Hey all,
So I had much better luck this year with my peas. I hatched out 10 chicks lost 3 to predators and 2 to drowning in the duck pool. :( But I, or I should say their mama hen has managed to raise the other 5 up to 4 months today. :) My question is I have an IB blue cock, 2 IB hens and...
Hey guys,
Okay, so this summer I was excited to have my 3-2 year Indian Blue hens lay for the first time. I got 18 eggs total, 15 which hatched. Everything was going fine for the first 3 weeks. They were housed in a large rubbermaid tub with a heat lamp and straw as bedding. I was feeding...

Need some help. I bought a couple of 6 month old peas last fall from a breeder in Valpo, IN. For the life of me I can't find his contact info. I know he said he posts on BYC so was hoping someone knew him or hopefully he would read this. Any help would be great!

Hey guys,
I am new to the BYC forum so I wish my first post was on better terms. I need some help because I am at wits end. I bought 25 guinea eggs and hatched 15 of them. A couple of them had spraddle leg so I did the bandaid trick and it worked great. All of them were happy and healthy...
