I would like to sell off some of my roosters, as I currently have too many (15-20). They are 5-month old, big, beautiful, non-aggressive, healthy Marans, D'Anvers, Silkies and Barred Rock cockerels. I would prefer to sell them to a good home than to have them sent to freezer camp. If anyone...

Marans, Silkies, D'Anvers and Barred Rock Cockerels. All big, beautiful and non-aggressive, 5 month old, hand-raised birds. Prefer to re-home and not to send them to freezer camp. Asking $5 each to cover cost of food. Pick-up only. Send PM including email for more information.

Anyone want to trade some porcelain chicks for quail D'Anver chicks? I'm in CT.

Gah! Don't tell me that they are all males! I tried to sex them in the first 2 days (by wing feathers) and I thought I had 2 males and 3 females. Oh well, there are 5 more chicks in the brooder and 2 adolescents out in the coop. I should have named her Fertile Myrtle. Lol

I'm in Oxford too!!!

Thought I would share some recent pictures of Amelia Egghart: And her 3-week old chicks:

I have ten 1-week old Quail D'Anver chicks and two 2-month old Quail D'Anver chicks that I would love to sell, or trade for different colored D'Anvers (for variety). They are all from my Gazpacho and Amelia Egghart, who came from SQ parents. Anyone in CT interested?

I have a Quail D'Anver(Amelia Egghart) who hatched out 5 of her own chicks. She is VERY protective of them, and attacks my hand when I go to change the water or food in her brooder. How long will this last? The chicks are one week old. When can I put her back in the coop with her roo partner...

There is a whole thread on the Reptipro... look for Reptipro 5000 thread - many people have written about the new unit recently.

So we were thinking that my 2 Quail D'Anver chicks that were hatched 3/4/12 were boys. The other day, I caught one of my 11-week old Millie Fleur Bantam Cochin Cockerels trying to mate with one of the D'Anver chicks. Does that mean that the one he was "friendly" with is a girl??? Can chickens...
