Hi There! If you had this list of chickens, with two roosters (a bantam calico cochin and a black copper marans) what breeds would you cross and/or hatch from? Who would you cross? I know the BCM with any blue egg layer will be an olive Egger - we have done that one last year and it was GREAT...

Hello There. I bought 18 fertilized eggs from a farm close to home which had black/lavender chicks. We hatched out 16 of the 18 eggs and now are trying to figure out cock or pullet. Photos below of a couple as there would be WAY to many going one by one. #1 black and #2 black #3 black...

Hi There! I just went out to check on my bantam flock and my Roo seems to have been severely pecked by one of his flock mates (he has 5 girls). Do these photos look like pecks? They have lived together since hatch. Hatched on May 1st.

Hi - I bought 8 new cochin bantams. (I found that they are my favorite breed of chicken (cochin) and plus their size (bantam), along with some amazing coloring (calico, Mille fleur, mottled and jubilee). They were hatched on July 2nd. So we are at the 10-11 day mark. I found this chart online...

I have an 8 week old bantam cochin that is ok, eating and drinking, running around and playing with the other bantams. But when I get close to her, her face turns RED. At first I thought she had a rash or something. No mites or lice. The others don’t have this? If I look at her farther away...

Hi All. I found my favorite breed of chicken: Cochin. Favorite color? Literally ANY. My mom heard of my partridge Cochin passing away (about 10 weeks ago now) and ordered me 2 more plus 2 Buff Cochins. I already have a blue Cochin pullet and black Cochin pullet. They are all very young, so...

Chicken Butt 😂🤣😂 Let’s see those Tuesday Tushys! 🍑🐥

My luck is… well, I have no luck I feel these days. This year with buying “sexed” chicks has been a big no-go.. bought from hatchery’s and still don’t have luck with buying “pullets. Last year I bought 50 chicks and 10 were straight run and still had all pullets except 1, very impressive. This...

1. Nigel - 12 Weeks 2. Abraham - 9 weeks 3. Lt. Dan - 9 Weeks Not pure - I’m guessing based on the combs.. I was hoping for at least 1 pullet.

Took some better photos today of some of the questionable chickens in our new flock. Let me start with, I bought all pullets, except for the Sebright Bantams - those were bought as straight runs. I have attached photos below: #1: Silver Laced Sebright Bantam (5 wks) #2: Black Cooper Marans (9...

Good Evening. I haven’t had the best of luck with chicks this year. I ordered most from a hatchery and think I have two boys. (One is obvious, it’s a BCM at 8 weeks and has a large comb unlike my others). But then I have this polish.. He was named Dwayne the Puff Johnson… thinking he was going...

Hi! I ordered a box of assorted marans from Hoover hatchery. They were all suppose to be female/pullets, but I think I have one that’s looking a little “boyish”. I’ve never had marans, so I wanted to ask! They are 7-8 weeks of age! This is the one that I’m questioning:

Hi Everyone. I have a bantam Silkie chick from Tractor supply (there were only two left, so I took them). I noticed the first couple days that it’s toes looked super funny, then it started to curl in… I tried doing the tape thing but when I taped them, I also noticed they were FULLY webbed...

Just got a shipment of chickens, but have lost one a day for three days. I’m afraid to loose anymore, so I added probiotic and electrolytes to water. Is there anything else I can do? I have a heating producer brooder plate for warmth and plenty of food and water. Not sure if this is normal to...

Good Morning Friends! I have an abundance of eggs from my flock that I just can’t keep up eating them all, so I made myself a little chicken egg stand with a lid and inside the egg stand wooden box, there is a cooler. How do you keep your eggs from freezing? Should I be putting something else...

Hi! I'm in NH and am looking for Black Copper Marans chicks or pullets. I'm also looking for olive eggers (; Anyone know where to find any? I know its a little out of season for chicks, but just wanted to make my egg cartons a little more BOLD I would rather not incubate if possible 😀😁

I have a Brahma making a horrid wheezing sound. She didn’t when she was roosting, but when she starts walking, she starts up again. Can’t seem to post the video of her here? Tried the bread with oil but she hates it and wipes her beak off … she won’t eat any..

Good Morning - I decided this year to start raising chickens. Most of my birds were “dual purpose” with the intention of processing in the fall or spring of following year. I did process one chicken 3 nights ago, and well, it didn’t go horribly wrong and was a rather quick process besides the...

Well… My chickens have been roosting perfect for the past 6-7 months… all of a sudden tonight I go out and every bird is either in a nest box, on the floor, on the droppings boards or dangling on the lip of the windows. I had maybe 3 birds that knew their “spot” and everyone else went rogue...

:thumbsup Good Morning! i have been getting more eggs than I can eat or use. I’ve created my fresh egg sign with the dollar value, but I was thinking of a “signature” for buyers to remember or come back to. i have my Amazon cart packed full with chicken egg stamps, egg cartons, fresh egg...
