TSC chick days start the last week of February. Even though you only want a few chicks getting 6 would be to your benefit. A chick or two may not make it or you could end up with more males than you want. Better chance at 3 females if you get the 6;-) Duck minimums at TSC are 2. Hard to tell...
Silkies are hard to sex for sure until a comb starts to come in or they crow. Yours look like good quality! They'll have nice topnotches and grand feet feathers according to that fluff:-) Congrats
That is so touching! If I had more of them I would give them to you! Chickens are wonderful creatures that touch the heart...especially Russian Orloffs;-) That was so great of you to do!:-)
:-) Russian Orloff males are the best males of any breed in my opinion! I am so glad they've stolen your heart like they did with me! I miss them but it makes me smile to read how they are doing.
Quarantine is to be expected from good poultry keepers so no offence taken;-) Thank you for the eggs offer in the future. I always had really great fertility and hatch rates from those guys. Their empty coop on Monday was so sad to see:-( I gave them wood ashes to dust in and they enjoyed their...
Special thanks to eledawv and minminme! Minminme- thank you for taking time to be a part of the train, helping connect special chickens with grateful new owners. I hope the vehicle clean out afterwards didn't take too long;-) Thank you both for caring so much about my...I mean now your chickens!
If anyone is interested just pm me- I have to get some chickens to new owners but would like to be able to get a bit of feed money. I have buff orpingtons- 2 sets of 3 pullets and a cockerel, 14-17 weeks old for $20 per set. Spangled Russian Orloffs- 2 roos and 2 hens that turned 1 yr in April...
People everywhere want females for broodies. I think most folks aren't able to keep up with what foljs are wanting but it will all depend on your direct selling area too.
It has always amazed me at how something will zone in on your property, become accepted by your family and then disappear again. Usually cats show up like they are suppised to be here then stick around for awhile before going on their way. Of course I don't live in a town so it is weird how they...
Who is the person with crested cream legbars for sale on this thread? The username was something like fakyoyo?? I know people that may be willing to travel to W. Va. for them.
Have you looked into Welp hatchery? Everything I ordered from them last year has turned out beautiful and healthy. I was really impressed and they sent extras too:-) A lot of feed stores, etc around your area order from Mt Healthy which hasn't had a good track record in the past two years for...
I've got the same circulated air incubator. Never even paid attention to the thermometer/hygrometer on the bator since it said for reference only. Bought an indoor/outdoor thermometer for $1 and a hygrometer on clearance for $2. I've had good hatch rates for the past couple of years- any low...
