Hi, after 2 years chicken-less after a housefire and emergency rehoming, we are finally ready to get some new hens. We are looking to get hens/pullets anywhere up to 1.5 yrs, but right now if I do chick's needing brooding I want to get breeds we really want, ya know?

Alright , im hatching peafowl eggs for the first time, any suggestions? I am using a brinsea eco 20, and I have put them in in batches. I have 2 eggs at 16 days, 3 at 10 days, and I have already collected up 3 more, hoping for 5 before I start more. I have an eco 40 I can use...

I had a clutch of 12 jubilees, of which I have 7 left. I had posted pictures earlier and was told that they were too light, German line. The chicks were born April 7th, so now just over a month old. Can you tell if the color is improving on the chicks yet or is this color not a clue yet?
I am sorry if this is not the right place to ask this but thought you guys might know.
We are hatching Cream Legbar chicks and we are trying to choose a couple males to grow out. Does it make a difference if the male is dark or light at birth in relation to proper color as an adult. We have...
Not sure how they do it for chickens, more familiar with rabbits. Is there a working standard anyone has set up yet? Something with written guidelines? In rabbits the presenter has to provide a written standard, which is then open to everyone and their mother to interpret as they choose:)
I posted these on the old thread. I didn't realize there was new one. I am working on calicos for myself. Around here the colors seem boring. I want something pretty.
This is my main rooster:
This is his son, which I kept as a back up until I can find another I like better. My roommate...
This is his son. I am going to try and find the person I bought the father from and get another roo. But I wanted an extra in case anything happened. I lost my jubilee rooster and then I was out of luck for a long time until I found another.
I think he is dilute? Blue calico? what do...
Can anyone tell me what they think? I bought the rooster last year. I have had buffs for a few year(all that i can find around here) What do you think? I think maybe calico(yes I know it is not a real color) but i figured I could have these pretties. Not sure of the color of the frizzle...
I have been looking around recently and think my rooster is a calico too. I bought him because I thought he was pretty. I figured everyone had buff and since I just have them with my peafowl and don't show them I might as well breed for pretty. What do you think?
I think the younger...

I am newer to chickens but years with rabbits. In the wild a mother rabbit will go out days after giving birth to breed again. She will abandon th e current litter a few days before giving birth to new litter (yes those cute little ones running around your yard are probably on their...
We have 2 geese that are laying eggs right now and we have some eggs ready to go now.
They were washed, bleached, blown and dried. Two small holes, one on top and one on bottom. Smaller hole on top.
