    Granny cant go 3 days

    Thanks Pro. I have a Welsummer that sounds just like Sparkles, although not nearly as friendly. Who needs a rooster with hens like that?

    What breed/mix are these?

    Afraid I don't have any ideas other than what have been suggested. Some questions, though... are the 2 with feathered legs bantams? or maybe bantam crosses? And the little red and white pullet by the water dish... is she rumpless? blue legs? Maybe some araucana? (American style rumpless...

    Granny cant go 3 days

    I saw you were on here when I got on and tried so hard to catch up. Fell asleep instead. Last night, Belle woke me up at 1 am crying to go out... had an upset stomach. Then I couldn't get back to sleep so watched a movie... Miracles From Heaven. Made me cry buckets and kept me up even...

    Man, that mower sure does like beating on you! Glad it didn't poke your eye out! ;) I was on in the morning, but didn't make it back here until this evening. Did a bunch of yard work this morning, waiting for a guy to come and take away our old wooden swing set play structure thingy...he...

    Update - Help identify chick breeds.

    Most hatcheries will only guarantee 90% accuracy for vent sexing chicks, which is as much art as it is a skill. Of course sexlinks and autosexing breeds are almost 100% sexable. I looked through Hoover's available chicks, and did not see buff Cornish, so Jaiden must be something else. What...

    Swap? I just asked you about swaps! You didn't say anything about going to a swap! Did you take your bantam cutie chicks? Hope they sell. You need the room! You will have a bator full when you get back!

    Yeah, Benny, I have something similar for my small yappy dog, rarely needed. Trouble is getting the neighbors to use one!

    Update - Help identify chick breeds.

    Where did you get these chicks? It helps to know if they are from a hatchery or may be barnyard crosses. Jaiden might be a buff Cornish. Looks very solid and stocky. And you said it is heavy! I'm not sure of Tsuki's breed, but thinking it's a cockerel. That's a lot of comb for such a young...

    Barking dogs drive me nuts, Star, but I'm surprised that it's Ridgebacks doing the barking. We had several when I was a kid. They rarely barked. Most I ever heard was when one treed a raccoon. It was an ugly outcome, and the raccoon lost. Hope you get some sleep. Rotten that the neighbors...

    Breed Confirmation

    You mean 7-8 months for this bird, yes? I think you are right on the breed. Several of the large hatcheries sell them, so while they are not very common, they are comparable in price to more popular breeds. The name sure is a mouthful! A BYC friend has one, and we are forever forgetting the...

    Barred rock experts....male or female?

    I agree with Alley. They look like pullets.
