I have a blue laced red wyandotte pullet, a couple of easter egger pullets, a frizzle easter egger (sex unknown), and a few olive eggers (probably male). I also have 5 pet quality silkies available.
I'm in Madison, WI. Anyone interested in a couple of 9 week old olive egger cockerels? I can't have them in the city. They need to go before they crow! Their dad is a black copper marans. Moms are olive egger and easter egger.
Hi! I'm Kim. I've been keeping chickens for about 10 years. I currently have 17 chicks that are about 6 weeks old. We are waiting to see which ones are roos and have to go to other homes. I also decided to try hatching some so I have 16 eggs in my new incubator, due to hatch in 9 days. I'm so...
I'm so sorry you are going through this. Are you sure it doesn't have splay leg? That would be fixable. If not, maybe try calling an animal shelter/ humane society to see if they would put it down for you.
Ok, I've been doing some research. And I went to the house where I got the chicks. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think to get a splash colored chicken, you have to cross 2 splashes or a splash and a blue. There were only 3 roosters; a splash silkie, a frizzled brightly colored...
The body shape does look a bit like orpington. One more thing I remembered.... The woman I got the chicks from said (in her ad) that some of her hens were polish, silkie, "marians" and "icebars" which I translated as marans and isbars. Could this be an odd looking wheaten marans?
I thought she looked basically like a red sex link to me, but the color isn't red or buff, it's more like the color of milky hot chocolate or coffee with too much cream. There might be more of a pattern there, now that I'm looking at the photos again.
Does anyone know what breed she is?
Sorry for the photo quality. She is light cocoa brown, almost salmon. Not light red like a red sex link.
She's the one on the right, on the hay bale. For comparison, the one to the left is more red or golden colored (around the neck anyway). She's not mine...
Thanks! I know I still have a lot to learn. I was proud to be able to give some advice to a couple of newbies I met recently. I finally feel like I almost know what I'm doing. :)
