INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

[Chaneys Ranch]

Hi all -- I'm a new chicken mom in West Lafayette. I have seven 9-10 week old ladies.

Glad to meet you!

Welcome to BYC and our thread!

Guess who just crowed?

Yep. Trouble just left these chicks about 2 weeks ago & he made his 1st crow today. Hatched May 13th, so only 2 months old. Of course his daddy (Cogburn's son) started crowing at 3 mo & was mating the adult hens by 3.5 months. (I had the fertile eggs to prove it!) Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Gorgeous!

Took some pics today...mostly of the Muscovy..a guinea and peas in there too.

My newest additions, hatched 2 more pea babies just pulled from the bator today. Still at 100% hatch rate, 1 left not due for a few more weeks, that will make 10 ive hatched. Momma hen has 4 eggs she'sbrooding since we were on vacation so i suspect hers should be hatching this week or next.

Of 9 peas hatched 2 are black shoulder.

I have hatched 4 atipico muscovy but only 1 that isnt black, here she is before and now...so cute!



A pair of atipico.

Today...they both have such pretty copper colored barring on their chests.







Love the "butterfly tips" these have.



I also managed to hatch 6 of the AM eggs shipped to me. 2 Cuckoo, 1 black and 3 lavender..one of them came out with feathered shanks and splashes of copper?!? Not sure what happened there.


Ok, lots of pics i know but I've been sick and away for too long! I had to share!

LOVED all the pictures!!!!

I have a pair of blue-based sfh (Swedish Flower Hens) for sale. 15 weeks old.

Pullet has a crest; cockerel has German parentage.

Northern Indiana. I don't ship so it would have to be a pick up. If anyone is interested, send me a message and I'll send photos and more info.


And...
Here are a few photos of the SFH kids from a couple weeks ago This particular breed changes so much from week to week that they are really fun to watch grow up. The little cockerel pictured below already has changed immensely since these were taken.

They sure are stunning!

HELP!!!!!

For anyone in or around the Avon area that would like a few cockerels from @jcnhy2000's stock I have (2) Easter Egger's and (1) Lavender Splash Sumatra and (1) White Leghorn from @racinchickens stock.

We are not planning on breeding in the near future so we just don't want / need roosters. Let me know if interested and I'll send some pics via text ALL are very nice looking young roos or if your gonna process them....you don't care about pics I suppose

They were hatched approx. 1st of April

And as always, if there's no one interested I always welcome birds back.I have good luck rehoming roosters locally, but we are out far enough they don't bother folks.

Quote: For Curly, I may be able to work it in over a weekend.. But during the week right now is impossible. Send me a pm, and when its closer I should know. I may be doing the handicap ramp at the front of the house, if we are then I know I won't have time this weekend, ugh. I will talk to @kittydoc more on her roos.

@Indyshent somehow I left a message on a duck thread! I would be happy to humanely dispatch Curly, and all 3 Bielefelder boys are well off heat. PM me so we and Janet can figure it all out. I'm free this weekend. @jchny2000

Okay Janet....waiting to hear from a couple folks locally ( but may indeed take you up on this!!!! ) My wife was also gonna try posting on Avon Chatter.....

Forgot to post these here! My babies are 8 weeks old as of Monday. Look at my little man, Donnie!! Seems like he went from baby to little manly man overnight this past week!

Doesn't he have the sweetest face?

Also, I thought this was nice, he and Callette posed together for a side by side comparison of the difference between male and female SG Dorkings at this age.

They're a bunch of lazy, teenage chickens right now. Donnie with Izzy the Blue Ameraucana:

Umru the Light Brahma and Endymion the Easter-Egger:

Cazzie the Blue Cochin, melting over a rock

Rooska the Lavender Orpington, clearly telling me she doesn't like this heat:

Flury the Splash Cochin:

Flury using Lydda the SGD as a pillow

Those of you with more experience with Large Fowl Cochins, do I need to be concerned about the amount of pink in Flury's face lately? She's not any more developed than Cazzie, but she's a lot pinker. I've resigned myself to Umru being a boy, I think, but I need my sweet little Flury to be a girl!

Here's a photo of the boy I mentioned above...15 weeks old. (It was hot so he was holding his wing out a little...thus the odd appearance )
