ISO Blue Black or White English Orps to be shipped to LA. Looking for bowling ball bodies with little leg. Nephew is now 4-h and looking for better stock.
I have lost 4 5-6 week old chicks in about a week. Weak legs to paralysis then weird neck angles. The rest of the group all seem fine now. Anything I can do to make sure they don't get sick? Please help.
Had 2 silkies hatch yesterdayand overnight. Took them out of bator this morning and put in with a few that are 3 wks old. Noticed the 2 hatchlings had green runny poop. Is that normal and I just never noticed it or should I be concerned?
Anyone ever had a rooster with a crooked tail? Its turning into a nice tail but it angles off to the side instead of straight back. He is the only Barnie that I have. Tried hatching this spring and he was it. Is it hereditary of just a fluke?
Anyone have any eggs available to ship? Will be setting some Orps for my daughter next week and I REALLY want some Barnies.Looking to get 6-8. Please PM me if you have any.
Thanks in advance.
