Hello All,
We are currently looking to get back into Chickens. I'm looking for recommendations for REALLY BLUE egg layers. So far the Ameraucanas we got from a local breeder have been very disappointing (barely blue and they just started laying!) and the EEs we got from the feed store lay...
Hello Lovelies! My sister is getting into Chickens this year and is looking for 4 pullets with various egg color laying capabilities. Does anyone have any for sale right now? We have the coop and run all set up! But no chickens, haha.
Edit: Located near Manhattan KS or the Greater KC area...
Hey Everyone! Does anyone know of anyone in the area (east KS) that is selling extremely dark chocolate hatching eggs? I'd assume french black copper maran breed.
Hello Peeps! I'm back to living my hatching chicks again (for other ppl this time, but it's so much fun!). Would anyone close to Manhattan happen to have any hatchable eggs? My pops particularly loves Rhode island red and sex-link chickens (rhode island red rooster X rhodeislandwhite or...
Hello Folks!
I went down to our local co-op to see if they sold chicken food and they do! They sell Layina (from purina) for ~$14 and a crumble for ~$10 (50# bags). I bought the crumble, which is called "Game bird and poultry feed" it's 20% protein. My girls get oyster and eggshell, but...
Afternoon everyone! All of my chicks have been picked up and are at their new homes, Feels a little lonely. Haha.
I started keeping track of how many/what size eggs each of my girls were laying each week and so today I decided to crunch some of the numbers. Here they are!
Sexy...
Big hatch for me too! Had 11 hatch so far with two more pipped. These are my dad's replacement chicks, since he lost most of his chickens to a rash of raccoon and bobcat attacks. (He trapped 13 raccoons in a month!) He has since built a gorgeous new coop with much improved safety features and...
I have everything out in the garden! We got snow this morning too. :) Cabbage, onions, garlic, kale, peas, beets (planted seed) lettuce (planted seed), carrots (planted seed) and we even have our tomato plants out with banked milk jug covers. They all survived the snow just fine! :D lol. We...
@sharol Four chicks hatched! Two black, two grey. Two eggs still not doing anything (fully developed though!) and I have 19 more in Uglybator due Easter Sunday. Pretty good for eggs that got up to 113!
They make little ones for the ends of small braids and baby pig tails. They are stretchy plastic. I used them on my chicks this fall.
so need a fowl lay different colors?!? Buff AND white?! How cool! What is their lay rate?
They sell little girl hairbands at walmart that are essentially the same thing as these. Might be easier if you need them right away. Also, @chicken danz do you have any recommendation for a good white or buff egg layer? I would like one of each, to complete my colored egg rainbow, and the...
