    Opinions about these Marans?

    If this is the wrong place for this, lemme know :oops: 3 months ago I hatched some mail order BBS Copper Marans eggs. Out of the 5 that hatched, 4 are cockerels 🙄. They are all very sweet, and I’d like to keep one or two with the hope of getting some olive eggers out of my Ameraucana hens and...

    Keet Color ID Help

    So, I just hatched 20 keets, and I wanted some help IDing the colors because the last batch that I hatched had two that I would have sworn were both pearl grey, and one of them feathered out buff dundotte. I have a friend that specifically wants only dark colored birds so I want to avoid...

    Electric Fence Questions

    I just bought an electric fence charger, and I want to set up a temporary electric fence for grazing goats and keeping predators away from some chicken tractors. The instructions that came with the charger say I need 3 ground poles, 10 feet apart and at least 50ft from any underground metal...

    Wyandotte breeders, what do you think about this roo?

    So, I have this crazy old uncle-by-marriage who breeds just about every type of chicken imaginable. A couple months ago, my brother stopped by his house on his way back up from South Florida and brought me a BLRW roo. I don't know much about Wyandottes, so I'm wondering if this is a good roo or...

    Floridians with Lav Orpingtons?

    I'm not sure if this is the place to post this, but I'm wondering if somebody in central Fl is breeding (and possibly selling) Lavender Orpingtons? I've tried to get hatching eggs through the mail twice, and both batches were usps disasters... I ended up with one black split to lav baby out of...

    Incubator Crowding?

    Sooo.... I decided I needed some eggs in my incubator and did a little shopping on ebay. I found a listing that I NEEDED and bid on it, and also placed a few really low bids on some other listings. I figured I'd probably be outbid on most of them. Much to my surprise, I won FOUR different...

    Two Mystery Deaths??

    In the last two days, both of my Brahma pullets have died, so I'm trying to figure out what happened and what I need to do to prevent it from happening again. I have 4 laying hens, a tiny little Serama rooster, a big Black Australorp rooster, 2 adolescent hens (~4-5 months old), and 2 8wk old...

    Limping chick?

    About 3 days ago, I noticed my 5 week old Buff Orpington chick limping. I'm not really sure "limp" is the right word for it. My grandma would have described it as a "hitch in her get-along". She will sometimes take a few normal steps in a row, but mostly takes awkward hoppy steps, like she puts...

    Howdy from Gainesville, FL!

    Hey guys! I'm pretty sure I posted on BYC a few years back, but it's been a while and I think my old account was linked to an email that doesn't exist anymore, so I figured I'd start fresh. I think I created this account a few months ago when a friend was asking me some poultry questions, but I...
