How does he look now?

Thant's funny! If got 9 girls that just turned a year end of Feb. One HAD to be a Momma at 7 months old so I gave her hatching eggs and of course they were 3 boys! Mommas sisters were very good at picking on the little boys after momma told them they were big enough to be on their own and at...

Except there are cases were Humans were not exposed to TB and tested positive for it but when studied were found to naturally be immune. It was in my Micro Bio class years ago so I don't remember all the details. I just know it can happen. and If it did un the US they would most likely unalive...

There is a shot for AI but the problem there is it tests positive when testing for the virus there currently is no distinction between them. So I wonder if that goes for the natural resistance too?

OOOO! That would be a good one or ones! But I'm not sure if that would happen without humans messing with their genetic codes to get that.

I love Genetics! I keep telling my hubs that I'd go back to school to study it if it wasn't for the cost (just got my student loans paid off) and the school that has it closest to me is the other side of the state (Clemson University). Of course I'd have to retake ALL my Bio and Chem...

Very interesting! I have a Lavender Ameraucana Chick coming in August.

I'll see if she can get me a better one of the hen's comb. She says its small. The hen just laid a med/large egg this afternoon. tan shade.

Polish have more of a poof on their heads than this little hen does which is why I was going with cream legbar

My Aunt-in-law has this chicken that wondered into her yard. She asked me my thoughts on it. I told her looks like a Crested Cream Legbar mix as she has dark legs. Can anyone help confirm?

Here is a link to a company that does egg color, lavender, sex, & recessive whiteI think.... https://iqbirdtesting.com/chickenbreeders

Hey not sure if anyone is still watching this thread. Anyway.... We are in the middle of a nor'easter and have gotten 3" so far and it's only 1:30pm. It's 57deg F it 17 Dec 2023. Tonight it will get down to about 45deg F. I'm saying all this because my hens are in the run and mostly...

Oh my! Unfortunately my girls all hatched Feb 27, 2023 so I'm not too sure they will know much! We were shocked that Momma hen went Broody at 6months old in August. So we got a bunny cage and put her in it and broke her.... well September 10th she was Broody again and the 12th I had found a lady...

I saw the sickle feathers on the last on today. He is hiding them under his big wings. The barred Rock looking one is hard to tell and wont let me catch 'em to get a closer look. My girls keep the 3 running away. So much for adding blue and green eggs to my basket this year!

Yeah, what I've been afraid of I've got 3 of them out of 3 eggs! ugh! Trying to talk my hubs into letting me keep 1. I have a friend that will take 1 as long as he behaves with children as she runs a school. And I'll still need to home at least 1 or more.

Most of their products have the same percentages unless its for a different purpose like meat birds, game birds, show birds, or layers. Our Feed store sells it. They have a locate store option and if there is one near you even better. But I agree you can beat the price and I like the all natural...

This EE is a Cockerel because of the red wings, the large legs, and the Sickle feathers in the tail correct? anything else that screams male? He's 10 weeks too, he hatched 1st but is the smallest of the 3 boys. Momma stated with them till they were 7 weeks old keeping them safe and warm with all...

Thank you! I thought I was going crazy. The lady I got the eggs from keeps acting like I don't know anything and getting me all confused. I had called these 3 all Cockerels at 8 weeks and she told me I was crazy and only 1 was. I'm sad cause I'm not getting blue or green eggs! :'( My hubs is...

Yeah, we know about Broody! Momma went Broody at 6 months old this past August so we broke her. She got 3 days inside and in my Office with me till she broke. Well she had other things in mind! She went Broody again 4 weeks later so I got some hatching eggs and here we are With my favorite being...

Sigh :'( The lady I got the hatching eggs from swears these 2 are Pullets. I guess I'm not going to know 100% for sure till they are 16 weeks and have all their feathers in. I'm going to be SO sad if they are all boys as I wanted blue and green eggs. And than I have to find homes for them as my...
