So when I purchased my bcm I was told that they were from a flock that produces mutant white. I think I hatched one. Photos below. Can someone please explain this or point me to a website or article on them? My google searches are pulling up very little and what is out there doesnt explain...
Hello, I picked up 6 feather legged bantams from my local TSC. They said they came from Hoovers Hatchery. I looked over their list of bantams but I am thinking they have some breeds/colors not listed. The only feather legged on their list is buff/black cochins, silkies (none of mine have black...
I recently read a UK blog post about a crested cream legbar roo and White leghorn hen cross called a Sapphire. According to the post these birds lay a blue egg and have high production. Has anyone raised any? Anyone have any photos of the grown birds or their eggs? The blog didnt have any photos...
I purchased this bird from a local hatchery that sells both breeds at a day old. I cant remember which breed I bought, can you help me identify it? I know its supposed to be one or the other. Its 4 months old.
I have a 9 month old black australorp that has suddenly developed some worrying symptoms. She seemed fine yesterday but today she was just sitting by the water watching all the other chickens. I picked her up (which is odd because my chickens arent that friendly) and checked her over but found...

Hello, I have an 8 week old chick that was vaccinated for mereks but the vet is pretty sure that she is showing symptoms of it now. She has a paralyzed right foot but the rest of the leg is working well. She was on 5 days of antibiotics and today got a steroid shot. Symptoms started Monday 3/22...
This chicken pip'd at around 7pm eastern time last night. So it's had this hole for approximately 14 hours. It's still chirping very loudly but hasn't attempted to make the hole any larger. I know that it looks like it's in the large end of the egg but the air cell is on the opposite end. How...
Hello! This is my first hatch... here are my day 16 air cells. I have 11 eggs total. Here are 5 of them. I've looked at the photos on here and other sites but I'm sort of overwhelmed with information and I can't tell if my cells are a good size or not? The crested cream legbar eggs (blue) look...
Hello! This is my first time incubating eggs. I'm on day 2 and this morning I noticed something on the top (fat end) of one of my eggs. This particular egg had a very damaged air cell. It was in 10/15 bubbles and free floating around the egg when I candled it. I had these eggs shipped. There...
Hello! I was wondering if anyone can tell me which line of the cream legbars lay the bluest eggs? I am new to chickens so please overlook my ignorance on the subject. I recently ordered some CCL eggs and assumed they would be that beautiful sky blue color but mine were more green than blue. I...
