I have 8 that are now just a bit over 2 months old. But I have a question about who to keep for breeding: The males all look large, but there seems to be a big variation in the size of the females. Do I keep the biggest, so as to have the biggest birds to eat when I hatch new babies, or do I...

Hi all, I have had these for just a year or so, starting with eggs and got just smooth feathered birds, a pair. Luckily they both are carrying the fluffy gene since I hatched 9 of their eggs and GOT 3 FLUFFY BABIES out of the 9 eggs!!! The fluffy babies are all black. The other babies are...

What is your zip code...so I can find out shipping cost. I have all SORTS of chickens...most with either Marans roosters or Swedish Flower Hens Roosters. Not sure if any would be pure except possibly the Marans, if I send you the darkest eggs.

deleted...referred to typo that I didn't know how to edit...know now and fixed. Thanks, HEChicken!

HEChicken, I had been having all sorts of difficulties, too, but a couple of the posts just before this reply ( see posts by Nifty Chicken and Ivan 3) did narrow in specifically on the problem: I had this trouble too and finally figured it out by experimentation a couple of weeks ago: Using...

Thank you, kstaven! It looks like now those posts of people are consistently sorted with most recent first. I think that was not the case before, and it made them less useful. This way I can at least search for recent mention of this or that. Also I have found that you can sort various ways...

My eggs arrived in perfect condition, and very very CLEAN eggs, and the most amazing color--I just love them. I wanted to give feedback on the good packaging and super clean eggs, but I can't figure out how on the new platform here...anyway, THANK YOU!

Henk69 and nicalandia, thank you so very much! I had not realized it was so widespread. I did see mention earlier many times about shanks but had not known it was ANY breed w/ yellow or white shanks--I had assumed it was just about the particular breed in the thread or else cuckoo. I also...

I keep seeing mention of the Id or dermal inhibitor gene, often in silkie threads or threads discussing sex linked matings and cuckoo coloration. But I'm interested in it in general and wonder if anybody knows of a list somewhere online of breeds/color patterns that have that gene. Or if it is...

I will bid $25 if eggs can be gathered to be sent fresh on Monday. Wed. is too late to get eggs here usually before the weekend. Can I send paypal on Friday or Saturday? thank you very much...hope this is the way I am supposed to bid!

Sold! Not sure what #1 or #2 mean though. I will PM you.

Hello again, Thank you again, elevan, for letting me know what "my stuff" includes. I'm pleased, because it is not something that I need to see, so I've kept it from showing up while I use the site. I've discovered that for some reason the pull down menus (at least under "forum") don't...

I'm interested in buying eggs from any of these birds, the Kosher Kings, Red meat maker, White meat maker (all from Nolls) Rosambros, Freedom Rangers , Red Broilers, etc. etc. What I'm trying to find is eggs from people who have kept a few of these meatie types back to try crossing with their...
