I have been hatching chicks for quite a few years now and have always hatched more cockerals than pullets. I decided to set some of my large fowl project choc orps eggs so I can grow out a roo to replace my nasty chocolate boy. I had 8 eggs in the incubator, 7 have hatched and 6 are pullets...
this is my last call for the Hedemora rooster, he is getting culled this week. He is just too noisy. I keep putting it off but now he is getting one of the other roosters I was going to keep riled up. On to this other rooster....
I have a lf project chocolate orpington rooster, I hatched him...
Not an issue for me, just feel bad asking dh to cull. Since we don't eat them I hate throwing them away. I think the suspected cockerals are a welsummer and an ausrra white.
These chicks aren't going anywhere yet, rather offload here than craigslist. I am in Windham. They are just going through so much feed daily and making a mess. I am going to be putting them in a big coop soon cuz they keep escaping their brooder and we have to run through the yard after...
I have an offer for anyone looking for chicks off heat. I have approx 15 pullets that I will sell for $35 BUT whoever takes them would have to take the 2 or 3 suspected cockerals along with them.
Breeds are 2 or 3 or each of the following
Easter eggers, welsummer, barred rocks, Rhode island...
hey everyone...since my predators(hawk, raccoon and people) totally destroyed my flocks and my "specials", I have decided to not really do any breeding except for my lf choc orp project (but my roo seems to like me more than his girls ). I am still looking to rehome the two bantam choc orp...
so after downsizing and keeping a couple "extra" roos because they were quiet, they decided they want to be heard now . I need to re-home 2 bantam choc orp roos and a soft feathered black and gold hedemora roo. These guys instigate the 2 resident roos and it is getting too noisy again. The orps...
I have a bantam choc orp roo that has decided to get noisy now that there are only a couple of roos left. I got him last year as a young cockeral. He is not aggressive to me or my kids. $25. The roos carry 2 copies of the choc gene so first crossing (to black)would result in choc hens and...
in an effort to make this go quicker I am offering the trio of blue laced red naked necks for free. If I can't get rid of these soon I will have to just cull the roo and toss the hens with my layers. I love the look of them but it seems like a waste to toss out this project
also needing a...
Hoppy, I couldn't agree with you more! When I met dh he had a house in N.H. and a good paying job. After serving in the military many years and locations I happened to stay with my folks during one change of station took longer than we anticipated and I was very pregnant. Long story shorter...my...
I still have my trio of breda, dh has decided HE really likes them and their quirky behaviors so they are one of the breeds that are staying. I will be hatching some out soon so if you aren't in a rush I will be able to give you a cockeral later on?
ok, due to neighbor complaints and starting a new business I need to downsize, I am selling some birds.
I have 2 very friendly choc orp bantam roos, I have a lf cross I am going to use so I don't need these boys, best offer, these are around 9 months old. I do have 2 bantam hens but one hurt...
haven't been on much and have to deal with an issue. My neighbors are complaining again about the noise (and not to me, to the town) and we were told we needed to get rid of all the roosters. HAH! think not. We are legally allowed to have them, but I am going to downsize with so much going on in...
