I hate that so many of our awesome founding members are leaving. Terry, you have been above and beyond a great wealth of info and help to get me started. I feel truly blessed to have found you on this thread and be friends now off the thread. Bairo, your knowledge and resourcefulness have helped...

Welcome back to our thread. I am sure these folks can teach you and lead you to some good birds. I feel very privileged to be a part of this thread with these awesome folks. What sort of exotics do you have? I worked for a bird store for a few years and have raised some myself. I am owned by a...

Welcome to the thread!

Well, it looks like my NYD hatch is gonna be early. I have cracked shells in about 4 of mine. They were dancing around last night and I figured they would come early. As long as they are healthy, I will be happy though. Although, I am like Terry...hope this doesn't mean a bunch of little roo's...

Merry Christmas everyone!

alright, AJ....did your Seramas take to the buckets??? Mine are still refusing to use it. They act like its will eat them if they get close. I have tried to show them and the D'uccle's will use it right in front of them and they stand there wide eyed waiting for it to swallow her. If she moves...

@TNBarnQueen that light colored chick is just like my "splash" cochin chick. At least thats what I was supposed to have. I got a chick in those cochins that is black skinned and 5 toe'd. They were all marked cochin/frizzle. So either eggs were mixed up or a silkie got in the pen. It has no...

Ok...who is NPIP certified and what did you do to become certified? Thanks for any/all advice.

Hey neighbor! and welcome to the best thread on the site. What kind of chickens do you have? I have a tiny flock with 5 hens and getting 4-5 a day. I consider myself lucky. Hopefully, some of my youngsters will be laying by spring or summer. And hopefully, my NYD hatch will produce me some...

I got my eggs posted for the NYD hatch. 29 Serama's and 2 red silkies Good Luck everyone!!!

Thank you Amy. I thought it was appropriate since she was running out of air when I pulled her shell back. And she is the cutest thing. They are eating and drinking now. So far, so good. I got 5 eggs from 5 hens today too. I guess the warm weather we have been having has confused them. I'm not...

Well, thanks to an hour of chat with TNBarnQueen and my first major surgery....not only did I survive, apparently so did the chick. I have officially hatched my first set of Silkies...go Little Giant Just a moment to show my newly acquired "kid Blue Silkie, Columbian Silkie hatched on...

What do you have? I am in Church Hill.

Any cochin bantam hatchers on here? Are they a full term hatch or might they pop early? My incubator was about 99+ almost every minute until they were moved to LD. They have been fairly steady there even in LD. My eggs are on day 19 and I just wondered if they might pop tomorrow. I have some...

OH Angie...my bad. I thought you had one stay gone all night and then found her in the corner of the yard. Maybe that was someone else. I sowee. I still hope she comes back. I got 2 more eggs today and 2 are sitting in boxes making attempts. My youngest Serama hen was privacy stricken and...

aww Angie, I hope she reappears like the one did last time. I will keep my fingers crossed for ya.

I have this little rooster to be up for re-homing as a pet. He is 8 weeks old Wed. He is a super sweet D'uccle. He does have a foot issue. In hatching, his little toes are not flat out like they should. He gets around fine, but I am not sure if he could hang on to breed later on. I could be...

AWWWW Stang....they are so cute. I still love that blue one. Stitch is adorable. And the black steel buck is a cutie too. OK....the babies got a day in the sun. It got up to 68 degrees and they got put in a cage and placed in the pen. So after all the hens tried to terrorize them for half...

Yes my 4 inside chicks are 2 Silkies and 2 D'uccles. I have been debating sending them out on some warm days to see how they do. I keep those lights on in the coop, so I would think they would be able to try it. They are 8 weeks old Wednesday.
