    Pumpkin Hulsey Pair (White!)

    Hatched 3/1/11, they are now 15 weeks old - photo taken one month ago. These are Greenfire Farms-hatched birds and they lay prolifically. Free-range most of the day and fed basic layer pellets & some grower's crumble. "Midas" is striking with his gold mantle and saddle feathers, and he seems...

    Does comb damage disqualify a show bird?

    My little D'Uccle got into it with some bigger birds. Let's face it - everyone over 3 months old is bigger than she is. Though she's still the queen, she is now missing half her comb. To me, it's obvious that this is not a defect but damage. How is it viewed in the poultry world? We're not...

    Help! 3-mo-old Orpy not using legs, pupils dilated & not eating!!

    1) What type of bird , age and weight. Lemon Cuckoo split Orpington, 3 months old, *was* 1.5 pounds 2) What is the behavior, exactly. At first he seemed like his leg(s) were weak or injured and he just wanted to be held. Now he's all ruffled up, sitting on his butt instead of on his...

    1st incubation - 4 days in & temps too low

    Picked up a new styrofoam incubator, set it up and it held the temps pretty steady according to the thermometer that came with it. So I filled it with my own and eggs I had shipped, as well as putting a few under a broody Silkie, on May 18. Today, May 22, I candled them to replace any bad ones...

    Production Reds from Ideal Poultry

    These 15 chicks were delivered as "packing peanuts" and, as such, are supposed to be all males. Sexing is a 90% guarantee, so I can only assume that at least one is a pullet. These are FREE to anyone willing to take them off my hands. I could keep them to be processed later, but the truth is...

    Pumpkin Hulseys

    Have several Pumpkin Hulsey babies that are nearly a month old now. in with a few other breeds, they really stand out with their intelligence, curiosity, and ability to fly. I'm keeping a photographic record of their development here: https://picasaweb.google.com/chilifur/PumpkinHulseys#...

    Rooster Shuffle?

    My (approx) single 5 month old roo - Monet, a BCM - has acclimated to our household very well and is really taking to his "role" in the flock. This last week, however, he has started throwing his [self-obvious] superiority at my 17 year old son and my 13 year old daughter. Michael says Monet...

    Hi - finally introducing myself (Nor California)

    The template is a great place to start: (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes and no - I knuckled under to my kids wanting baby chicks and ducks several years ago. Being an avid animal person, it didn't take much. The "yes" is that because none of them lasted...
