Thank you! I will try and figure out how to set up single pens for the boys.

Hey everyone! I’ve been a poultry lover since I was a kid, but only got into poultry shows recently. As the breeding season finishes and I have my grow outs for this year, I am separating my breeding groups back into hen only pens and a bachelor coop for the roosters. However, the boys are...

Thanks in advance for everyone’s input! I have a BCM pullet that has brown tipped feathers, which I have now learned is mossiness! I’ve read that they have a recessive Wheaten gene. Wheaten Marans are uncommon in my country, but I happen to have sourced a Wheaten Marans rooster. If I was to...

Well this is a first. I’m actually crossing my fingers this chick is a rooster! 😂 I know he is a little young to be certain, but I thought I’d get people’s opinions. First is the chicks feathers, the second is a pullet’s feathers when she was around the same age.

It takes quite a few years to get a new variety (colour) into the Book, but I was hopeful a group was working on it! I’ll have to take some photos later today, they’re beautiful “lemon-y” coloured, my one pullet laid her first egg today! They do have a bit of grey/darker colour on a few neck...

Are there any breeders working towards a Lemon Pyle Brahma standard? Are there ones from other countries that could be referenced? I have some Lemon birds that I am happy with their structure but I am not familiar with the colouring standard. My APA SOP can’t help me with colouring this time sadly!

Thanks everyone! I sex my wheaten Ameraucanas by colouring, but I have a whole bunch to compare to so it’s more obvious than this lone guy! Crossing my fingers for a pullet!

I have a two week old chick who I can’t decide is a pullet or cockerel! I know you can tell by feathering at this age, but I’m not too familiar, I would appreciate everyone’s input!

I’m located in a country where Exchequer Leghorns are very uncommon, only a handful of breeders in the country. I am not too familiar with how the Exchequer reacts with other colours being introduced. Has anyone crossed Exchequer hens with a different colour rooster to introduce new genetics...

Looking for hatching eggs for the following breeds near the Canadian Border! -Exchequer Leghorns -Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Marans Hoping for a couple dozen of each breed, doesn’t need to be the same breeder. Thank you so much!

Thank you! Should I be keeping him in his little heated pen for awhile or do you think he can go back with his ladies?

Hello everyone, My chickens are kept in an old grain shed turned chicken coop, couple heat lamps, heated waterers, good ventilation, etc. however, in the past week or so my leghorn rooster’s comb and waddles have gone pale and I think he may have frostbite? Could it be something else? He’s...

Not the best photos, but they are the chickens at the front of the second photo. I’d be awfully sad if they weren’t as that’s what I was sold! They’re lovely birds regardless.

I have a quad of Lavender Orpingtons. I incubated several of their eggs to test fertility and I have several silver chicks and then one dark coloured chick. Is this a black Orpington? How would this happen? Is it just baby fluff and she will lighten up? Are one of the hens/ the rooster split...

I put some Cream Crested Legbar hen x Lavender Roo eggs in the incubator and the first chick hatched out black with some very minor light markings on its stomach… how do I tell if they have a black head spot? 😅
