Is there a way to sex Orpington's or Jersey Giants?

Is there a way to sex Orpington's or Jersey Giants?

A professional could vent sex them. And even if they are one of the breeds that could be feather sexed, by the time they get to the feed store, it is probably too late to do that.

So basically the effective answer is No, not reliably.

Woah....seems like years since I've been here last. Short summary, we picked our favorites, culled the least liked (they were delicious!) and added extra run space! Our favorite EE rooster FINALLY graced us with a crow last week and hasn't stopped since and yesterday (Our wedding anniversary) we were graced with our first 2 eggs! Caught a sweet BPR in the act this morning as well! What a journey this not quite a year has been! I hope everyone else has been doing well! Will check back after I'm all caught up!

My test hatch went very well with my new incubator. 11 of 12 eggs hatched. All 4 legbars hatched (all boys....sigh) And 5 of 6 Bresse/Bresse Legbar eggs hatched. The other two were wyandotte mixes. The unhatched looks like it stopped development around halfway.

So I am now opening up to take orders for eggs and chicks. I'm going to start with people here on the Indiana thread to give you all first pick. I am going on vacation (hooray!) next week, and will start collecting eggs for orders when I return.

Here is what I have to offer:

American Bresse (AB)- Breeding pen has 2 roos and 8 pullets/hens) brown eggs, color varies from just tinted to medium brown. All have proper coloring. Impressive red crest and wattles, white feathers, blue legs. Males get big and meaty with a quite impressive carcass at 22-24 weeks. Females also good sized and lay very well. I average 25+ eggs/week

Crested Cream Legbars (CCL) - Breeding pen has 1 roo and two hens. Blue/blue-green eggs, both hens have crests, but that doesn't mean all hatchlings will. Both Roo and hens have decent coloring for the breed and all have yellow legs. This breed is still a work in progress, as the many legbar threads on BYC can show. I get about 10-12 eggs/week

.

Hatching Eggs:
AB - $3 each
CCL - $3 each

Chicks:
AB - 1-10 $11ea 11-20 $10ea 20+ $8ea
CCL - pullet: $25 cockerel:$10 pair: $30

I can also be talked into swapping or bartering.

PM me if you are interested. If you have already mentioned to me that you want some, your name is on the list, but pm me so we can talk about how many you want.

Hey all I've got a friend who's daughters bird got frostbite on its feet.
I did I bit of research and told her to soak them in warm salt water. (I really hope I didn't give her wrong information!) But would you guys have any advice for me please?
I feel bad if I give her wrong info.

I highly recommend that you PM aoxa here on BYC. She had frostbite with one of her girls and has experience.

I caved. I plan on getting my pullets friday, but I couldn't resist these two little ones. They were the smallest in the brooder, and getting ran over, soooo I brought them home. Just two of them, I think they are khaki campbell, but I really don't know. They were straight run all breeds. I guess it will be a surprise. We are giving them flock raiser and poly vi sol for niacin, is there anything else they need? I am completely dumb when it comes to ducks. They have a little stuffed doggy in the brooder and they love it. One little guys will not shut up. Omgoodness, its a loud one.
