I have a week long horse show starting sept 9th and need to place a group of my pretty Lemon Blues My handicapped sister can’t get easily to the pen where they’re kept and I’m afraid she’ll fall if she tries. One LB rooster and 4 or 5 hens all need to find a new home immediately. They’re...
Hi all. I picked up two speckled Sussex pullets (hopefully!) from TSC but one has something on the left side of her face. Doesn’t seem to bother her and she eats and runs around just like the other 8 chicks in the indoor pen Any idea what this is and should I be concerned about it? I’m pretty...
I had a very splaunlefged chicknhatch yesterday morning and immediately came here to find a way to help him Well the hobbles and setting him in a cup with soft footing under him worked! He can walk now and seems much better. But he’s still a bit splay legged. Should I put on new hobbles or...
I finally found an incubator that works for me and I’m hatching some chicks from my Lemon Blue bantam Cochins. But I have a puzzle. The rooster is red brown and the hen lemon blue, but from the first clutch I hatched of 4 chicks, I have what look like two lemon splash chicks. This shouldn’t be...
I’ve posted here before and gotten some really detailed help, much of which went right over my head. Lol. I have one Brown Red bantam cochin Rooster and one breeding pair of Lemon Blues. What color hens should I put with my Brown Red to eventually get More Lemon Blues? (I can’t find any LB hens...
I am apparently very incubator impaired. Lol I have a Brisnea Mini Eco and find it very hard to get the temp right and even when I do it changes all the time from 99-106 degrees. I also have a Magicfly Digital Mini and for some reason every time I take the top off to candle an egg or whatever, I...
Have a question I only have one pair of lemon blue bantam Cochins and would love to get him some more ladies. But I’m having a heck of a time finding any. Would prefer not to get hatching eggs. My rooster is Lemon Blue and I’d like to get lemon splash or brown red hens for him if I can’t find...
I’m trying to raise Lemon Blue bantam Cochins and having very little success. I started with a nice trio, managed to hatch a few chicks, then lost my adults to a coon who broke into the coop. My youngsters have been laying now for a few months. I’m TERRIBLE at incubating so have farmed out a few...
I have a small coop (actually a rabbit hutch) for a pair of bantams and I’m wondering if anyone sells nest boxes that I can hang on the outside (after cutting an access hole in the side of the coop) so I won’t always have to go into the pen to gather eggs. My rooster is a stinker and spurs me...
My "chicken partner" and I have a couple of nice frizzle Cochin Bantams from a show breeder and we need non-frizzled hens/pullets for them. Within 4 hours of Oklahoma CIty would be great so we could pick them up or birds that could be shipped to OKC. Will consider straight run chicks up to...
In search of good quality or show quality Bantam Frizzle Polish and Bantam BLRW chicks. I live in central Oklahoma and could pick up in surrounding states or have shipped when the weather warms up.
This 7month old Wyandotte cockerel started off with curled toes on both feet. Now after a couple of weeks he's much better but still walks in a kind of squat part of the time. Feet and legs look fine with no visible issues. His tore are no longer curled. He can straighten his legs and will...
This guy got sick over a month ago. At first just kind of tucking his head down against his shoulders. Then His legs got so weak that he could barely stand. I isolated him, dewormed him, and fed him nytradrench and all the good food he would eat. He never stopped ]eating or drinking but got...
