These look like first generation Cinnamon Queens. A cross between RIR and RIW, first generation created by Cackle Hatchery. These are all pullets. The roosters are a different color (sorry the color won't come to mind). To the best of my knowledge, Cacklehatchery is still selling first...

Mine are noisy! They start a concert at 5am and once they start they try to outdo each other. Call me crazy, but I like waking up to their concert

Once again I am coming to the more experienced chicken keepers My 5 wk. old Lavender Aracauna is showing symptoms of Coccidiosis. Yesterday, I noticed loose stool with blood in it. She's isolated now and crying for her 4 hatch mates. it's really heartbreaking. I've dealt with Coccidisis...

Now that makes sense! Thanks! I did tuck it together gently with a Prep H wipe. Keeping her slightly older, and way too inquisitive, sister away from it is the most labor intensive thing right now. She keeps trying to help the younger one get rid of this dangling thing. Such a help...not...

Hi Everyone... I have a Lavender Aracauna (yes, a true Aracauna) chick that was pipped and zipped about an hour ago. She was pretty tight in her egg and her pip was high on the large end of the egg. When she came out, I noticed a little red sac hanging from, what I though was, her vent. It...

Thought I would add pics of my roo's feet, too...

Hi, Eggcessive, Now, even the avian vet didn't come up with that! Thanks! We're NPIP certified in WA state, so I'll call the state office tomorrow. I'm happy to have isolated my roo on Sunday, not having any idea what was going on. We'd been gone the week before, but our farm sitter is...

Thanks! No, no other symptoms. The hens are spotty about laying eggs right now. A few are broody, some just lie down and act broody. Day b4 yesterday, I pulled everything out of their coop, power washed it from top to bottom, including roost bars. Sprayed bleach solution from top to bottom...

My Bantam Lavender Orpington roo's feet are very swollen. I started treating him for Bumblefoot, but my Avian vet said it doesn't look/act like it. Anyway, in picking him up to inspect all over, I noticed this nasty fire-red rash on his chest. It has yellow scabs on it and looks painful...

I would love this in any format compatible with iOS 8 (I think). I've been trying to get a good figure on costs, especially food, but either forget to document dates, or it changes by how old my chicks, hens and roosters are. I went from 10 laying hens to 85 chicks, hens and roosters in a...

Makes me think of "My Coop Runneth Over!"

I agree! 5 Stars from me, also! I have some of the most cutest, most beautiful cochins from Roslyn. My last babies are coming off the lights soon. They all have such great personalities and temperaments. I have between 25 & 30 babies from Roslyn,,,Never a broken or cracked egg and high...

I was pretty nervous with the first batch I ordered. The USPS doesn't handle the way we would. Roslyn wraps them perfectly, though and there never was a problem. Definitely look into Lucky Pickins. I have a really colorful chicken yard

Congratulations! Have fun with those little fuzzy butts!!!
