I didn't realize I would be so happy with finding out how they grew up with other people. It's kind of neat, like sending these little missionaries out into the world to bring happiness and getting a letter back telling of all their good deeds. :) Though I doubt they are converting anyone to a...

Yay! I just found out that the first chicks I incubated and sold are making their owners super happy! A batch of Rhode Island Reds and Olive Eggers (with a pretty blue egg layer in there too). The olive eggers are much darker olive than my previous generations! I'm soooo happy! I've got...

I'm so sorry for your loss. :( We have a chihuahua who we think is on his way out. I'll miss him a lot even though he still is the out escapingist dog I have ever had. Bad hips, nearly blind, and three teeth, yet he gets out of a yard that my 1 year old puppy cannot. Congrats on the more...

Glad she is getting better! We had a chihuahua get bit just behind her collar. She lost some skin and some hair but she made it! sex links will lay sooner (agewise) than the easter eggers. That's my experience anyways. And as far as the skittishness, being chased by a child can make them...

Congrats on the baby chicks! I'm glad you are getting to have some little fuzzbutts. I have a brooder full of chicks that were under my broodies before we had to move them because of the floods. Lost a couple of chicks but not too bad. I'm pretty sure there was something wrong with them from...

Hi welcome to BYC! Guthrie? I've only ever said something bad about someone else's birds when the chicks were sickly. I'm not sure how they managed to get their chicks covered in mites, way underweight, and absolutely filthy. The chicks were less than a week old (from what he said, they...

Welcome! To the person who has chicks and ducks for sale, what kind? To the person who I was talking to about the phoenix I have. Well he isn't a phoenix. I just saw the breed focus of the week and he is most assuredly a red shouldered yokohama. I tried to get a pic of him earlier but he...

I tried the second part, I think I am getting some orlofs now. :) That sounds wonderful. I will have to wait until my incubator isn't so full. Between my eggs and my friends eggs, it's a little crowded. We gathered all the broody eggs from three properties so we could move the broodies to...

Welcome! Beware of the dangerous chicken math. I have infected many customers with this deadly disease. Once you have it, you will be gone to the chickens. :) I'm sorry. :( Always sucks to lose a little bird. How much are you french black copper marans eggs? I have aimed several people...

Okay! I don't always think straight. I'll post some pics tomorrow of the interesting birds I have.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom some years ago, the last time I saw her was my birthday, three days before she died. She told me I was pregnant. I was pregnant by no more than a week or two. That little girl looks just like my mom did. I hope that you can look back on the memories...

No not different laws, just people who don't follow them. I'd report him but I know he has hit on hard times. We worked it out. I am now the proud owner of a gorgeous Phoenix roo! He said it was the best he could get by trading some of his birds. Which on that note, does anyone know where...

I'm not sure anymore. I honestly forgot about it. :) I know I need to update my location. I don't think it was bacteria because they have been hit with aerobic water before when my sprinklers went haywire. I think it's some sort of chemical they use. They don't have a service that comes out...

Wow! Things have been busy here! Sorry I have not chimed in, in a while. So, Welcome to all the new peeps and people joining byc! Just wondering how everyone is doing with this crummy weather and what is the best way to dry out your open runs? We just had found out my neighbors septic was...

My first hatch birds are all claimed! Yay! They are growing nicely. I'm glad to see everyone is still doing okay. Wow, this is disjointed but I can't seem to make it flow together correctly today. Lol Anyways, my second batch is due out in a couple of weeks. Everyone set looks good a...

Doing good here, hovabator is the one I have. I have it in a closet, my closet chickens... Lol. Sorry a bit loopy tonight took some pain meds and I forgot how silly they make me. So far all the chicks that hatched are doing great. Growing beautifully in the brooder. Next round will be...

I'll bet they are all adorable! You now have a duchicken.

Mine was at work. And he doesn't care as long as I make sure it's clean before dinner is placed there. I've had everything from baby goats to baby chickens to baby humans on my table. I mean how else are you supposed to paint with feet when you need held up? (turned out to be a wonderful gift...

Thanks, it needs all it can get! Why yes it is. Where else would you take pictures of chicks? I was getting first weights, checking for malformations, and giving them a taste of the perk up chick recipe. It's just easier to do it on the table, then toss the cloth in the wash.

The last one looks rough, but it had a hard start. It was sticky shrink wrapped (I think I got the term right). Then after I left it to get out of the shell by itself (thanks to SallySunshine and her wonderful guide to assisted hatching) it ripped it's umbilical cord kicking out of the shell...
