    This is what they look like at 16 weeks. Do you think they are production reds or Rhode Island reds?

    Black sex link thread!!! Pics and info!

    I did assume black sex links had to be black but the gold ones were cute so I went for it. By production red do you mean a form of Rhode Island Red?

    I just brought home six black sex linked chicks. I've raised a flock of auacanas, then I raised a flock of salmon faverolle and now I've got these. I'm hoping they are as sweet and productive as my others!

    Getting salmon fave rolled chickens to sit their eggs

    Ok I guess my game plan will be in late spring stop collecting eggs and see what happens. If they don't sit I'll have to hatch them myself. Thanks so much for all of the advice!

    Getting salmon fave rolled chickens to sit their eggs

    Thanks I didn't know that sbout silkies. I was hoping my hens would hatch the chicks for me so I wouldn't have to worry about integrating the new pullers into my flock. I'm scared the roo will be mean to them or the hens won't accept them. But the same would be true if I tried to add some...

    Getting salmon fave rolled chickens to sit their eggs

    Does anyone have tips for getting their salmon faverolle chickens to hatch their eggs? I have a rooster and five chickens that are great layers. The rooster is doing his job but the hens never sit on the eggs. This spring I would like for them to hatch a clutch. What should I do? Thanks!

    Ended Contest #4 Short Story Fiction Contest - 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong

    When my son was only a year old he loved hunting for Easter Eggs. He would toddle around and excitedly say, "chicken balls, chicken balls!" It was funny to watch him because he would overlook the eggs right in front of him and run towards eggs far away! To this day I think of Easter Eggs as...

    No crow collar

    I have salmon Faverolle chickens, one rooster and five hens. My roosters crowing is about to do me in. I can't deal with the lack of sleep any longer. So to save him from going into the pot, I thought I would make a no crow collar for him. I used 2" industrial velcro, and I attached a sock to...

    Intervention: Helping Your Chicks Hatch

    I totally agree. This chick didn't pip, that's wheremi must have gone wrong. Three chicks were born on Wednesday, two that night, and one the next day. I guess I should have waiting one or two days longer before getting worried about this chick. Next time I will wait for a pip before thinking of...
