"May i please ask a question? Why are you getting rid of your hens? Just because they aren't laying?I have a few older hens and I figure they have earned their retirement----they will live for up to 10 years, I've been told. And I usually add new…"

"THanks for letting me know--I had a good place for her if she needed it..."
"Did you ever find a new home for your chick?"
"When the girls get hot I use the bottom of an igloo dog house, turned upside down and filled with water--just deep enough for hen feet. The girls really like a trickle of fresh water too. Occasionally, when a hen gets stressed I bring them in and…"
Brahama Rooster just started to crow so he really needs a new home. His daddy was a white and brown Brahama and his mom was gold lace Brahama. This rooster is beautiful--black with gold feathers and he glistens green and gold in the sunlight..…
"Thanks for the update--My Basque hen started siting 4 days ago and since the rooster is gone, I've had to find another source and there is a fellow that works at Western Ranchman who has promised to bring me a few eggs tomorrow. I am sorry your…"

Hello Dear,
How is everything with you,I picked interest on you after going through your short profile,I have something very vital to disclose to you,but I found it difficult to express myself here,since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on(brunoserra@outlook.fr)for the full details.
Have a nice day.
thanks

Well, it's not a total loss. One egg hatched in the late afternoon on the 5th. She/he seemed healthy, but I didn't want to say anything until I knew for sure, and now I know. It's a cute little yellow chick with one black spot on it's back and fuzzy feet. It likes to climb up on things. Oh, and it has a fine set of lungs!
She/he is eating well, but lonely. The other eggs haven't done anything, but I'll keep them going another day just in case. Theoretically they all should hatch within 24 hours, and it's been about 38, but you never know!
What did you say the breeds were?
