isa browns

Hello there all! I have 4 roughly 8 month old laying hens which I got from TSC on April 5th this year. I'm looking to possibly trade these 4 for more oriental breeds like Polish/cochins/Ayam cemanis/Phoenix and more. Only breeds I'm unwilling to accept are Silkies. I originally got them for...

I would love to get an isa brown hen. which hatchery would have the best isa browns?

My count ordinance only allows me to have 5 chickens. I have 4 of different breeds. I would absolutely love to get a SINGLE ISA pullet, or day old or young chick. Most HATCHERIES have a larger minimum order. Anyone know where I can get just one? I live in Maryland.

G'day everyone, Mumma Chook here from down under. I am on my 4th hatch. So far i have had 100% hatching on the last 2 sets. I only have a small incubator that holds 8 eggs. I set 7 last month and all hatched. Unfortunately 3 are now no longer with me. It is heart breaking when you loose any. I...

Hello this is my first time raising chicks. I work at a farm and we received a shipment of 300 or so layer chicks five weeks back. Around 70 of them were leghorns, 25 are welsummers, 100 are isa browns, and 100 are various easter eggers. We have been raising them in a brooder inside our...

Hi, We have raised these chickens since around 2 to 3 weeks and they are now around 13 to 15 weeks old. They all appear to have male characteristics and we hear the odd masculine sounding noises but no crowing. Is there any hope there are some females among them?

Hey everyone, just thought I'd pop up some photos of my girls here. Everyone has been so helpful and kind in helping us. About a year ago, I happened upon this site and was so extremely grateful for the advice and support I was given. I was distraught at the time. I had lost one of our...

New to this forum and wanted to introduce myself. I live in southeast Texas. I have 10 beautiful ISA Browns backyard chickens that I raised from 2 days old. They are getting ready to lay and I'm so excited. I feed organic feed, millworms, scraps, and let them free range most every day. So...

I am very pleased to have found this website and join. Thank you to the owners and creators! I have a long association with hens (here in Australia everyone calls them "chooks") starting from when I was only 4 or 5 years old, when I was the only one in my family who could pick up the bantams...

Hi everyone. I primarily signed up because I've searched a lot on here since getting our first set of chicks ever. I finally joined because I'm really curious to see if there's a possibility that one of our ISA browns is actually a rooster. I know their sex linked and we did buy from a hatchery...

Hey all! My name is Gabbie and I am located in Alabama. My husband and I recently became the proud owners of 6 sweet little chicks. We have two Rhode Island Reds, two Golden Comets, and two Isa Browns. I am excited to see where these little ones take us! We have already used this site...

hello all! I’m from Illinois where winters get pretty cold. However, I have successfully merged isa Browns (full size) and silkies (bantams)! They cuddle together in the coop, they lay together in the same spot, and roam the yard together during the day for fun. The full size keep the silkie...

Early this morning, I went to check on my four pullets. I found a special surprise from one of them who is now a hen, and it was a cute little egg! I assumed it was from one of our ISA's but I didn't have a 100% accurate way to figure out. Just thirty minutes ago I went to sit with my girls, and...

Hi all. I started out one year ago with 4 Rhode Island Red hens. Unfortunately, I am now down to 2 (1 hen died from an attack by neighbor's dog; 2nd hen died just recently from a fall). I was so heartbroken I swore the remaining 2 will be it. BUT....my spouse KNEW how much I enjoy relaxing...

I had my ladies out for a real deal (supervised) free range session today. They are getting so big, SO fast! I just adore them. Here is my beautiful bearded lady. Sold to us as an “Americana”. I think she is vying for the spot of head chicken! They enjoyed the shade of the cherry trees...

:frowHey again BYC friends! I’ve been here for a few weeks now and am finally posting our intro. Now that we have had our chickens for a few days and are officially chicken parents I felt like now was a good time for sharing so here goes. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get...

Ok, we got our chickens today! We have 7 pullets, all 6 weeks old. We have three “Americanas”, 2 Black Jersey Giants, and 2 Isa Browns. They are Lucy (Ricardo), Ethel (Mertz), Sally (Rodgers), Gladys (Kravitz), Millie (Helper), Tabitha (Stevens), and Endora. I absolutely adore them all! :love...
