INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

I tried calling the phone number, and never had a reply or even an answer to my calls. I guess they have rehomed him.

I'll send her another PM and ask. And I'll double check to make sure I got the phone number right.

Thank you! I always love getting more Muscovy's!

 

[Finnie]

At least I know I didn't typo the phone number!

Is he a bantam??

Brick is a LF English Orp. I have some very LARGE English Lav Orps. Many of my hens weigh 8-9 lbs. When compared to my lav orps - Brick's small. I have one bantam English Orp. She's a cute little round hen that goes broody all the time. She's very, very light, so I really doubt Brick's a bantam. I'd guess he's about 7-8 lbs. I'll try to take more pics. Recently the chicks have been taking up much of my time.

@Mother2Hens
On the frizzles... besides being cute as can be How are they as layers? Do they lay much?

@Leahs Mom ~ I apologize! I've been away too from this thread or whatever it's called now. The Frizzles lay almost everyday, and I love to hard boil their eggs for snacks. The dominant Frizzle, Boa (as in feathered boa) became broody two days ago! She seems to be very serious. I have her locked up in a separate little coop where the hens like to lay eggs, and I let her have two of her sister's eggs to keep her happy until I get a few fertilized ones. I need some hatching eggs asap! Please let me know if anyone has any hatching eggs in the vicinity of Evansville—I'd probably drive as far as Bloomington if needed. Unfortunately, to get eggs from @ellymayRans, I'd have to drive, I mean crawl, through the I-69 construction zone. My veterinarian offered some hatching eggs, but he has barnyard mixes right now. If I can't find any "purebreds," I'll let Boa hatch his and give them back to him when they're bigger. I wouldn't be so picky, but I have limited space.

Can anyone tell me what this flower is?

ETA - I found out what they are. Rose Campion.

Black Frizzles are Cochins, right? Sorry am noob.

I might be wrong, but I think frizzles can come in any breed, but that Cochins are the most common. Agrarian didn't specify on their website, so I'm assuming cochin's!

On their FB page someone asked and they put this link:

(Black Frizzle Cochin Bantams)

I was tempted at first, but I don't care for the face on the one Meyer is using as the poster hen. Plus I am too full up to get more chicks. (Anybody want any Black Langshan chicks?)

I have a one year old Ameracauna hen who has been broody 3 times since March. Is this normal?

Sounds like it's normal for her

Seriously, I think each bird's hormones are different. Have you ever let her brood any eggs?
