NMSU Asian medicinal herb seminar ...
I believe the one in the picture is a roo! The back feathers that curve down instead of straight up makes me believe that those are roosters. No expert here.
I will sell you eggs. Northeast Heights. Tan, brown, green, blue eggs.
tami, you can tell if eggs are good by putting them in water. if they float, they are bad. if they stand up in the water, they can be used for baking. if they lay flat in the water at the bottom of the pan/bowl, then they are the best.
I was told by an experienced chicken hand that if the saddle feathers are straight and pointed it's a roo; if they are rounded and curved, it's a pullet. I was convinced one of my chicks was a roo (she was and is tall and rangy) but the experience...
sure. email me if/when your hens go broody.
yes, i did. he is off bridge street with a family a chickens. jen, if i have a sitter next spring, would you sell me some fertilized maran eggs?
Hi Constance. Did you find a home for your maran yet? Jen
I heard that they moult this time of year and stop laying while that process is going on. This is all new to me so hopefully someone else knows about moulting and egg laying.
I have one that looks like yours I'm hoping for a roo.
i've heard that flour or ash scattered at the base of the plant will suffocate them. i don't have squash bugs yet this year so haven't tested this out on live subjects.
Good luck placing your roo's. I have 2 as well I'm trying to find homes for ... a beautiful black Australorp and a shy Americaunus. So if you have any left over takers for your roo's, please send them my way. Karen
