    What color(s) will I get from a comet/BA crossing?

    I think this is the right place for this question. I have a Comet roo and 2 Black Australorp hens, all hatchery birds, and their eggs are in the bator. What colors can I expect chicks to be?

    What breeds did I get? pic heavy!

    Yay!! I got my shipment of chicks on Wednesday, from Meyer hatchery. They are all doing wonderful. I ordered the all pullet rainbow pack that was on sale. Of course they don't tell you what they sent just that you'll get at least 5 different breeds. All but 6 have single combs. I know the...

    Dragging him down with me....yikes! what was that?!?

    So, I have caught this debilitating disease which causes an extreme yen for chicks; and sadly, I have passed this incurable disease onto my 11 year old son. He became extremely bitter and accused me of lying to him when TSC didn't have chickies in when they said they would. Luckily, I...

    Hello from Beaver County PA!

    Well, here I am about to begin my voyage to becoming a "crazy chicken lady." I have never had chickens before, just parakeets and now an African Grey named Groucho. I can already feel the stirrings of a sick obsession, as noted by the fact I spend hours on here readings posts...Oi. I know...
