I’ve been breeding a Black Silverudds Rooster over a few of my Cream Legbar hens. Over the last few months this has produced Black sex-linked chicks which is what I would have expected. Recently I gave a few of the eggs to a broody hen. The chicks hatched today and all appear Blue….I haven’t...

Need advice. I have a sick 5 month old DSL Barnevelder pullet. I am fairly positive she has Coccidiosis. We have had rain everyday for the last month so the ground is constantly wet. I lost a young cockerel suddenly from the same coop only 3 weeks ago. My husband noticed her distancing herself...

Pullet or Cockerel?? I’ve been 100% sure this was a pullet, but now someone I gave the “sister” too is second guessing. So now I’m second guessing. 😂 what do you think about these two? Both 12-13 weeks old. I’m mostly looking at comb size and color because it’s so hard to sex by saddle feather...

On Friday night I discovered my favorite Silverudds Blue hen dead on her back under the coop. She was 1.5 years old. I check on my coops several times a day and she has always been fine. She had suddenly stopped laying eggs for 3 weeks, we looked her over several times and could not find the...

I have hatched two rounds of Welsummer (rooster) X Cream Legbar chicks. This should produce sex-links. The chicks I suspect are males have very small head spots compared to other sex-links I have seen. What would cause them to not be as defined? My stock is from breeders and not hatchery...

I crossed my Blue Splash Marans Rooster over Cream Legbar hens expecting Sex-Linked chicks. They all seem to look the same. Only one seems to have a tiny little yellow head spot. But so hard to tell. I thought the head spots on the male offspring would be much more apparent. Is there any reason...

I’m trying to figure out if “Blue Splash Marans” (sold by Meyer Hatchery) are the same as a “Splash Copper Marans”? Can’t seem to find clarification on the internet. Do they just go by either name?? I have a small flock of Blue Splash Marans that I would like to breed but worried the Splash...

Hey guys! We sell chicks locally and are currently brooding in tubs with thermostat controlled heat lamps. We do this in our unheated garage. We are looking to upgrade to a stackable brooder system. We’ve already decided against GQF as it states on their website they are meant for room temp...
