If my quail start laying better I'll try to join.

If anyone is still looking for some Malines, North Stars Farms breeds nice ones. I'm getting Bresse and Malines from them.

Sorry no hatching for me this year. Next year for sure though!

Yep so far pullet. In another 5 or 6 days you can be sure. Black chest and tails are 100% cocks.

Yah that's a boy. Don't feel bad I bought 6 sexed pullets, 3 are cockerells lol. They are very unique looking roosters for sure.

Yeah all look like pullets to me.

Well updating again. So of my "sexed" pullet chicks at least 3 look to be cockerells. Fun fun lol. Favorelles I've heard can be docile. I may decide to keep a rooster run. Basically would be 3-5 roosters that could be swapped out with hens for various breeding. We shall see. Still awaiting my...

Indeed. Shipped is always a gamble. Someone has to be big winner though lol hope it repeats.

It's always a crap shoot with shipped eggs. I generally try to stay within state or a neighboring state when possible. Gold feather is in south Louisiana if I remember correctly. I'm in mid Missouri. It was around 600 miles. It was also pretty cold too. I want to say 24 eggs total hatched 3...

They package well. If I remember right, I hatched about 10% of their shipped but it was shipped like 500-600 miles so I didn't expect great. The bresse looked like good standard, the roosters are jerks though.

Woo! Didn't realize it had been sooo long since I last updated. Well, here goes. I have some kind of predator that has wiped put my chickens the last 2 years. I now have good secure areas hopefully and have a pair of white bresse, new chicks of various others and soon will have excellent...

My guy ( who I would remind all is anti chickens) went pick up my order of faverolles at Cackle (it's less than a mile away from us) I asked him to ask if they had any extra chanteclers because they been unavailable for order since late Feb. He came back with my favs, 2 chanteclers and they...

The little fighter unfortunately didn't make it. :hit

My guy is like if this one makes it, it likely will be the tamest most handled one I've ever had. He even mentioned it being a house chicken lol You know all the work I'm putting in it's like 99% likely a rooster.

So, I finally was able to free their wing from their face. Still alot of stiff gunk on their face and varying other places. They are still strong, will push up and hop wiggle where they want but not more than a step or two. The wing I was able to loosen they don't move it much. Hopefully they...
