I haven't posted in a while, but I just hatched a few of my cream legbars and marans with a a lot better hatch rate then my last! (got the little brinsea!) One of my cream legbars hatched blind... (I helped it probably shouldn't have!) Do you think it will be okay?
I am looking at a new incubator. For those that hatch.. do you like brinsea or is the g.q.f cabinets better?
I am working on my husband to let me get this, for some reason he thinks I am going to go crazy in hatch... lol don't know why he would think that... =)
Plus I am hoping to offer...
Has anyone purchased anything from greenfire??
I am interested in Cream Legbars.. since they don't have the rhodbar anymore (stil want my rhodebar) but the DH said I could get one 'good' breed if cheap enough!
I have ordered a few times from Meyers, good experience both times working on another order now!
Chicks would be great, but I have one rhode island if a older one if we can catch her!
Thank you, she called Mt Healthy today and they told her to try corid for a parasites I think they called cockatoxima? she didn't let me know about any symptoms its been a long time since I have seen her set up even - I keep all my new birds in a certain pen until its time to indroctuce them and...
Okay guys I don't know much about chickens still yet, and there are a lot of diseases I don't know about.. I got a message from a friend who was supposed to pick up some roos over the weekend.. (which now I am glad that she couldn't, at first I was a little annoyed)
Ok so I need your and...
i love that idea, i might have to get my had to be creative on that!
I still have the roos, she told me today she couldn't get them until next Sunday.. part of me wouldn't mind if she changes her mind because they are pretty! I have them up in the rabbit hutch
there cage isn't very big, its just a cage sadly. I have one who was already free range hatch and is raising her 2 little ones. I want the silkie to be able to do the same thing but she hasn't been free ranged in a few months and I don't want to take the chicks from her to put with mine I want...
@ShayBaby if my girls quit going on strike I'll put more in the incubtor. I think the 4 that I had hatch could be mixes because I put them in as soon as I got them from different people! As soon as I get more I'll let you know =) Over the past 3 days its like either my free rangers found a...
I have 19 new babies! I have a Silkie and Marans now sitting on eggs. So soon we will have to be posting some for sale for the first time! These are Olive Eggers, Polish, Marans, Easter Eggers and I think I had one Silkie mix hatch out of this! Next tuesday should be the Silkies Hatch day and...
I took them away from her today 3 were bad and one looked like it might have drowned before pipping. i went ahead and put the guinea egg in the incubator and candle that tonight to see how its looking. i've noticed with the two she is taking care of now she won't leave her nest for anything. i...
We are new to having pens so i can start breeding, i think my silkie is wanting to sit on some eggs. 1) i just some some in the incubator 2 days ago and i think she started yesterday or maybe the day before... would it be good to put maybe 4-6 eggs under her? I think she has 2 right now. 2) do I...
I just had my first broody hen, I thought they were due around Easter, or around my other hatch date which would have been Sunday. She had 8 eggs under her 2 were not fertile... and it looks like so far 2 has hatched but somehow there is a Guina egg under her too! Should I give it a few days...
