I'm not trying to breed, I just have a question about a chick I was just given. The breeder said she thought she only had Cochin frizzles and silkie sizzles so she wasn't sure what breed my chick was. I know it's not a silkie, possibly a Cochin mix??? Peachy non feather legs and a straight...
I know my girl is a mix but she is beautiful! Mom was white with a few black spots and dad was a full blooded Bielefelder. She's about 22wks and no eggs yet.
5 week old EE, I only had 2 and the other was a cockerel so he found a new home. Crossing my fingers this is a pullet! Let me know what you think. Thanks
Oh, I didn't know about the staples!? That was just for mom and chicks, they will go into the big coop soon. Hope they are safe for another day or so and then I'll have someone move them for me. The worst problem I've had are mice, that's the reason for the 19g wire on the floor of the cage. As...
Ok, it's been a few weeks since I posted pics of my newest little EE's. I broke my foot so my boys have been tending to the chickens, I was so amazed at how much they have changed!! I went out with my big blue cast scooting as close as I could get on my scooter so I could get some pics. I now...
I tried to get better pics of the chicks but those little suckers are fast!! LOL
One is typical wild type and the other is a little different. Leghorn (adoptive) mom is doing a great job!
My Leghorn went broody and I gave her 2 EE eggs to hatch. They are a week old now, One chick has the chipmunk markings the other has strange markings, it's chipmunk on the back but brown wings and splotchy face. Both chicks had the same dad but different moms, the second chick had a solid white...
My broody Leghorn hatched out the 2 EE eggs I gave her. She is such a good Mom!! She's protective and teaches them to find food and tries very hard to get them to follow her up the ramp back into the nestbox. Some times they get it other times I help them out. Today they are a week old.
She went broody after one of her hatchmates died unexpectedly. Maybe out of he sarrow she went broody. Her other hatchmate started to molt and get very aggressive, sent her to live with a friend. Soon she'll have babies to take care of and won't be lonely anymore. I'll post pics as soon as they...
What are the standards for Leghorn's? My girl doesn't have a floppy comb, golden colored eyes with flesh colored legs. The breeder told me WL but her eggs are a little smaller than what I would expect from a leghorn.
