Not the genetic person here Gary, but those are cool looking chickens!

Gary, I have the match to your one that looks like a BLRW. I was thinking the same thing with this chick too. Hoping she is a she. Didn't want to hold still. Shes with her momma, even though she is way bigger then momma now.

 

[sillycmoy]

Silly---you are getting way down, way too close to your limit. You should be at least triple your limit at all times. What kind of chicken farmer are you, seriously. (jk!)

I had 32 outside with all the chicks. I filled my incubator totally full 43 eggs for the hatch along. I was surprised when I finally got down to the 6 chicks we were going to keep, and now I have the 2 Silkie Chicks with mom, and then the Silkie Mix. I still need a Frizzle so bad, I want another NN badly. And I'm going to need some Maran's next spring when my 2 will be 2 years old. And I have a Silkie that thinks she needs to be a mom. I need a farm!

I can help you out with the Marans, Frizzle (either olive egger LF or silkie frizzles), and NN. Just holler next year, I will be your enabler. :yiipchick

I should just drive up and get some eggs for that stupid Silkie. HeHe. But I so miss my Hokey Pokey NN, and I really will need some new Maran's next year since my girls will be 2 year old. So I will need some new Maran layers for next fall for sure

Is it ok to give silkies horse grain? I know it's kinda sugary and didn't know if it was too rich to feed silkies as a snack?

I mix sweet feed in with some of my scratch grains sometimes to feed my flock. My turkeys and chickens have always ever been fine with it.

Not quite the same thing, but I miss my white turkeys terribly today :/

Hi Everyone!

I apologize for jumping in like this, but y'all have no idea how excited I am to finally join this forum! I'm currently living in the Denver area, but in two weeks we are moving to Hooper, Utah. Going from a tenth acre lot in the suburbs to having a whole acre all to ourselves! Best part is we can finally have BYC after years of hoping and studying all things poultry!

I have an order in with McMurray for a dozen rainbow layer chicks. But I'm hoping to get some chickens locally, maybe some pullets that will start laying soon. Of course I will be checking ksl/craigslist but going that route I also worry about collecting too many chickens from various sources and possibly cross contaminating the flock with viruses and such. I'd love to cancel my order with McMurray if anyone can reccomend somewhere local to get our flock started? Or anyone who is looking to reduce their flock and wants them to go to a good home.

We are looking to take custody of our girls the first week of October. That gives us enough time to move in and build an awesome chicken coop! We are a super hardworking family of 7 that has dreamed of BYC for years. Any chickens we take on will cherished pets! We've had experience babysitting our friends chickens, so while we are still first timers - we do have a small amount of expereince on our resume!

Thanks so much and I'm really looking forward to participating in the forum and learning more from all of you!
