Awesome! Thanks. The order was for Red Breasted Black Kraienkoppes but I bet a Silver Duckwing slipped in instead!

I recently got an order from Sandhill Preservation. In my order I received Shamos, Kriekenkops (Twentse Hoens), Black Leghorns, White Leghorns, Black Orps, Golden Campines, Silver-Penciled Hamburgs, Welsummers, and Muffed OEGs. This guy doesn't fit ANY of those categories!!! Unless it's some...

Mine try to eat our fat lazy cat. Poor cat can't even nap in the yard without a chicken trying to peck his eyes out.

Are the feeders damp? I wouldn't think they would be interested in dry food. I've never had that problem though.

I agree, have her give them treats.

Thanks for all the help! Hopefully I'll get some dark eggs out of her at least.

I just found a picture of a golden salmon marans, which she most closely resembles to me, but apparently they are pretty rare. I doubt Meyers would sell one in a collection, but I don't know. ???

I want some! Too cute!

What a gorgeous roo! Can't help with the kind, but man he's a looker.

I usually like to get my stock from breeders, but broke down and ordered a few chicks from Meyers. This one is "supposed" to be a Marans (from Meyer's Marans Collection), but I can't find a picture of one that looks like her. Any help is welcome! She's 13 weeks by the way. Notice the white feet.

Also check for worms and mites. That can really affect production!

Valbazen works great on my flock. And I don't use eggs for 21 days after. I feed them to our cat and dogs.

I had a cat that was constantly bothering my chickens. Nothing made him stop, he tormented them all day. I brought him in the house but he destroyed my favorite arm chair. So I asked a friend it in the country to take him and she did. I don't think you can deter him. Can you ask your neighbor to...

My black cochins didn't lay until they were 7 months. Like the OP said, it took awhile but worth the wait! Pretty dark brown eggs,and very regular. They sure go broody though... but they make amazing mamas! I let my cochins rear all the chicks for us.

Centarchid, that's really funny you said that because my husband is a criminal defense attorney and he was arguing the same point. I've pretty much tried and convicted that hawk, though! Thanks so much for the informative post earlier. I'm just glad I didn't witness the carnage or the after...

Thank you for the fantastic information! I have learned so much about hawks in the last few days. So today I let them out while I sat amongst them, just to see if I could see a hawk scoping the out. Sure enough, after 30 min or so, a massive red tailed hawk came swooping toward my lavender...
