I have a nice Lavendar Orpington Rooster that reigns over my Orpington pen, since there are also blue, black and splash Orpingtons in with him what colors would I hatch out? I have two lavender hens in there also, but I am assuming I should get Lavendar from them. I'm not very well versed in...
I just love these birds, but have to downsize considerably before winter. They would stay if I had a place to keep them and I had more than 1 hen, but it seems that I'm mostly good at hatching roosters from this breed. I've already found homes for 2 other roosters.
The 2 males are not...
I'm giving these guys one more chance to find a home. The Gold Brabanter is one year old and has been very nice to us and his girls. We just don't need this many roosters. The Tolbunt Polish Mix (Tolbunt/Houdan/Orloff) is also one year old. We have 2 Tolbunt mix roos and we only need one...
We have a Standard Bronze hen that is a little over a year old. She's been very healthy, however, a few days ago she started to limp and yesterday, lost all use of her right leg.
I've tried to examine her and found that her left leg has strength in it but her right leg is completely limp from...
These 2 splash Orpingtons are 4 months old and I have a terrible time figuring out if Orpingtons are cockerals or pullets until they lay or crow. Of course, my almost 1 year old lavender Orp cockerel hasn't crowed yet.

I've been using the same member page for over a year and have edited it many times. Why won't it let me anymore? I can go to edit the page but when I go to save it, it says that this member page title is already in use. Should I just try again tomorrow?
I have a few cockerals that need to find new homes because I just can't keep them all. 2 Cucko Marans, 1 black Ameraucana and 1 Maran mix. Local pick up only near Duluth MN
I hatched this little guy with an assortment of purebred eggs - I'm thinking brabanter but it seems to have too much black. The comb and other characteristics look right but not sure
His beak looks blue in the first picture, but it is black
I have a Appenzeller Spitzhauben chick that hatched on Friday (3/2) and could not walk because of curled toes. Right away we tried to fix his toes with light cardboard and bandaids - which seemed to help a little. Next day he was spraddle legged - so we put a hobble on him. The chick are on...
My broody hatched out 8 Welsummer eggs 4 weeks ago. Not sure if it too early to tell their gender. I took picture of the 4 that I most suspect are roos.
Chick 1
Chick 2
Chick 3
Chick 4
Are there any tricks to sexing Welsummers?
Bought this rcom 20 and because I have and use the Rcom mini (3) successfully, I didn't think I needed to check the temp inside the incubator (display said it was right on) - I've tried to hatch two batches of eggs (first just shipped, but second had some of my own eggs in it). Nothing hatching...
I have two that hatched on March 20th - about 6 weeks old. They are both EE types. Any guesses to pullet or roo?
Quaker is black and white and a little larger than the plain white. Has yellowish feet.
Pineapple is white one with very little comb (like her mother) and green feet. Sorry...
Hello,
I am looking to get some Black Langshans. I love their beautiful coloring and personalities. Either hatching eggs (however, my small incubator only holds 3 eggs) or some chicks. I was hoping not to get them through a hatchery, but I've been unable to find them in Minnesota. Thanks!
This is Peepers - she was supposed to be a Buff Orpington (along with the other 9 that I ordered). She obviously is not. She lays big green eggs, so I think EE. Is she a mix (and what kind if she is) or is she just a EE?
I was getting quite a few eggs from my 9 BO hens and then early this spring (before snow was melted) I was getting next to zero eggs. Discovered that one of the chickens was eating the eggs (Ugh!) I tried golf balls - she pecks them but still finds the eggs too. I put her in solitary...
Anyone know if it is okay to raise ring neck pheasant chicks with poultry chicks of the same age. I have 5 little pheasant chicks and 4 chicks (2 Silver Lace Wyandotte and 2 EEs). They will be separated when they get older, but they are just a few days old right now. I'm new to the site and...
