I have a 6 week old amber ling hen and she is very sweet and allows me to pick her up. This is a new breed to me and I was wondering if their are anymore of you out their? Does anyone have some thing to share about their A.L.?

I have been introducing my two week old chicks to my 2month old chickens by allowing the little ones to come out during the day while it is warm. When it cools down I take them back in the house under their heat lamp. This is working out great. The older two seem just fine with the chicks in...

Your birds and lawn are beautiful.... I read a post on this site that talked about freezing bottles of water to cool the coupe. It said that the birds will sometime lie on them or next to them. I hope this helps. Janine

Chicken Man, thanks for the info. I have been told also that they are great layers of "jumbo" brown eggs and many times will have double yolks. My chick is only 6days old and not showing as much amber markings as yours yet. Its nice to see what I can look forward too. I also have a black...

I am told that they are big, fat, friendly, and good layers. I can't find anything on them. I am only getting one. The others I plan to get are australorp, araucana, and buff Orpington. They will be pets/ eggs. Thanks for your post. Janine:)
