I will start from your first question and work my way down. I will attach a pic of Chicken Joe as well. He is the rooster. This is an old picture as he now has all of his feathers back. He has white ear lobes. Valid point with the Bantam comment. I have an Amberlink, Rhose Island Red, and...

I appreciate all the input and good ideas. I was thinking about farmer's markets or the flea market. I originally posted the chicks for 5 a piece with a discount on bulk purchases. The quoted part is what I have in the description currently, which has way too much length. "I have a variety of...

Do you think that the term barnyard mix is a turn off to people? Could that be one of the possible issues? Another I feel issue I think I have is my descriptions are too lengthy and complicated. When you say spell it out, you are meaning to clarify that it is and not just add the phrase straight...

Ah that might be my issues. As soon as I posted on facebook, and I mean literally as soon as I finished the post, it was taken down. What section are you posting to on Craigslist? I found a couple groups on Facebook a minute ago so we shall see. It's infuriating to me that I cannot get these...

So if I continue to breed him with his current ladies, while all of his offspring look basically identical? This is the second round of chicks, and so far all the chicks that share the same mother look almost identical. Does this mean that they pass down the same genes everytime since its with...

Ok, that makes sense. Thank you both for your help

ok, that is what I was thinking. By recognized breeds, I meant like would there be a name for them or would I refer to them as barnyard mix? Is there any way to tell which chicks would be OE and which would be brown layers without them laying eggs?

Hello all, First, thank you for taking the time to read this post. I have recently started hatching chicks, both naturally and in an incubator. I have had many chicks hatch, but all of the chicks look identical, if they came from the same mother. I was under the assumption that the chicks...
