Awesome Jason! Hi Debi! Yes they're a dual purpose breed. Their meat is prized in Europe and they are egg laying machines! Ron - I'm so glad they're doing well! They're little champions. You're going to fall in love with the breed!

Ron - congratulations on the hatch! 100%?!? They are so awesome!

They're going good Ron! Thank you for asking! I'm looking for a part time job at a vets office right now! Can't wait! :-)

Hi guys! Haven't been on in a bit but wanted to let everyone know that basque hatching egg and pita pinta hatching egg orders are officially being filled! If you are on the "list", expect an email soon. If you would like to order some, please let me know! I hope everyone is doing AWESOME!! (And...

So cute!! They look like cheetah colors almost! Congrats on the awesome hatch! I think they'll be fine. They usually snap off when they get too small and I've seen them eat them a couple of times. Shouldn't be a huge issue as long as they don't keep doing it too often! Wow you've been busy...

Did your class win? Congrats on the great hatch!

Cute ad! And lots of congratulations to you and your kids!!! I would have separated him too. I have a cockerel that is 5 weeks old and is the same. He's been that way since the first few days of his life... running around relentlessly chasing and biting others. Even when the others try to run...

I've spent my Sunday making a chicken death list :-( 2 more cockerels to pick out and then my parts over. Johnny will do the culling. Ugh! Boywonder - welcome to the thread! I'm in Concord so not too far from you. Sorry to hear you're having issues with bumblefoot. Stick around the thread...

:-( I hope you have a fun trip around NorCal! haha Sorry to hear you lost her. She had a great home with you! (and an amazing name) Sorry you had to put that one down. Can't wait to see the end result of all your hard work! Sorry Ron :-( Eek!! They may still be ok. Don't give up hope! So...

They do! Haha They usually walk in it but I don't mind it because the others will peck it off their feet and eat it. Another way to get them to eat it is to dip your finger in the yogurt and put it on the tip of their beaks. Careful not to get it in their nostrils! That was for chickengirl. I...

You probably don't need to give them Corid if they are only a day old. I would try putting some Save-A-Chick Electrolytes and Save-A-Chick Probiotics in their water. Also, Poly-V-Sol (without Iron) baby drops work well in helping them perk up. I accredit it to saving 5 of my chicks when they...

I have 10 roos and can only keep 4. I've never culled a chicken before and am so scared! We bought a high powered pellet gun. I just can't chop off a head. I feel more confident though because of all of the support on this thread to get through stuff like this. Definitely use us if you need us...

Good Morning everyone!!! I am so glad you're ok! How scary for you. Congratulations! Thanks for the packing pictures. I didn't feel it in Concord! But then again, my head was a little fuzzy last night. I love your stories. You always have such great descriptions! hahaha Glad you didn't fall...

I agree with everyone. Can you get some chicks to put under her? Otherwise, move her to a completely different coop (if you can) without a nest box. I brought my girls that were broody to my backyard coop and they broke in a couple of hours. Good luck! Awesome.. and how patient of you!! :-) I...

That is heartbreaking. Please tell her I'm praying for her! Wow thank you!! (not sure why but it's so sweet of you!!) That's so cool about the pens!! So exciting!! They lay like champs!! I have 4 and I get 9 eggs every 2 days. I can always count on my PP's to be laying even when my Basques...

Yes they are! They are from the Asturias region in Spain (where it is cold and snowy). My Basques are hardy but they got nothing on PPs! I'm 7/10! July birthday people are awesome!! :-)

That's so exciting about the graduations!! That must be hard for you to have your kids graduating from big things the same year. You did a good job with them obviously! About the feathers - I've never heard of a non-committed broody but that's super interesting! If she keeps it up and doesn't...

Eeek! I hope they get to you soon!!

I get that a lot actually! Someone said they look like little puney Javas. That's fine with me though! I just love them! Hahaha! I love the contrast of the black and white.. Add in a super red comb and wattles and I'm dying of cuteness! They are both heat and cold hardy. My Pita Pintas rarely...

Found a way to get some pictures of the Pita Pintas up!
