Well I used to have over 100 chickens plus who knows how many chicks at any one given time. It could take me easily 45+ minutes just to feed and water, not including any doctoring or special care any of them might need. It had turned into a job instead of just being a relaxing hobby. So I made...

I've got close to 50 adult chickens and approximately 50-60 chicks and only 4 10x10 pens and several brooder type pens for the chicks. Now they're all bantams so it's not bad for the adult birds now but when all these chicks get big enough to go on the ground they're going to be pressed for...

We are selling out of everything except for a select few chickens. We are located in East Texas between Broaddus, San Augustine and Bronson. We will ship when weather permits. If you are interested in any of these birds please pm me. We will also sell everything together for $275 (no shipping...

Well as of a few hours ago, I have 50 buff Orpington pullets, 5 buff Orpington males, 50 RIR pullets, and 5 RIR males ordered from Ideal poultry due to arrive Friday January 27. My flock right now consists of mostly bantam Cochins and old English game bantams with a few random chickens thrown...

I need help figuring out which ducks are laying these eggs. I have a pair of call ducks, 1 blue swedish hen, 1 chocolate runner duck hen, and 2 what I think are harlequin ducks at least one female and hopefully a male. The two mint green eggs are slightly larger than my old english bantam...

I have some duck eggs I want to incubate but I need to know temps and how much they differ from chicken eggs when incubating. My incubator is set perfectly for my chicken eggs and I really don't want to mess with it. I do have another incubator I can use, it's just not as good.

I have 40 bantam Cochin eggs from LuckyPickens that are due to hatch any time now. Today is day 18 so technically they have a few days to go, but my incubator tends to hatch eggs on day 18. I don't know why they hatch early but my hatch rates have been great so I'm not touching anything, I'm...

I have no idea what a duck nest box is supposed to look like. Are they just like chicken nest boxes? Do ducks like them covered and dark? How big should they be? (I have one swedish, 2 calls, 1 runner, 3 ?'s If I have the ducks on a pond is there a way to build them a nest that is somewhat...

I recently got a pair of call ducks and I'm hoping I'll be getting some eggs soon. Duck eggs are incubated differently than chickens correct?

I was at a chicken sale last night and there was a pen labeled Snowy Call Duck pair. Naturally I was interested, even with no experiance and limited knowledge. I won the auction at $36 for the pair! For the prices I've seen on call ducks I consider this a steal even if they aren't totally...

My uncle recently talked with a gentleman who raises chickens and my uncle told him I was into chickens too. The man said he would GIVE me breeding stock simply for bringing him some eggs occasionally when he needs them. They're supposed to be a rare breed. My uncle doesn't know much about...

I bought some rabbits as an impulse buy at a sale last week. 4 bred does and a buck. One of the does turned out to be a buck so now it's 3 bred does and two bucks. I'll be honest here: when I bought them it was because they only went for $6 each and figured I could sell the babies and make...

LuckyPickens, I hope I didn't scare you by seein your name in the title. Lol. This is a review I wanted to make sure everyone saw. LuckyPickens is by far the best source of bantam Cochins I've dealt with and I have an amazing reason for saying this. I recently ordered 30 bantam Cochin eggs...

Just now I wanted to print a single post out of a thread because I want to save it for notes on genetics. I wasn't able to do this, instead I had to go to print preview, figure out which pages the post was one (it was a long post so it covered several pieces of paper). It also started at the...

I'm hoping to get some input on my bantam cochins. These are pet quality but I would like to know exactly what makes them pet quality aside from off colors. I think they are beautiful and love them very much. I would just like to learn about what I have and what kind of birds to look for to...

Could someone direct me to a website or other forum where I could find James Cooper. He breeds bantam cochins Thanks KDailey

So I picked this guy up in Canton. I really didn't need another rooster and I tried to resist but I wasn't able to. We walked the whole dog-town looking at all the chickens so I could decide which ones I wanted and could make sure that there wasn't the same bird a little further down for a...

In just a few hours I'm headed to the Canton Trade Days! They're the LARGEST flea market in the country (maybe the world but i'm not for sure) and they're supposed to have a TON of chickens. I'm hoping to pick up several chickens that I'm having a hard time finding around my area. I'm so...

Ok so I've got several different colors of Cochin chicks and I'd like to know what some of the possibilities are that I might get if I hatch any eggs from them. Bantams: I'm not sure on the sexes on some of these so I'm just gonna give you the colors and just assume there are at least one...

The Canton, Tx flea market. This is THE biggest flea market in the world and there's usually around 200,000 people that visit in a single "first monday" weekend! And... there are lots and lots of chickens, ducks, peafowl, geese, quail, etc. I'm going this weekend and hope to bring home a few...
