    Looking for Female Red Golden Pheasants

    Last two seasons have ended up having almost all male chicks. Looking for females for some of my boys. Interested in 2014 or 2013 hatch dates. Send me your best deal. Also have 2014 males available if you are interested in trading. Thanks!

    Young male button quail needs a girlfriend because he's driving me nuts

    http://tampa.craigslist.org/psc/grd/4588054154.html Don't know if you found any in the meantime since you posted, but this is one of the first listings I've seen in awhile for buttons.

    I want quail

    Pheasants are not easy to hatch compared to quail (or chickens) and the eggs are much, much more expensive. They do not produce as many eggs -- red goldens like the picture only lay for about 3 months of the year. And realistically, they are too expensive of a bird to use for meat. Quails are...

    Red Golden Egg Eaters

    The pair are 3 this spring/summer and did not do this last year. The hen started off normally this season, but then things have gone downhill. Sometimes she lays in the run area, sometimes in the enclosed coop area, and sometimes on the roof of the enclosed coop. Last year all eggs were in...

    Red Golden Egg Eaters

    This year I am having a problem with my red golden male and female destroying their eggs. The hen is VERY inconsistent about where she lays, and I'm not sure if its her or the male or both that are going after the eggs. On days I expect her to lay, I'm trying to check every 15 min or so, and...

    Golden Pheasant? Is this possibly wild?

    Definitely looks like a young red golden pheasant -- maybe a year old. He's just beginning to get his adult plumage. I'd be wary of putting it in with your chickens -- they can catch illnesses from each other. I'm surprised your neighbor was able to catch it in the first place, but they make...

    Rouen Duck thread

    I posted a picture of my duck a couple months back...I got 6 "Pekin" duck eggs to hatch in my classroom, but we had one "odd duck"! I think she is a Rouen or Rouen mix -- definitely bigger than a mallard. What do y'all think?

    Please help me ID my OD

    I'd love to hear your girls! To me, OD seems bigger than our wild mallards already...but maybe that's just because its been so well fed? Yes, it was definitely slower growing than the Pekins, though. Funny since the eggs were all similar and it was the same size at hatch...the Pekins just...

    Please help me ID my OD

    This is OD -- "Odd Duck". It was the 6th of my "Pekin" duck eggs to hatch, but obviously was the odd one out of the batch. The lady I bought the eggs from didn't tell me she had any other type of duck besides Pekin. And her phone has since been disconnected. It hatched right on schedule on...

    Well, my 22 eggs turned out to be a bust. I never saw any development except in one, and it quit very, very early on. I opened all the eggs to see what was going on -- nothing happened in any of them except that one. Oh well...was worth the try. My pheasants laid their first egg of the...

    Quote: So I bought eggs on 2/20 and set them on 2/21...I bought them at Nature's Food Patch in Clearwater, Florida. The brand was "Farmer's Pride Fertile Eggs" distributed by United Natural Foods in CT and produced and packed for A & H Farms in NH. The date on the carton was 028, so I...

    I can finally join soon! I've been scouring markets and health food places for fertile eggs, and I finally found some today! I've got to wait for the duck eggs to get out of the incubator this weekend, but once its cleaned good, I'm getting eggs and keeping my fingers crossed! I'll post...

    Chickens for 10-20 years or more? Pull up a rockin' chair and lay some wisdom on us!

    When you feed egg shells back to the chickens, how do you prepare them? Someone mentioned baking them? Do you just crumble them or do you crush them up really finely? Thanks!

    Craig's List Mystery Chicken

    With a decent diet, it will be interesting to see how she develops... But she is pretty with the speckled/spangled thing going on. A game mix makes sense -- good survivors in urban chicken life and the Cuban culture in Ybor was known for cock fighting so the history is definitely there. Thanks...

    Craig's List Mystery Chicken

    Brought this little girl home earlier this evening...she was raised in an apartment on rice and beans. Owners told me her favorite food is french fries. Sigh... They said she was 3 months old and they thought she was an "ameraucana" that would lay blue eggs. She was swiped from a nest in Ybor...
