Just wanted to throw this out, just to let you know in case you do not frequent the classifieds. I am moving 2 hours away and must get rid of my chickens ASAP. I am giving away my Delawares, 1 rooster and 3 hens for free. I bought the rooster and 2 hens from Michelle at Starbright Farm and...
In getting ready to move 2 hours away for school, I am forced to get rid of my chickens faster than I originally thought. I am giving my Delawares, 1 rooster and 3 hens away for free. They are about 1.5 years and 1 year old. I bought the rooster and 2 hens from Michelle at Starbright Farm and...
I am moving 2 hours away in the fall for school and must sell my Delaware flock. The rooster and 2 hens were purchased from Michelle at Starbright Farms, and one hen was hatched from one of the pairs. All are in good health, I may also have a coop and run for sale at the right price.

I have some chickens (9) that I believe have some sort of respiratory sickness. These are going to the butcher tomorrow, literally. Anyway, I want to move new chickens into the coop but am unsure if I should wait and/or clean it extremely well. Thanks.
One of the best looking orloff chicks (good color, and leg color) has what looks like very light feathered shanks going at least half way down? Is this something common or is it something to turn it into dinner?

Does anyone have pictures of their Orloff chicks. I ordered some from Strombergs expecting at least a little bit of quality. I know, I know. Anyway, their legs are a dark, drab color. Will it clear with time, or stay that color?

Small and light. I have one that was given to one of my kids for his night time flash light. I think it is a dollar store one probably cost a dollar. It is perfect as it sit just under the egg and very little light seeps out and I can easily cover that with my hand. Also, because it...
I gave my friend a couple eggs to hatch a little while ago. Only one hatched. If I remember right I think it's 6 weeks old this week. Anyway, not sure if the Delaware chick I have is a boy or girl. I'm leaning towards pullet.
I couldn't get any of the legs... not exactly cooperative!
