Finally drying out.Hi everyone how's the Fourth going?
I moved some birds around today and got the chicks into their new spot without having to build new coop.
Vent sexing is a long learned skill that makes vent sexers at hatcheries very well paid.Vent sexing can be done the first couple days. I think only the first three. After that, I always go with how fast the wing feathers grow. Girls feather out faster. It is not for all breeds, but it works for me! You can also go by how fast they grow, and the thickness of their legs.
I think it's visible but doesn't really pop out, even as adults. Ducks are a different story.Watch a YouTube video. Basically, you make the penis pop out.
Just as well. Unless you were going to sell cockerels now or make them zoo animal feed you might as well wait.ummm hummmm I may wait till they get older then,
It is extremely rare for pullets to crow. Mature hens can crow either when their one viable ovary quits or when their flock dominance encourages them to do so.So true, but I've heard that some hens crow. None of mine do. With most of mine, I wait until they crow before I'm absolutely sure and get rid of them. But my Spitzhauben never made a peep. I had 12 hatch, and 5 of them got dark red crops early, the rest still don't have any. I feel confident I didn't get rid of any girls.
Was outside watching but now on TV. All the local stations are broadcasting from one of the major displays.The blank post was supposed to say "Everyone is probably off watching the fireworks."
Killing an animal in a trap is one of the hardest things I've done.@kwhites634 Did you survive your outing? Anymore chicks or pips?
@ChickenCanoe . If I can find someone to dispose if them I will, I am not sure if I can kill a mama and babies who have not hurt anything, just eaten cat food. In the other hand, I would rather them than any of my flock.
I go my run extension built for the new coop, and got pictures of my HRIR cockerels (9 of 13 are males) to post on the Heritage thread to ask for help selecting a couple of breeders.
Glad to hear it.Chaos and Whites and Dax. The guy turned himself in today.
Yeah, I survived. Nope, no more; don't really expect more at this point.@kwhites634 Did you survive your outing? Anymore chicks or pips?

Thanks, I'm hoping it'll be a better weed eater than lawn mower.Nice lawn mower
Thanks, that reminds me. I need to rename a pullet tonight. Well, not really rename. She's #51 and I have to remove her size 7 legband and replace it with a size 9.Currently just a single. Will get him a friend soon. No clue on age or breed. Bought him at auction so none of that was provided. His name is Spider-Man.
