I have room for maybe 12 more chickens, but I want all kinds of different breeds. I'm looking for people with either more than one of the breeds I'm looking for or who are willing to ship just a few eggs (6-8) In order of most desired to least I'd like some: Cochins!!! SQ Silkies Brahmas SLW...

I have 3 silkies who are exactly 18 weeks old today and I decided it was about time to have all you silkie people out there help me out and sex them... so here we go. Dolly- I am absolutely sure is a rooster (his wattles get bigger every day), but i just thought I'd post him anyway since I...

I'm going to build an incubator and am interested in 4 breeds... Cochin Polish Silkie Wyandotte Do you have any of these? I don't want too many so maybe less than 6 of each? Thanks!

My 3 silkies are now 16 weeks old and I was wondering if they are old enough for you chicken people out there to sex. Tbey are only hatchery quality so I think they're old enough? I think one is definitely a cockeral and one is definitely a pullet... but there's one more that I'm not sure about...

Hi. I'm thinking about hatching some ducks as an experiment (1/2 under a broody and 1/2 in an incubator) I know there's a whole tutorial section for this.. but that basically tells me how to turn them and such and that's very helpful but as far as making the incubator it just shows me a bunch...

I've heard a little about the concept as my aunt had a room mate in college that raised one baby duck that would follow her to class if she let it. Anyway I just read somewhere that it is not exactly imprinting on an individual as much as on a species (either duck/goose or human) then later it...

My little chooks are now 11 weeks... so... ROO OR PULLET? I'm not very worried about any of them (being roosters), but just wanted to be sure since this is my first flock. 1. Agnes BO 2. Beatrice BO 3. Charlotte EE 4. Gwendolyn EE 5. Lucille EE ..And I know it's too early to...

I really should have done this a while ago. I tried to do it around 5 weeks, but the pictures were not the best. My chickens are now 11 weeks... so... ROO OR PULLET? 1. Agnes BO 2. Beatrice BO 3. Charlotte EE 4. Gwendolyn EE 5. Lucille EE ..And I know it's too early to tell for...

#1 BO- Agnes #2 BO- Beatrice #3 EE- Gwendolyn #4 EE- Lucille #5 EE- Charlotte #6 just for fun- my SILKIES! Dottie, Dolly, Betty I hope the pics are ok... Thanks!

Is 4 weeks old enough to post pics for you guys.. I want to be sure of the genders and I'm not sure if you BYCers would just say "... uh we can't tell yet.." I have 3 EE, 2 BO, and 3 silkies and I think they might be in that order (oldest to youngest) as far as age goes.. from the beginning...

Available for shipping (preferable) or near North West Oregon/ South West Washington. I am mostly just really excited about incubating and having my own babies and am interested in both chickens and ducks. Possible Chicken Breeds: Jersey Giants Brahmas White/Buff/Splash Silkies Silver/Golden...

Hi! I have 8 little (but getting bigger every day) chicks right now that are about a week to a week and a half old. and I cannot believe how big some are getting!!! My EE's are huge (about 2x as big as when i got them), have full-blown wings and are starting to get tails!!! The rest are younger...

i was soo excited wen i called the feed store yesterday to make sure the shipping was going to be on time (today). and they said they were all there already (a day early) i rushed to walmart to get a storage tub for my brooder and then went to the feed store! long story short, i now have 3 EEs...

So I've been freaking out for the past month about getting my chickens and was so happy to find BYC and now, out of the blue, my uncle mentions getting GOATS?!? I'm going crazy with excitement:ya, but realized i don't know the first thing about goats. His friend apparently has 4 pregnant does...

So, my 2nd cat, rosie showed up outside about a week after we moved to our new house and, because I love cats (and already have one so had plenty of kitty food), I fed her. And my mom was right, once I was feeding her, she was here for good. Which was more than fine with me. So I put some flea...

I always thought silkies laid little light brown eggs (BYC breed index said so), so why, on MPC are the white silkie bantam hatching eggs shown as really big white eggs? Did they just not bother to put correct photos (it looked like pretty much all the brown egg breeds were the same picture and...

I wanna get my first chicks this spring and was wondering where some BYCers got their birds. So any favorite hatcheries? or did you buy from a feed store? Breeders? Thanks!

I am looking to order my first chicks!!! I'm looking for a few specific breeds, EE, Buff Orpingtons, Silver Laced Wyandottes and Silkies. I've been looking around and of the few hatcheries online that even have all the breeds right now or at least soon (mcmurray, cackle, mypetchicken), I had...

I'm planning on getting my first chicks EVER. I'm a complete beginner. A bit clueless on where to get them? I think I'd probably like to order them but not sure where are some good trusted places to get them (don't want to buy sick chicks) that also have a good selection for not too expensive...
