UPDATE: All of our chickens are now sold. We had a guy come yesterday to get our Ameracuana pair and my polish and the other 12 are going to a friend of ours Friday. I will be leaving BYC since we don't have plans to get more chickens anytime soon. ETA: Does anyone know how to cancel a BYC...

The cochins are definately pretty especially my frizzle. We have a guy coming for the Ameracauna pair I have and my polish hen, he may be interested in the polish mix rooster too. DH is now thinking about keeping a couple of the chickens just so we have eggs we can still sell to my stepmom...

I think he is mixed with EE, but really not sure.

Getting out of chickens to focus more on goats. Have the following for sale if anyone is interested. We have 12 chickens, and 1 rooster for sale. 1 black turken hen ~ 6 months old, laying a pale brown egg (looks almost pink) 1 buff laced polish hen ~ 6 months old, lays small light tan egg 2...

I can do you one better! I've lived in NC my whole life and in my area my whole life (I'm 27) and don't know where tons of things are. Heck I've mapquested where some places are when someone mentions they are from a particular area. Or pulled up a county map to figure out where they are in the...

That does help. The young ones are only 6 months old. I thought they don't do a huge molt till they are at least a year old. I've noticed more feather loss on a couple of my EE hens (they were already a little roughed up from previous roos) and it may be starting on the RIRs a bit since their...

So maybe this will be a dumb question but bear with me I've only had chickens since last July and never had layers in the fall/winter months. The past few days the egg production of my hens has gone down dratically. It went from 9-10 eggs a day to 4-5 eggs a day. This is with even some young...

‎2 new layers in the flock today! Got a brown egg (which could be from 1 of 3 cochins or the turken pullet) and a white egg (which could be from 1 of 2 leghorns or the polish pullet). I'm figuring the white one is from one of the leghorns, not sure about the brown one though. The cochins and...

You should name the bug eyed chick Bugsy! I think a frizzled silkie is referred to as a sizzle. So I guess you have a sizzle.

My leghorn pullets are 16 weeks now. How soon should I be getting eggs from them? I noticed today that a few of my teenage pullets (various breeds) are starting to get the redder combs starting up. I know that is a sign of impending laying. I'm hoping to see some eggs from them all soon.

Well we went on vacation for 3 days for the 4th and came back to 3 more eggs missing from Maria's clutch leaving 1 egg for her. We left it with her and hoped she would make it to today. We had to stay at my inlaws house this past week because when we came back from our 3 day vacation we...

Thanks. He is neat looking. I love my little NN pullet. Can't wait till she starts laying.

BHEP: Do you have any pictures of your NN/EE rooster. I would love to see him!

Well we got a decent storm last night. Lots of rain which we needed and we have cooler temps today.

Hoping the storms get my way soon enough. We definately need the rain. Not only for the garden but for the cooling effects as well.

Found this idea on BYH, the OP found it on the SC thread on here. Thought it may be an idea for some of y'all to try. If you cant afford to run out and buy a bunch of high price stuff to cool your birds here's a cheap but effective option...take a shovel dig a 3 foot round hole 1 shovel head...

So I assume if you are selling the pairs and trios as day olds that they can be sexed at birth?

We gave the new broody the 6 eggs we got. We were going to set her up in a dog crate but there wasn't enough room in it for her to roam a little when she needed to stretch her legs so we went ahead and set her up in the broody box. She was ticked off at us for a while and even kicked the eggs...

So we just got 6 mixed breed eggs for our new broody to set on. We are thinking of putting her in a large dog crate to brood till hatch day gets close then move her to our broody box. We thought of just putting her in the broody box from the start but our other broody who has a 2 week old chick...

So it looks like we have another EE hen wanting to go broody. She will be a viscous broody too! It took DH and I both to get the eggs from her today (we know they are not fertile, our young cockerals are only just starting to learn to crow). I had to hold her head down with a stick while DH got...
