Currently have 6 little yellow TJ chicks being raised by a good little momma. She calls them away any time I go outside, lol! I'm going to try to get a better look at them tonight. I noticed tail feathers on at least one earlier. After reading other people's experience with sexing them I'm...

Me and my broody just joined the club! I had a hen go broody and though I wanted to give her a chance to do her thing I am already over my legal limit of chickens. So, I figured give her a dozen TJ eggs and maybe she'll get one baby (if she's lucky). They were due Sat, and when I lifted her up...

I don't have a lot of experience with Gluten free baking, but a natural food company that I love, Wildtree, recently came out with a line of gluten free products you may like to try. They have mixes for bread, brownies, muffins, pizza dough and yellow cake. All of their gluten free products...

Quote: http://www.riellafarms.com/cms/ Is in Manteca Some of them may be the Game x BCMs that you hatched out from me. Processing the roos was part of the reason I did that mix, so if that's what they are, let me know how it goes. Yes, they are more than likely your gamexbcm's, or at least...

So, I've been procrastinating on doing anything with the babies I hatched out just before Easter with the daycare kids. Rehomed three pullets recently, have three more in with my big girls, though I know I can't keep them all. The big problem is the 5 cockerels I have! 3 of them have now...

Quote: Kim, I know I'm a bit late on responding to this, but for future reference and to point out to others. Even "required" vaccines aren't truely required. There is a waiver on the back of the vaccination cards in California schools that parents can sign, a "personal beliefs affidavit"...

Quote: yes, they are like a chocolate brown, really pretty. I've taken group pics, but haven't done a proper photo shoot yet, need to do that, then figure out how to post some pics

WOW! I got lucky in my chicken beginning! One of my daycare parents was moving and couldn't take the chickens with them to the new place, so I adopted them. She said that it cost them about $300 in materials to build the coop which was the only thing she asked for compensation for. We...

4 out of 4, happens a couple times a week.

Quote: Thanks! I knew I had read something about a cup before, but couldn't remember exactly what and there are SO many pages in this thread now it would take me a few days to go through them all. Tried to do a little splint with a hairtie yesterday like I read about in another thread, but...

We are up to 14 chicks now, had to help the last two because we inadvertently caused them to shrink wrap. On chickies is having issues walking, one leg stuck out behind :-( Guess I need to figure out how to hobble it... of what I've read thinking hairtie rather than bandaid since it has...

My DD is three as well as two of my dck's, they are DYING to hold the chicks that started hatching yesterday morning! I've told them no one can be held until everyone is done being born, so that will give some of the babies some time to get used to being alive. I'm more worried about the...

Quote: It is the responsibility of the bus driver to referee the children's behavior because he is the adult responsible for the children on the bus until they get home. Of ALL the children. I am sure he has the right to suspend the children causing the problems from his bus, but apparently...

I have chicks hatching today. I have seen people mention vaccinating for Marek's, but didn't think to ask about this at the feedstore when I bought their crumble. I have a small healthy backyard flock of 4 that these chicks will have minimal if any exposure to before being rehomed with friends...

Quote: OH How goes the hatch? Did everything work out? I helped that one a little, loosened the top a bit it came out and seems to be doing ok, 5 are out now, can see one more pip right now

well... My girls eat the left over pb&j's that the dck's leave behind without a problem... never just given them a glob of it though.

Two out , three pipped and one zipped! Started worrying about humidity (don't have a gauge) because the one who is zipped was the first one zipped hours ago and thought the membrane was looking a little dry so I tried to add some water in on the sponges through the vent. POP! goes the lightbulb...

I have a pip! Locked down the eggs on Friday (23) was only sure I saw movement in 9. Spent yesterday looking in there every hour or so and wondering if I was actually imagining things in quiet moments when I heard peeps. Thought maybe I was confusing it with the birds outside since I was...

Quote: I am sure it feels that way or you wouldn't say it, but as a former teacher turned daycare with the intention of going back to teaching I've gotta say. Teachers do NOT get into the business of teaching for the money. They get into it (mostly) for the love of children and learning...
