, I wasn’t too sure about having them mailed. I ordered 10, they sent 15 and all were alive and chirping. I did have 1 pass a few hours after getting them but I kinda just expect...
