I live in southeastern Massachusetts and have 4 roos that I hatched out in August that need homes. I also travel through New Hampshire up to St. Johnsbury, VT almost every weekend so I can meet along the way. The roosters are two gorgeous Lavender Orpingtons, a French Black Copper Marans and an...
I got two Swedish Flowers from Twin Cedar and one was a roo. It took a VERY long time for it to be clear that he was a roo, while our FBCM was very obviously male almost from day one. Here he is at just under 4 weeks old. He was bigger than the rest and his wattles were coming in and his comb...
You guys are so great! All of the birds I have gotten from you have been very healthy, and you raise such great breeds! Our FBCM roo that we got from you is SO mild mannered. He has never even looked at anyone the wrong way. I was nervous about keeping a rooster, but he's been the best possible...
I think you're right about the breeds they have at Twin Cedar, but I'll add that they have silkies and Olive eggers as well.
I have an OE, Cream Legbar, FBCM roo, and a Swedish Flower all from Twin Cedar. The Legbar and the Swedish Flower are two of the flightiest birds in our flock, but I'll...
I meant to respond to this yesterday, I apologize!
When we added new chicks to our existing adult flock last spring I was SUPER stressed out about how to go about it. The solution that we came up with worked beautifully, and I will definitely do it the same way moving forward.
My boyfriend...
How did you come to learn how to do a necropsy? Are you in the medical field? I wouldn't even know where to start or what tools I would need... I'd love to hear more. (Hope that doesn't sound creepy, but I lost a hen a few months ago and I have no idea why. If I knew how, I would try to examine...
Obviously, I have not seen your chicks, so I don't know what stage of feather development that they are at, but I would imagine they are not fully feathered at 2-3 weeks. I have chicks in the brooder that are a week old today, and they only have wing feathers. Fully feathered would mean...
Haha! It's not! They're the same questions that I would have.
Let's see... The Cream Legbar is auto sexing so, no issue there. I would say that they are pretty matter of fact about the sexing issue. You get what you get, and you don't get upset. I got two Swedish Flowers from her, and one was...
Exactly! They allow you to buy your rental hens from them, but then of course you want to add to your flock so you buy some chicks from them... genius marketing! Honestly, they're very nice people and they're birds are beautiful. I have an OE, Cream Legbar, Swedish Flower, and FBCM roo that I...
I have purchased chicks on multiple occasions from Twin Cedar Farms in Acushnet, MA. The parent stock is there on the premise, and they have no problem showing you their birds and answering questions. Some of the birds are sold straight run, but I know you can get female Cream Legbars because...
As I understood it, it's a $10.00 MINIMUM. That doesn't mean they don't charge a higher shipping cost if you're ordering larger items. Scuzz butts!
I am SO spoiled by Amazon Prime that I pretty much don't buy anything online if it isn't through Amazon. First of all, if they can send ANYTHING...
Her first name is Kelsey. She lives in MA. But there's no Kelsey, MA.
Does anyone know of a feed store that carries Brinsea Incubation Disinfectant? Amazon wants $20 for 3 ounces. Brinsea charges $8 on their site, but it probably cost more than that to ship it. Ugh. Stupid shipping.
Edited...
PROMISE that you will post pictures after they hatch! (Where are you located? I might need to trade you a fertile egg or two for the Hatch-a-Long! I'll have OE's and FBCM's and then other random FBCM roo crosses!)
Does anyone know where I can get a Black Copper Marans hen, chicks, or hatching eggs local to the Plymouth area? I already have a BCM roo, but I'd love to have a hen as well! I know they're available at Twin Cedar Farm in Acushnet as that is where I got my roo, but I'd love to save myself the...
