Thank you all. I will head to tractor supply in the morning and pick some up.

The Tylan 50, is that a cattle antibiotic? That's what pops up when I search for it. What's the dose for birds? Can it be administered orally?

Thank you. I know it's all speculation at this point as to what it could be.. I knew better than to integrate them immediately. Lesson learned. They are all very friendly and I hope to get them straight. I've never seen such big eggs as the 6 I got from a neighbor. They all look double yolked...

Hi everyone, . I happened to stop by my local feed store and they had "retired"gold comet and RIR hens. (I assume from an egg operation because all their beaks are dubbed). I figured to be nice, I'd give them a home and maybe get a few eggs too. (I also picked up 6 more hens from a neighbor...

Oh,i know chickens aren't faithful. I just thought because 90% of the time they were being bred by me EE rooster ,the bitties should be off him. Not the couple times the other rooster made contact.

An interesting note. ....one of the chicks from this flock is rumpless! :) I guess thats a recessive trait inhereted from the araucana in the Ee bloodline ? Ill try to add pics soon

I purchased a pair of pure blue wheaton ameraucauna hens at an auction a few months ago and paired them with my EE rooster in hopes of the offspring being high quality easter eggers. I kept them in a breeding pen together for about a month before the hens started to lay. about twice a week i...

heres a pic of my chicks that hatched from this batch. I had good fertility. Only 1 egg didnt develop. I had several that fully developed but didnt hatch. It appears that my dark cornish rooster did most of the breeding, as i have mostly striped chicks. Some turned out black with white spots and...

They could be EE.or ameraucauna. I have a lavender ee hen that looked like that. Do they have pea combs?

Hey everyone, ive always had a few easter eggers but after learning the difference, i decided to purchase some ameraucaunas. i went to a local farm auction and purchased two beautiful blue wheaton hens.they are a light buff/tan color with slate blue legs,full beards and muffs. They look like...

Hi guys, im looking to add some Lf turken to my laying flock but I'm having trouble finding some. Even the big hatcheries are out of stock.ive never seen turken for sale in my area. Any suggestions? Id like to breed them to my ameraucaunas and get a NN EE flock. :) Thanks

My rooster

Hi everyone, Last spring i ordered some ameraucauna eggs from ebay.well.... when they arrived I opened a package of olive green,mint green,and pale blue eggs. :( I managed to hatch and raise 3 to maturity. One lavender/red shoulder roo and 2 hens.one hen lays a blue egg the other is mint green...
