Hi! My name is Laura, I will be new to chicken on May 2nd! (my chickies get here then) although i have been doing reasearch on chickens for about a year.
I am ordering:
-Buff Brahma Bantam
-Black Tailed White Japanese
-Blue Silkie
I am ordering my three chicks from mypetchicken.com, and the...
has anybody used the Three Egg Full Auto Incubator? it holds only three eggs which (if i do hatch chicks) is all i really want to hatch right now? does anybody know the chances of anyof them hatching? or if the incubator works well?
Plus, usually, if you order eggs it seems to have to order 12...
I'm so sorry. the little japanese bantam that i ordered died, it was really sad having to see it die. i hope the rest of your chicks are doing fine.
So the ameraucanas do come it colors other than buff, the website only showed buff so i assumed that was all you could get. cool, i hope mine is...
I ordered from Mypetchicken also. I agree with everyone else traci is such a great help, but everyone else has already said enough about that so i'll move on.
Anyway, my chicks were hatched on sunday, shipped early monday morning and arrived by tuesday, also she said that they could come...
a sizzle is a combination of a silkie and a frizzle, so a barred rock frizzle would just be a barred rock frizzle. basically, sizzle is just a fun way to say a frizzle silkie.
ya they had straw and a warmer thingie. i dont think it was the cold, as both chicks died the same way, and they both looked like the same breed. i think they may have been sick. the one that lived for a while couldnt walk, which i dont think has anything to do with cold.
i dont really know. i think my extra was the same breed as the other i ordered so i think that they probably came from the same hatch. i didnt know that they would add an extra, when the post office people told me that one was dead and that the other three were in the corner i did a double take.
i was originaly going to order 3 bantam chicks. but one died in shipping and so i have to order three more or make up for the one i lost, but because they are soooo cute i am ordering 4... probalby.
anyway, i needed to know how big a tractor and run i need to make for 6 bantam chickens.
for...
one of my chickies died durring shipping so i am ordering three or four more. The sebrights are really pretty looking, but i'm not sure of their temperment. Does anybody have any that can tell me? or has anybody heard anything about this breed?
While i'm here, i was also wondering about the...
i let them know that two died, and Luna and Winna are looking very heathy! i'll post pictures soon, but i first need to take pictures with the chicks out of the red heat lamp, it makes them look purple and red...
My three chickies were supposed to arrive tomorrow, but when i got home from school i found a slip in the door saying that the post office had come to deliver a package but we werent there. We called the PO and they said that the chicks were there. we went to go get them, when we arrived they...
if you go to mypetchicken.com there is a link all the way down at the bottom on the left hand side that says breed selection tool.
It's amusing, and helpful, it lets you choose characteristics like broody, cold hardy, docile, the color of the eggs and how many eggs they lay and things like...
awww it is soo cute!!
I'm getting a BTW japanese bantam in TWO DAYS! (cant wait) ... now i am 10 times more exited! I would explode with exitingness (...) exept i know that if i did my chicks would die, as nobody else in my family has any clue at all about chick/chickens.
so i was looking around. How do you think this dog house would do?
Dimentions:
30.7" wide
45.5" long
33.7" high
i would make small changes to it, like puting hinges on the roof and puting in a nesting box and roosting pole. So in general do you think this would be okay for my chickens?
