So we have a cream legbar roo and have crossed and hatched out with hens that lay:
Brown eggs (varying from light to dark)
Green eggs (olive egger)
And white eggs.
What kind of egg colored eggs can we expect from them as they get older?
I thought:
Creme legbar roo blue x brown egg hen=...
So I bought a “gamblers dozen” eggs locally that can be the following:
Purebred cream legbar
Cream legbar hen x BCM Roo
BCM hen x cream legbar roo
Pure BCM
It was hens choice.
Hatch day was yesterday and I was able to see who came out of what egg and I was wondering if anyone can help me...
So these wild chickens have been roaming our neighborhood for years. Now there’s just one rooster, one hen, and one biddie.
He and the hen have decided they like my flock and visit all day long.
What is he? It has been driving me crazy
She’s all black, comb is black with some red tints I’ll...
One of my sussex has a larger redder comb than it’s hatchmate, one lonely curved tail feather but I’m still wondering if it could be a hen. I’d be happy with a roo.
This one was slower to feather in. Stands more upright, “heavier” than the other pullet, and just always is alert and alerting to...
So we had our first hatch 10 days ago and they were gold laced Cochin x dark Brahma bantam. Pretty sure both were roosters 😭
under another broody I have 3 eggs left- I assumed they were black sex link and dark brahma mixes but one hatched today and it turned out to be a mix of my red sex...
Has anyone ever crossed a Gold Lace Cochin hen with a OEGB rooster? If yes, what did your chicks look like?
has anyone ever crossed a Gold lace Cochin hen with a dark braHama bantam roo? What did your chicks look like?
2 possible baby daddies and we are just curious what the chicks could look...
Was in the feather foot bantam bin. Straight run. Trying to guess breed and gender.
Month old yesterday but so slow to feather in!
Our 2 others are almost completely feathered in!
My husband got these as a mix of feather foot bantams at TSC.
I was thinking the black one is maybe a gold lace Cochin and gold one is partridge Cochin?
thoughts?
Hello everyone!
So I have two speckled Sussex that are just shy of 12 weeks old (on the 25th) and I know they are difficult to sex until later on, but one of them has had me raising my eyebrow since the beginning. 1) grew big... really fast
2) the tail feathers are very very different than my...
While we picked up our chicken order at a local store, my husband decided he wanted to add a bantam to the mix. However they are "assorted bantams, straight run"... we have zero idea what she could be!
Pretty sure she is a she. 2 weeks old today!
Meet Bonnie the Bantam!
Any guesses what...
We have six 11 month old hens in one coop and we had recently had an egg break (I'm guessing) from lack of bedding in the nesting box necause one hen decided she doesnt like hay and kicks it all out...and suddenly ALL of them in that coop are eating every single egg. They are on Purina Layena...
I live in FL and currently we are in 90 degree weather and stagnant nights of 80s. Chicks are 4.5 weeks, 98% fully feathered (a few Down spots in their neck and that's it) and seem to be hot with the lamp on, even when it's raised up. They finally stopped panting and seemed more comfortable...
My crazy husband came home with 6 chicks 2 months ago- 2 golden nuggets, 2 Dixie rainbows,1 white leghorn, and 1 black sex link. All pullets! We lost one of the golden nuggets (it wasn't real healthy when we brought it home.), but the rest are thriving! One Dixie rainbow has branded me as her...
2 almost 3 weeks. We were told that it was a pullet batch, but the "chicken lady" at our feed store thought this one was a roo!
Has a crazy character to it so either way, we are thrilled but I do think it's a roo too. Comb is pretty red and his head seems rounder than the other pullets we have...
