We are wanting just something random and some broad breasted turkeys after our hatches next spring/summer and we are looking at this. Do you know the minimum number to ship? The cost of shipping? I can get between 5-15, and has anyone gotten this bargain, was it worth it? Did you get turkeys? Do...

I'm feeling like we've had a tough year birds wise, but my husband assures me that we really haven't. We've lost 4 adult hens that were some favorites in there, one fell from rafters, one fell in the old feeder, and two died I believe due to something they ate or maybe being egg bound but they...

I need to update my earlier post. The yellow chipmunk ones are actually silver x white rock and they're so sweet, I thought they couldn't be because I only have the one hen but nope, she had 9 chicks! And my 5 Sussex had the 8 others lol. The silver rock x speckled Sussex were the wild type and...

thanks for sharing, it actually really does make me feel a bit better knowing it does happen even if it's just a freak accident :-/

Thanks everybody <3 we've never had an animal so hurt it had to be put down. I'm going to have to decide now what to do with the cross beak and the maybe cross beak... I've never had any survive ... Of the 3 we've ever had but I feel wretched about it... Same reason I've assisted some hatches; I...

So my husband was mowing by the cockerel cages and we had 33 mix breed cockerels in there separated by chicken wire and there are 2 separate coops. While he was going past one spooked and jumped through the wires and the he's 5 weeks the others are 4 months, so at least 1/2 the size and he...

Interesting, so then what do you make of the very different looking chicks? Is it normal to get chicks that don't look a thing a like like that? And the yellow ones are filling in yellow I think and the wild looking ones are filling in white ...

Ok so this is a fantastic read. I have a question : I do hope this thread is still being watched by some chicken gene geniuses??!! Crossed my silver penciled rock with my speckled Sussex hens & I got this Chipmunk & wild type in a few shades from gray to gray/brown to red/brown So far...

Ok so for breeds that the hen is one color and the rooster another within that breed ... Are they different as chicks also as in being sex linked. Because I expect the little pullets to be white with black spots and the cockerels to be yellow with black ish 'spots' and of the 2 pullets and a...

Thanks :) we accurately sexed all of our previous ones so we are hoping these guys are just as easy :) hopefully I have at least 3 girls ;)

runt normal growth You can't tell too much but my thumb looks way bigger on the little guy there

They're 16 days old

i'm guessing girls? I'm guessing boys? They're 2/3? Weeks I can't remember off the top of my head it's been a long week... They're growing though. They're miffed here because I took off their leg bands that were keeping them not mixed in with the mix breed chicks we hatched. They're separate...

That's very interesting. I don't know how they would get worms. I hatched them here from clean eggs from here and they've never left the house... It's weird. This chick hatched just fine on it's own I believe, seems 1/100 is just runty around here if we wanted to work out some stats. We have one...

Hi! So I have 7 chicks that are getting close to two weeks, anyone willing to look at them and guess genders? I have such a hard time with waiting and I thought some great eyes might see something :)

So I have an obscure question: I keep a few brahmas but they're my favorite.., I have been looking for some buff laced standard eggs but the farm they had come from is no longer in business and no one who had stock seems to have any available, I just want eggs and am wondering if anyone has...

silver penciled rock over... Speckled Sussex? Or white rock maybe...

Is this about mixed flocks or mixing breeds to get mutts, I'm interested in both!

Hi, sorry no pips yet but be patient, you never know what pops out days later, I had a few hatch day 24 this year and I was just glad I left them in there. I found one yesterday hatches can take a few days but there's no saying that you can't get all late hatchers!

G good luck with them. Runts have in the past in my flock gone either way, I believe I posted previously about a Keet that never grew at all that was the saddest :( but I should show you our littlest runt, I think the other 2 will catch up but this guy is like you said 1/4 of the size. I...
