    Rhode Island Red rooster crossed with white Crested Polish

    Hi OP I just hatched some chicks from the same pairing RIR roo with white crested polish. I’d love some updated pics. As you can see some of my chicks turned out a little different (lighter) than yours. I’m fascinated with the varied markings and patterns on my chicks. There also seems to be...

    RIR x Black polish chicks anyone else crossed these breeds

    So I set 8 of my neighbours eggs. She has a black polish with white plume and a RIR roo. 5 of them were clearly fertile at day 5 the other 3 weren’t. We had 100 percent hatch yesterday and ended up with these little cuties. So curious to see how they turn out! Wondering if anyone else has...

    Day 23 possibly twin chicks how do you know when assistance is needed

    I have a hen that frequently lays double Yolkers. My small flock is Isa Browns, so they have dark eggs that are difficult to candle at the best of times. But this egg seemed too full from the start from what I could see and based on what I can normally see in our particular eggs. It is an egg...
