Thank you! They are from Dragonfly farm out of NC. I bought them as hatching eggs last year. None of them have gone through their 18 month molt yet, they won’t be a year old until March so I’m hoping the splash Roo will molt to a bit darker red. I’ll be playing with 3 breeding groups this year...

Thank you!

here is some of my current flock.

All 3 splashes look to be Cockrills? Which do you think is a pullet? I’ve got to get better at identifying male from female with these birds!

Alright, I don’t want to be a pain but I’ve got some people saying I have mostly pullets and I had someone on here say they’re all Cockrills. They are now almost 10 weeks old. Is there a way to tell for sure before they start laying eggs? I wasn’t planing on keeping splash Roos and I have...

Hello all! So I’m looking for some of your expertise. I purchase 5 2 week old chicks 5 weeks ago from a breeder to try and better my breeding stock. I put them out today to start to acclimate them to the rest of my flock. Needless to say in broad daylight I am rethinking quite a few things such...

They sold BRLW last year and have had them one delivery so far this year. They do sell them, my local TSC received their chicks from Hoover’s Hatchery. I have 2 splash from the chicks that we purchased, 7 others are either black or blue, still not 100% sure, this one has white lacing though so...

Ok, I need some help everyone. My husband went and got BLRW from TSC so we KNOW these are hatchery birds and will not come close to the standard everyone is working towards. We will sell them for pretty back yard laying hens and may keep a couple for ourselves to help replace some of our laying...

Do you have experience with GLW as well? Care to share your input on my roo and hens I want to breed? I don’t have a lot of good photos of my hens so lll have to take some more, but this is what I have right now.

Thank you! Your input is very helpful! I am new to chickens, BLRW and breeding. I wanted to get my hands on some of foley’s birds but haven’t had much luck. I also tried to buy his online book but couldn’t get the purchase to go through and when I emailed him about it he never responded...

Opinions on my Roo and hens please? I plan on breeding them this spring. I have 4 hens but only plan on breeding 2 of them with the roo. My splash is small and has a deformity on her breast so I won’t be breeding her and my other hen I’ll leave with the rest of my flock.

Soooo I ended up with a broody BLRW about 3 weeks ago and I decided to let her sit on a few eggs. I made a major rookie mistake though. I did not mark the eggs under her and I did not check under her every day. I had marked on my calendar 21 days and we ended up with 1 chick that hatched on the...

Ok, expert opinions please! This BLRW is a cockerel yes?

So I finally got my first blrw chicks three weeks ago. One I know is a splash for sure the other two I was hoping were blue but I think they’re black as I haven’t noticed any blue yet on either one of them. I have a few pics of 2 of the three I took this week. They’re 3 1/2 weeks old and will be...

Does anyone know if there’s a way to tell a blr chick from a splash? I have a place locally that breeds blrw and I am going to get some chicks from him when he has some hatches this spring however I’d really like blr and not splash or black. Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly...

Hello all! I am new to BYC! After almost 3 years of bugging my husband I have finally convinced him to let me start a backyard flock of chickens . I have done lots of research and have decided I want a flock of wyandottes (he’s only going to let me have around 6 birds total). This is my first...
