It was a respiratory disease that he is trying to treat right now!

As I understand it, respiratory diseases may be bacterial or viral, and require entirely different protocols. Hopefully he found out what the specific problem was.

I do like his tail angle and long tail feathers, thanks to all for the breed information.
I think I will look them up at the Ventura Poultry Show in November, it's always helpful to see several grouped together.

thank you man, he is going to be my breeder, I sold his smaller bro yesterday and two pullets. el bruto has over developed tail and saddle feathers and would probably not be good for show for that reason, but he was the darkest and biggest of all the males and should give me some good show quality birds

I just joined BYC and live in Aguanga, CA (SE of Temecula) and raise Marans, Ameraucanas, and Swedish Flower Hens as well as a bunch of Guinea fowl and Wild Turkeys that run around the ranch and also a flock of Muscovy Ducks. I am researching geese and interested in Nene or possibly other quieter geese.

Dskinner I had a muscovi once and he was a mean boy, are all Muscovy aggressive?
ART,

I've never had any mean ones. But, if you catch them, they do have spurs and claws and can rake you with them. We have a flock of 10 right now with 2 drakes and the rest are females and they are on about 1 acre of fenced riverbed along with our AGH hogs, 2 horses and our flock of SFHs and our Guinea fowl (they fly wherever they want).

Hi everyone!

I need your help!!

Okay, so I won an auction from Greenfire Farms for 12 random chicks! My shipment shipped today
and being the absolute sweetheart Josette is, she ended up giving me 28 chicks.. that's 16 extra.

I can't possibly have that many chicks/chickens!!



So, I will be selling each chick for only $15. This is incredibly cheap as the lowest priced chicks from them sell them for $29 each and many are $99 with the exception of the Ayam Cemani which is $199!

I'm not sure what the random assortment is yet, but as of right now I plan on selling:

1 Bielefelder chick (Female since they are an auto sexing breed - males will be $10 but I doubt they shipped me any since I asked for females)
5 Swedish Flower Hens
2 Cream Legbars (I asked for female, so I'm sure they are female but if they are male, they will be sold too; also an auto sexing breed - males will be $10)
? Random Assortment (As soon as I figure out what they are; I will post here)

Besides the Cream Legbars and Bielefelders, the other breeds are not sexed and I cannot guarantee females or take back any roosters.
First come first serve and we will be meeting at a Walmart in Baldwin Park as to not compromise my bio-security, since I take it EXTREMELY seriously and refuse to possibly infect my flock. The chicks will be in a brooder in my room and will be only the second batch that have ever been kept in doors. All my birds are very healthy and although the chicks will not be introduced to anyone in my flock, there will be no cross contamination because before I come back in my room, I always take off my "yard shoes" and change my clothes. Also, I've never had any deaths (besides a hawk attack, casualties from shipping, and my dog being released when I told my mother he must always be supervised with the older girls but that's a story for another time. The chickens that I have now are the first on this property for the last 40 years.

The chicks were shipped today from where Greenfire Farms is (Florida) and will be arriving here tomorrow at 3PM. Keep in mind that they are not here yet, and there may be some casualties. As mentioned, I will keep this list updated and also those that PM me updated.

If you are interested, please send me a PM! I will update as chicks are sold so as to not get anyone's hopes up.
Also, I will not mail. This is strictly pick ups. I also cannot meet you anywhere but at that Walmart because I am a very busy college student that also has to babysit her little sister.

Always with love,
Ashley Nguyen!
