I found some! 13 week old barred rock and golden comets. Supposed to pick them up this afternoon.Were you able to get more to replace the boys?
Best of luck with your birds looking forward to seeing pictures when you get them.I found some! 13 week old barred rock and golden comets. Supposed to pick them up this afternoon.
Definitely don't take birds with respiratory problems, that can lead to more headaches than you ever want to deal withHi, still trying to understand how to use the site. No, not yet. Looking but have mixed feelings on what to do at this point. Spoke to a local who took some young pullets out of a bad situation. He has been treating them for upper respiratory and thinks things are fine. As much as I would like to help by rehoming them not sure from my research that it is a good idea. Read where they can be healed from respiratory but can be lifelong carriers. Any ideas about that? The young fellas I bought the leghorns from won't have any more for a month or so and they will be younger than I want to deal with. So I am looking...
Wonderful! Hopefully these are all pulletsI found some! 13 week old barred rock and golden comets. Supposed to pick them up this afternoon.
Here they are! The new babies. Four weeks older than the last bunch and all brown egg layers (my preference). Discussed the roo situation with the man I purchased them from. He said I should not have any roos in the bunch but would happily trade if there were. As you can see from the pics they weren't too happy about being moved. VERY skittish. The barred rock whose photo shows she was behind wire was in time out for her aggressive behavior. Have to slowly get them accustomed to me and each other. Right now they (the barred rocks) aren't agreeing to be sociable with the comets at all. They all look healthy AND female to me... lol... He has 9 of these beautiful barred rocks left to sell out of this brood. Will definitely refer to him if anyone is looking for healthy chicks.I found some! 13 week old barred rock and golden comets.

Ahhh.... correction. I said the chicks were four weeks older but the other ones were 7 weeks, not 9 so these are 6 weeks older at 13 weeks. So it shouldn't be but a few more weeks? before they lay their first tiny pullet eggs...Here they are! The new babies. Four weeks older than the last bunch and all brown egg layers (my preference).

Yes, I agree. Strangely haven't heard back from the guy who had those birds so was protected there.Definitely don't take birds with respiratory problems, that can lead to more headaches than you ever want to deal with
You shouldn't have to wait too much longer before they start laying.Ahhh.... correction. I said the chicks were four weeks older but the other ones were 7 weeks, not 9 so these are 6 weeks older at 13 weeks. So it shouldn't be but a few more weeks? before they lay their first tiny pullet eggs...
