Free pet quality gray silkie roo. 7 months old. PM me if interested.
She hasn't layed an egg in awhile, but I thought she was molting. Now I am sure it is something else. I found her this evening just lethargic outside. The last few days have been very hot, in the mid 90's, but today was nice. The hen is over a year old, she is a red sex link. When I picked her...
I was looking on here for pictures of blue partridge, someone said I would get blue partridge if I bred my two silkies together. I know I have a blue girl and thought I had a partridge boy. In seeing other pics on here, I am not sure my boy is partridge. The other partridge silkies I see on here...
This auction is for 6 pure mallard duck eggs. The ducks are laying everyday, so I have eggs coming out of my ears! We just hatched some ducklings a few weeks ago, so fertility is great, although I cant guarantee hatch rate due to unforseen shipping circumstances. I will try to include a few...
It seems my rooster does not like my shoes! I got new ones wore them outside this morning to look at the garden etc. He started attacking my feet/shoes! He would not stop. He was going for the shoes! He did this a number of times, so I went in and changed into my boots I have been wearing...
Ok well I have a red pyle old english game bantam that went broody then decided to give up before the eggs hatched. So into the incubator they went and only 1 of hers was good and it hatched last Thurs. I have 2 roosters, a mille fluer d uccle and a golden sebright. So I have no idea who the...
I was outside enjoying the weather and the chickens and ducks and everyone went on alert and the biggest coyote was scoping them all out at the edge of the woods in the backyard! When I got up it took off and ran into the woods. Needless to say, no more free ranging for them. I didnt realize...
I have a mille fluer d'uccle and a red pyle oegb and am wondering what color eggs they lay. They are my only two bantams and we got an egg about two weeks ago and then another today. The two eggs are a light cream/tinted. So just wondering so I know which one is laying!
Just went outside and noticed one of our female mallards had white eyes. So I picked her up and her eyes look bubbly,foamy white and look a little irritated. They do not really look swollen, but not quite right. She also has a pretty large swelling on the top of her head. She is acting normal...
I do not know what breed this girl is. I got 7 as chicks from TSC. They were supposed to be Red and gold sex link pullets. Not knowing about sex links then we picked 4 red chicks and 3 light yellow /white chicks. 2 light ones are red sex link roosters and 4 are red sex link pullets. This one is...
Well we got our first egg today! We are so excited! The girls are about 16 weeks old. They are red sex links so its pretty normal for them to lay early, isnt it? Guess its time to get the nest boxes up! I'll try and post a pic later.
I'm thinking about getting geese, but probably not until spring 2010. Just wanted to know others experience with goose breeds and which is the friendliest. I have two young children and don't want anything aggressive towards them. Also does anyone know of anyone that sells goslings in Orange...
This was our first time hatching and although we only got 2 they are the cutest little chicks! Just wanted to share with everyone. And thanks to Kelly for the eggs! Both my kids are so excited!
Have had one chick hatch this evening. This is our first try at hatching. There seems to be nothing else going on so far with the other eggs, so I was just wondering how long I should leave them. Tomorrow at around 11 am will be day 22. Maybe some will be late hatchers? Hoping we get at least a...
I was outside yesterday and our roosters are really starting to crow. My 5 year old daughter came outside and heard them for the first time. She got all excited and came over to me and said,"Mommy they're roostering!"
I just thought it was so funny and cute and wanted to share!
Hi! I was wondering if anyone had any extra eggs for hatching available. My 5 year old daughter, Emily, really wants to hatch some eggs.She keeps asking if we can get eggs and do it. This would be our first try at hatching. We got our first chicks in March and she loves them so much! I really...
We have been getting a lot of thunderstorms and rain the last week. I've been letting them free range, but if a storm comes up, I have a few that will not go in the coop. They stand out in the pouring rain! I have about 5 right now getting soaking wet. I tried getting them in, but they wont go...
Does anyone know anything about this? We have a 10 week old pekin with leg feathers on the sides of both legs. It seems he is boy from his voice and he is getting a curled tail feather. He's had it since we got him at a few days old. It was the yellow fuzz when he was little and now small white...
This is our first year with chickens and it looks like we have too many roosters! So most of them will be rehomed, because the kids want to find them good homes. But I am wondering if we have enough girls. We have 2 standard size roosters and 5 pullets and also 3 bantam roosters and 2 bantam...
