Afraid I don't have any ideas other than what have been suggested. Some questions, though... are the 2 with feathered legs bantams? or maybe bantam crosses? And the little red and white pullet by the water dish... is she rumpless? blue legs? Maybe some araucana? (American style rumpless...
I saw you were on here when I got on and tried so hard to catch up. Fell asleep instead. Last night, Belle woke me up at 1 am crying to go out... had an upset stomach. Then I couldn't get back to sleep so watched a movie... Miracles From Heaven. Made me cry buckets and kept me up even...
Man, that mower sure does like beating on you! Glad it didn't poke your eye out! ;)
I was on in the morning, but didn't make it back here until this evening. Did a bunch of yard work this morning, waiting for a guy to come and take away our old wooden swing set play structure thingy...he...
Most hatcheries will only guarantee 90% accuracy for vent sexing chicks, which is as much art as it is a skill. Of course sexlinks and autosexing breeds are almost 100% sexable. I looked through Hoover's available chicks, and did not see buff Cornish, so Jaiden must be something else. What...
Swap? I just asked you about swaps! You didn't say anything about going to a swap! Did you take your bantam cutie chicks? Hope they sell. You need the room! You will have a bator full when you get back!
Where did you get these chicks? It helps to know if they are from a hatchery or may be barnyard crosses.
Jaiden might be a buff Cornish. Looks very solid and stocky. And you said it is heavy!
I'm not sure of Tsuki's breed, but thinking it's a cockerel. That's a lot of comb for such a young...
Barking dogs drive me nuts, Star, but I'm surprised that it's Ridgebacks doing the barking. We had several when I was a kid. They rarely barked. Most I ever heard was when one treed a raccoon. It was an ugly outcome, and the raccoon lost. Hope you get some sleep. Rotten that the neighbors...
You mean 7-8 months for this bird, yes? I think you are right on the breed. Several of the large hatcheries sell them, so while they are not very common, they are comparable in price to more popular breeds. The name sure is a mouthful! A BYC friend has one, and we are forever forgetting the...
I haven't had time to try breaking them yet. Besides, we are having problems with jays eating eggs, so the broodies do a good job covering them up and saving a few every day. I have trouble selling chicks... don't like letting go. Kind of a wimp that way.
I have 3 that are broody and hogging the nest boxes... been a couple of months now. Last year I got my cuckoo Orp 3 chicks to raise. It was her first time. She loved them! Not sure what I'm going to do with her, and the other 2, this year. No more room for more chickens, so can't give them...
