I have a friend looking for good quality Black Copper Marans and English Lavender Orpingtons. 4-6 pullets or hens of each. Located about 30min south of Huntsville, AL but will travel some for the right deal. Thanks!
I have 7 Large Fowl Lavender Cochins that I'm letting go. A couple are 1.5yr and the rest were hatched this year. Coming up on laying age. Project birds. $15 each or $90 for all. NPIP AI #64-1959.
So...I was gifted 6 Turkey eggs (standard bronze)a few days back. They had sold the hen that was sitting. I brought them home and candled them but only one was good. It just hatched on monday, along with my own hatch of chicks. I am in Arab, 30min south of Huntsville. Does anyone near by have a...
What do you use to keep track of your records on breeders, pens, birth years, offspring, etc? Software? Spreadsheets? Can you please post your examples to help me out with starting a system?
So, I will be starting this year on actively breeding to standard on a couple breeds. When beginning, how many should I be looking to hatch yearly to give me the best to select from? We have 6 breeder pens (8x22ft ea.) and a large run (approx. 20x60ft. Planning to use for growouts) in the works...
I'm looking for a list of breeds that are barred (LF).
I know of
Dominique
Barred Plymouth Rock
Barred Holland
Campine
Braekal
Can you knowledgeable people add to it for me?
I know this isn't the best picture but I would like the more experienced to give an honest critique on her. I haven't weighed her, so can't give that information yet. To my eye she could be a bit more horizontal. Thank you all!
Aside from Greenfire, what reputable sources are there for the Bielefeld? I am located in AL. I have read that there have been some people who have wound up with birds that were suspected to not be true Bielefeld.
Are there specific and more obvious things that can be culled for in the first couple weeks? I hadn't seen this discussed so was hoping to get a little guidance. Thank you!
Edited to clarify culling for breeding. :)
I have fertile SC Light Brown Leghorn eggs. $10/dz plus extras may have at the time. I was wondering if there were anyone local who'd like these. I'd rather not ship, but can if you really want to. I would have to figure up the shipping costs though. I recently ran some in my own incubator and...
Wondering if there are any swap meets or shows in North to Central Alabama or Southern Tennessee? This seems to be no-man's land of poultry variety. Lol.
I am looking for a breeding age Welsh Harlequin drake. Doesn't have to be SQ but does need to be a decent one. Prefer silver over gold, but will entertain either. Let me know what you have and how much you want for him. I am located in Corapeake, NC and will drive 60+ mile radius to pick up. Thanks!
I have 16 golden phoenix chicks that need new homes. I can't guarantee their sex, but can make a good guess. Some are starting to show their combs. The oldest is about 6wks old. I am almost positive it's a pullet. The adult hens have the most wonderful and docile personalities. I am not claiming...
I have chicks that hatched out on the 4th and more hatching tomorrow. Also have another batch hatching the 18th. Going to need homes for these pretty babies. Limited amounts as I only have 2 hens. No shipping please. I will meet within a reasonable distance. $4 ea. I also have 11+ hatching eggs...
This little guy turned 4wks old on the 4th. His father is an EE and mom is a barred rock. He is very calm and sweet. I just can't have another roo hanging around. If you have any blue breeds, he could give you blue barred! He's obviously not a purebred, but will be handsome when adult. He even...
Okay, I've been playing around with that genetics calculator. Lets just say it's not my strong point , but I can learn. What does Ginger Red correlate to on this thing? How about Spangle? I see spangle on there but it looks like silver. If only it had a menu with all the common names. Oh and one...
This little guy will be 3wks old on the 28th. His father is an EE and mom is a barred rock. He is very calm and sweet. I just can't have another roo hanging around. If you have any blue breeds, he could give you blue barred! He's obviously not a purebred, but will be handsome when adult. He even...
