You're right, I don't think he's a candy corn (also called Tolbunt ), but the Creles are VERY cool. You could probably get away with breeding him to the Buff Laced or Crele varieties and get really pretty results.
It is hard to lose chickens. I have lost several over the last couple of...
He's pretty. I have a fondness for the Buff Laced and Golden Laced, though I don't have any right now. I had a Golden Laced that was a total SPAZ, so I sold her. She didn't like to free range, and she REALLY doesn't like people, but she was SO pretty. All of the Polish I had raised from...
I bought two from a person in De Queen earlier this year for $20/chick. Turns out I got a pullet and a cockerel. If you're interested, I can see if I can find her contact.
hot and humid, but at least the rain has relented a bit.
It didn't affect my family, but the flooding is pretty bad. Driving through Foreman between New Boston and De Queen, I got to see some of the damage Sunday.
How about you? Do ya'll have any problems with flooding?
Has anyone ever had a wild bird lay an egg in your nesting boxes? I went out today to find a tiny egg tucked away in the corner of my nesting box, where I so-happened to have a broody hen. Of course, I couldn't leave it there, and there are no possible places it could have fallen. After some...
Haha, I think he only needs to worry if if I end up with over 100 eggs in the incubator. I tip my hat to you though. I know I couldn't handle that many chicks at once.
I'm the process of weaning the calf, so a little less will be on my plate.
My husband has forbid me from getting any more animals.... Just this year, I added 6 ducklings to my existing 4, so I have 10 (and 4 eggs in the 'bator). I have sold a few chickens so I'm down to 19 adults in the coops with two groups of chicks (12 total) in the brooder, 4 goslings coming next...
Hey guys. My Jersey from MM has been laying since July, and all of her eggs are brown with spots. The spots come out looking purple! It's beautiful, and I hope to keep it going in her offspring.
This is what they look like wet. I think the eggs are covered in a powdery-like film, giving the...
It's great having broody girls. I have caring family that bought me an egg turner to go with my incubator for my birthday in June, and it's not often I'm happy about not having to open my birthday present. LOL
I agree. I had three hens go broody this year back to back. First it was a Silkie, and I have her 6 eggs. My Splash OE tried to go broody at the same time, and it caused Poof to lose 4 of her eggs. I had to break her, and she hasn't tried to go broody again yet, but now I have a Golden...
