Quote: Nah, they are still too young to tell, they are only 2 weeks old I will know more in a couple of weeks. At this stage their legs look the same.

This is my next project, as soon as I can find them for less than $300/pair they will be mine: Golden Laced Orpington Roo Golden Laced Orpington Pullet GLO Flock

Quote: I picked mine up from Ideal last October and they have not had any problems with laying or feathering. The pictures I posted are of them at 6 months old, I have not taken any new ones recently but they still look the same. Their feathering is amazing, very detailed and bright on the...

Quote: Wyandottes are awesome broodies too Nikki - I was going to ask you about your wyandottes, I was looking at your page and it's a wonderful page you have! I have wyandottes as well and I was wondering what yours look like now since they are older than mine? I put in an order for...

Quote: Sorry I got called away from the computer right after I posted my last post and just now got back, I am with Ron on the less crowds the better. The last two times I went down to RSR there were so many ppl I could not wait to get out of there. But unfortunately I have prior commitments...

Quote: We used 2 layers of 1/2 in. plywood and then covered ours with linoleum flooring. Easy to clean and helps with keeping the floor from getting soaked with chicken droppings. You can find scraps from Home Depot/Lowes in sizes from 4X4 to 12X12 for around $5 to $20. Then we just cover with...

Quote: Genny you are not going against the flow, I had them growing up and I laughed at a poor lady down at Greens when she said RIR's were too aggressive for her to have cause the ones we had growing up were nothing like she was describing. I think you have a point about Heritage vs. Hatchery...

Quote: I've heard that about RIR from two of you now. Good to know. I have small children and wouldn't like having aggressive chickens around. thanks for the info about ideal poutry too. Elizabeth The RIR were not aggressive with me or my boys (6 & 4) but they literally ripped one of my...

Quote: Personally - I am a Heritage Orpington lover. Currently am hatching blue orp chicks (ok, not me personally hatching - I have broodies doing that ) I also have some EE (easter eggers) - who lay blueish/greenish eggs. Then I have my bantams - cochins - both in Silver Laced and...

Quote: Yes they are but the Gold-Laced are right behind them in the race for feathers. The last two times I have got chicks they feathered out pretty fast. They are also the more dominant of all of the chicks and the most friendly. Every time I go out to check on them the RCR's are the first...

Hey all! Congrats on the 500th page, and to the brother coming home. Also Hi and Welcome to the new person that joined the thread. Things have been pretty busy around here, my DH wrecked our pickup on a barely there rock this weekend when he was out shooting with my Dad. I want to know at what...

Congratulations for your brother! We will definitely keep him in our T&P's.

It will take him a while to recover from the trauma he's been through. As long as he is eating and drinking though he has a much better chance of making a full recovery. Btw, I think I mentioned this before but I totally forgot until this morning that those Polish were St. Run not all pullets...

Aubrey I think I picked up your addiction yesterday while you were here. I have been out to watch the chicks probably 100 times already today. This is the most laid back and content bunch of chicks I have ever seen. With this new setup I have for them outside I have not had to worry about...

Quote: I know that sounds really silly doesn't it... I had 6 to start with and I named them 1 of 6, 2 of 6, and so on, then when I got 6 more and they were the same way I just started with 7 of 6, 8 of 6, heh My Mom who is a huge trekkie rofl'd when I told her.

Speaking of my girls, I have two RIR Roos and 1 Buff Orpington roo that I need to get rid of immediately, if you know of anyone that would like them they are free to whomever. They are nice looking roosters if someone wanted to used them for their flock, even if you wanna make stock out of them...

Quote: With shipping and vaxes included these guys were only $3.13 each. They are really good about not charging huge sums for their S&H and extras. For a hatchery I have been really pleased with the quality of the birds too. There have only been one or two of my SLW's that I got from them...

Quote: Welcome to the thread! I picked them up from Ideal Poultry out of Texas. They have always been a good hatchery for me. And the best part is I can place small orders without it costing an arm and a leg. On this order I got 6 each of the Large Fowl Golden Laced, Buff Laced and Red...
