Re: [CHICKENS-101] ebay refund

 

Yes it is good. Thank you.  Ebay made the decision and she abided by it. I am sure it is because of everyone's support.

Re: [CHICKENS-101] Incubating eggs

 

Randy, I also live in the Pacific NW and I have to add water all the time because the humidity in the house is non existent. If you are heating the area where the incubator is you probably don't have much humidity in there. The regular Hovabator doesn't work very well up here and because it went to 97 degrees that may have affected it too.
I am so sorry you lost most of your chicks. It is very disheartening I know.

[CHICKENS-101] Tiny chick

 

Tiny chick is mostly feathered now. Her dibbling is slightly bigger than her. She is still smaller than a new born aneraucana (ours are bigger birds though) the other is about the same size as a new born.

New development. As their tails came in. They got STRAIGHT UP!!??

I am not a bantam expert! But the have clean legs, one if buff, one has some kind of barring on buff. With tails that go straight up. What are we?? Lol!

We weeded our garden last night and my son brought these two out side for the first time. Everyone else their age has been out side for a couple weeks now. But they are so small, I keep them inside. They had so much fun! Chasing bugs, eating veggies, they sat under the lettuce plants lol!

But they spent most of their time right under my feet. I was so scared about stepping on one. The tiniest liked to perch on my foot if I would just hold still long enough.

Any ideas?? Who's buff with a tail straight up? Lot smaller than my bantam D uccles.

[CHICKENS-101] Re: has anybody heard that 5 million chickens died

 

As a large cockatiel breeder, I live in a rural city, and we have water outages here all the time, I keep water jugs on hand filled for when the city turns it off……………now I'm not a 20,000 birds in one cage/house………..problem but getting water to that many birds with no electricity…………..they would loose the small ones or babies in eggs.  They would loose the big ones when they run out of water. plus not being able to run fans.  Chickens drink way more than a cockatiel.  When it really gets hot, I spray water…………but all these things are something you don't really think about until you don't have that service. 

 

This would be a night mare for me…………..and I'm way smaller.  I wouldn't want to be in their shoes………..right now.  Or at any given time………..

 

I also have a garden, and I keep jugs of water around for the plants also when the city turns the water off, the city has turned the water off for about 5 days.  I had an electrical surge and that took out our power for 3 weeks.  But had back up on that…….you can always do an generator………but the water is a killer.

Re: [CHICKENS-101] Re: Eric, may I introduce you to Sandie?

 

I have had good luck with Southern States brand/ The rep in our area is good about answering questions about feed, etc.  Google Southern States and see where you can get it in your area.  Where are you located?  Susan

What I'm feeding is this........purina, I went looking for any other brand but nobody is carrying anything else. So it's what has to be.

I've tried the dogfood story and that worked good......

Oh and tonight they had spaghetti, and bread. I also had some corn that they liked it's not good for them in the heat......but this had bugs in it, and they loved the bugs.......

3 more weeks and they can move over to pellets but I'll have to go to texas for that.........and see if I can find something over there.

TS only carries purina. I'll have to try some other source.

[CHICKENS-101] Re: Green egg layers, asils

 

Hi Eric, I have pixs in photos under truly ranch. I started raising shamo 15 years ago in CA. and brought some with me to KY. In fact, I hauled a hen with a new hatch under her. She managed to raise all 8. I have had asils, in fact that is where the white comes from. I would brood those eggs to see what you get. Years ago, I had a friend given an egg which was suppose to be pure asil and it turn out to be a silkie cross. he was a total mess but one of the neatest cockerels I have ever met. He discovered the doggie door and would bring hens in the house to show them good places to make a nest. Carolyn

Mostly I raised and bred American Pit Games, creating two of my own unique strains that made me famous among the local cockers. I also had a few Asils for awhile and loved them and always wanted to get more.
