Hi Everyone. I am pretty new to chickens and am wanting to collect some of my fertile eggs to take to a person who hatches eggs professionally. I understand that I can collect for 7 days, right? Where do I keep them? My house ranges from 60-66 degrees. Outside is about 30-60 degrees. I also...
I am looking for a few BC Maran pullets that lay nice dark eggs. Doesn't need to be show quality birds. Also, a nice quality SL Wyandotte. From a good breeder, not hatchery stock. Can anyone help me??? I am in Central CA, but I can drive.
Thanks,

She is lighter than a buff, but she is not white. Is there another color or is she just a light buff? Her name is Fifi, and I just love her. Yes, you needed to know that! Ha ha... actually, she was an "ooops" bird that I bought as a chick and was supposed to be a different breed. And now... she...
Stanley is from hatchery stock and has a rose comb, so something isn't quite right in his breeding! Not friendly so I have to get rid of him. I am in Central California.
Thanks!
This is my first time raising chickens. I have Buff Wyandottes I bought as pullets. They look the same, except this one started making funny noises when I gave them snacks yesterday and 'she' has darker tail feathers, (You can kinda tell in the photo) than the other one. Thoughts?

I am just asking since I may buy one. They have 100% positive rating with Ebay.
Thanks,

And what will she look like when she grows up? Any photos would be greatly appreciated. She was sold to me as a maran, but I don't think she is one. The breeder has buff and lemon blue cochin. She has tan lacing on her feathers on her back.

I know NOTHING about building, but my 12 year old son will help me. He had woodworking for several years. Anyway, when I look online some of the sites seem like a scam. I need plans that are VERY easy to use. Ones that spell each step out, give diagrams, list all the items needed. Super simple...
I understand Polish are a good white egg laying breed that are not flighty. But there are so many different types. If I am looking for good production and large eggs, which variety is best, or is the specific line you buy from what matters? If I buy a show quality bird for my son's 4-H project...
I have a very large grassy area I can fence in for the chickens, but it is a ways away from the shed I want to use as a coop. Is it possible to lead them to the grassy area every morning and put them in the shed at night?
Thanks!

I plan to use a large dog kennel for the hens during the day and a shed for them at night. The kennl is 6' high chain link. We do have owls and hawks as well as loose dogs. But would they attack during the day? I plan on buying only larger fowl. No bantams.
Thanks!
I don't care for the olive green eggs, but I like the truer pale green eggs. I know the true Ameraucana lay blue.
For a white egg layer I don't want something flighty or that needs to free range. Is there such a thing as a friendly, easy going white egg layer? When I reasearch the various...
