Quick question for the group. I have a breeder near me advertising "Italian Legbars," she says that they have a mottled feather pattern. Has anyone in this group heard of such a thing? Thanks!

Awesome! Thank you. My 4250 is at 102 and I am getting exactly 99.5.... I'm pretty sure that the plastic square got caught and did not allow my eggs to turn on my last model. Everything was fine when I went to sleep, but When I checked it in the morning the incubator had stopped trying to heat...

I have the 4250. Can anyone tell me what the black wire with the clear plastic square is for? It got caught in between the egg turner rows and caused the motor to begin over heating. Also, my internal thermometer (by the eggs) wasn't registering 99.5 (a couple of degrees low), so I tweaked the...

Have you guys had any luck? My daughters breed chickens and my eldest just asked me for some for her birthday (March).

Welcome! I am from the Erie area. There are a few of us from Western PA. This is a GREAT forum. Lots of super kind and helpful people.

Looks great!

Are your goats dairy, meat, or pets? Do you like owning goats? I have heard mixed things.

My Instagram is very original @loribischof lol! My posts are half farm and half cute kids! Had a great day today... Purplefoxglove's lavender Orpington rooster made it to my home today. He is such a handsome and BIG boy. I also had to re-home two small bantam roosters for my brother-in-law as...

Thank you... That makes sense. The SOP is on my Christmas list for this year. Until then this helps me to understand. :)

She is SO cute! The white is pretty though....

Glad to hear you think she is a female! I'd rather have her for straight egg production. What does "squirrel tail" mean and why is her color "horrible"? Not offended, just want to understand the breed better. Thanks!

19 week old Cockerel, Mr. Anthony.

I just wanted to share these pictures with Yayah! This is the American Serama rooster that I bought from her. My kids named him Bean. He is six weeks old and super fun to watch strutting around. My daughters were learning how to take pictures with mommy's "nice" camera, and even started the...

So, I believe that I have a 19 week-old cockerel. "He" is not crowing, but I do have an alpha rooster, so perhaps that is why this bird has not vocalized. Could you please look at these pictures for type and color? I would like to breed him, if he seems to be shaping up to the SOP. I will be...

I was teaching my daughter how to use my camera today and she took these of my 6 week old rooster, Bean. He is such a great little guy!
