Why are you reporting this puzzle?

The Sebrights, which originated in the early 1800's, have the unique distinction of being the only chicken that is "hen feathered." This means that the male, unlike other chickens, has no pointed sex feathers in the hackle, saddle, or tail. The Sebrights are very small and are much in demand. The Goldens are golden bay and the Silvers are silver-white with both varieties having each feather laced in black.

I have 20 chicks on order, due to arrive tonight. ( I ordered them from this Hatchery, so feel entitled to use their picture. ) I'll drive to the USPS hub in the next county before midnight to save them an overnight stay at the post office.

Jeez, Heidi, if you hadn't had to look after the animals you could have stayed in bed and avoided all that. Your friend Robert is a lucky dude to have you there for him.

I have to use the 'cup half full' line ................ no one was injured, you got home safe and were a good friend.

I only lost power for five hours. That was a bad day Heidi.

PutterDutt

Good for you! It HAS to better in the morning!

I just had a horrible day. I took my friend Robert to the Doctor's, and had to wait in my truck, on a super hot and muggy day, for over 3 hours for him. Then he asked if we could stop and get him something to eat. His favorite place was closed, so we went elsewhere, where I had to wait in the truck for another half hour (I would have refused to stop if I'd known it would take more than 5 minutes). While driving him home, the transmission went out in my truck. Completely. I had to call for a tow truck and arrange for a rental. While the tow truck driver was trying to hook up my truck, a friend of Robert's was passing, stopped, and offered to drive him home. Once we finally got my truck loaded, and I got the rental, I drove home through a series of brief thunderstorms. As soon as I walked in the door at home, the power went out. No lights, no a/c.I called the power company and they said they had outages all over the county. It just came back on after an hour and a half. I'm going to go lock the chickens in for the night, and feed the cats, then go to bed. I quit.

@Surreal_Heidi
What a gorgeous little fancy, Heidi, I would love to have some of these running around my garden. Hope you take some more photos. 🐓

The chicks are growing nicely. They've been moved out to the 8' x 12' pen in the barn already, and have learned to roost on perches. It'll be a few more weeks before I'm sure of the breed of the free chick. It'll have to get it's adult feather coloration, but at this point it's looking like a Partridge Cochin pullet (female). That can change once it gets all it's final coloration. The young turkeys are in with them. They're a week younger, but much larger. With all the space they have, there's no bullying.

MarinaNephele

The rooster looks great. It is so kind of you to drive all that distance for the sake of the chicks..

PutterDutt

Sounds pretty! :o)

Surreal_Heidi

The more I look at the free chick, the more I now think it's a Partridge Cochin Bantam. It looked black-ish at first, but now it's more chocolate colored. The Partridge Cochin is a black and red colored chicken that looks like a ball of feathers.

Surreal_Heidi

Of course all chicks get the same treatment. I have a 100 gallon metal stock tank ready for them when they arrive. There's some pine shavings on the bottom for absorbancy, with a few pieces of newspaper on top of the shavings for the first few days. The newspaper makes it easier to teach them to eat chick starter feed, because I scatter some on the paper around the feeder, making it easier for them to find it. They have a heat lamp clipped to one end of the tank (they can move to the other end of the tank to get away from the heat if they want to) and a chick waterer inside. For the first few days that they're here, they get electrolytes added to their water to help them recover from being shipped.

Mischka

I can't assure it, since I'm a heathen atheist - but that's why I believe in heathen Heavens and not in the biblical kind. Lol.

Heidi, you might be perceiving a touch of impatience among your fans here, lol . . .

PutterDutt

Good to know my future is assured, Mischka.

Can't wait to see pictures of the new ones, Heidi.

Mischka

@PutterDutt - [shocked] - Of COURSE you will go to animal heaven! And so will I! It isn't based on the number of lives saved and improved, it's on the fact of lives saved and improved!

Otherwise, why bother to make Heaven at all?

Do you think that if Putter and Plum were called upon as character witnesses, they would give you anything but a perfect score??

-- Aha, Heidi has news! This is so fun. Do chicks all get the same kind of treatment? I mean diet, room to run, etc? Can you see them making friendships, or do you not have enough time to study them that closely?

Please tell us when you start thinking up names for them. That's always the second best part of new animals.

Surreal_Heidi

The chicks are here and healthy looking. The free rare breed chick is a feather footed black. My guess is Cochin, but I need to research other feather footed Bantam breeds.

PutterDutt

I do so hope you're right, Mischka. I can't care for as many animals as Heidi, but I do feed the birdies twice a day.

Mischka

What a fine, handsome fellow!

How exciting to have a score more, and how kind of you to spare them the scares of an overnight stay and a longer travel, by letting them get to know you as soon as poss.

We're all excited to hear what the bonus chick's breed will be!

There must be a special Heaven for People & Animals, Heidi, for people like you, who protect the innocent and donate to the hungry. That's a lot of eggs!

PutterDutt

Everybody wins. Nice.

Surreal_Heidi

That there is! And I always feel that they earn their keep by 1) adding joy to my life just by watching them, 2) helping control insects and mice, and 3) providing eggs for many people.

PutterDutt

Always room for one more! :o)

Surreal_Heidi

My excitement level is increasing as the hour to pick them up gets closer. I can either pick them up at my local post office at 6:30 AM, or drive 1/2 hour each way just after midnight tonight to pick them up in the neighboring county. That's my preferred way of doing it because it saves the babies a bunch of hours in transit. I'm also curious as to what breed my ''free rare breed chick'' that they're throwing in will be. I already have a few other Bantams running loose on the farm (5 Buff Cochins, 1 Blue Dutch and 1 Porcelain D'Unccle) so another oddball will fit in just fine into the colorful mix.

They are adorable, my sister just bought 4 of them.

Not a good thing. It is hard then to keep the chickens safe.

Watchman

I am surrounded by woods, I have those same predators, along with the snakes, wild hogs, and bears roaming around the woods, hawks, and owls that do enjoy chicken dinners. Right now those predators are hungry and have families to feed.

Thank you for feeding everyone.

That is quite a lot of predators. You do need to keep everyone else safe.

PutterDutt

Very nice to share like that, Heidi. And this is a very pretty bird!

Surreal_Heidi

Any eggs that I don't use for myself, my dogs or my friends get donated to our local food pantry. I'll be delivering 11 dozen eggs to them in about a half hour.

Surreal_Heidi

The Japanese Bantams are thick bodied little fellas, and have some meat on them. They probably weigh twice as much as a Sebright. And Bantam eggs are the perfect size for somebody with a smaller appetite.

Before I got this latest group of poultry, I spent nearly a year trapping raccoons and opossums in my barn. I removed, permanently, 18 opossums and 5 raccoons from my barn. Since then, I've removed an additional 6 opossums and 3 raccoons. Which is astounding to me since my barn is a good quarter mile from the closest woods. And the predators don't get to leave to tell anybody that there's food available in the barn.

It does look good. So many more.

Heidi, I have forgotten what you said you do with so many eggs.

Watchman

When I had chickens they were the Black Japanese Bantams, we would butcher the extra roosters and even used the eggs if I wasn't allowing them to hatch out chicks, or hatching them out in the incubator. I was feeding the wildlife and snakes, more than I wanted to. So I am taking a break.

Jumble

I never knew the bug thing about chickens, though I had 20 hybrid chickens, they were great layers, and we never had to cut the grass in the orchard.

Surreal_Heidi

Preparing Bantams for meat is too much work for too little reward. Better that they get to live out their lives helping you remove bugs and weed seeds.

Watchman

I have just two Bantam Roosters running around the yard. I tore down my old coops, and at the moment taking a break from having chickens. The roosters were given to me, for stewing meat. I decided to let them live.

Surreal_Heidi

They ARE beautiful little birds. Very active and great at insect control. I prefer using Bantam chickens to contol insects than using pesticides which kill indiscriminately. Chickens are particularly good at removing destructive caterpillars and ticks.

Watchman

He is beautiful, I like that marking.
