    Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

    Tickled to finally have some BLRW chicks in my coop! My first Wyandottes :) Hatched 6 under a broody, and am having so much fun watching how they feather in! Three are dark, two very light, and one is about halfway between the others, color wise. They hatched May 2nd.

    MYSTERY CHICK ID

    Any clue on breed (s) or what this bird may look like as an adult? It's a large fowl bird hatched from a brown egg on August 17, 2013. [/IMG]

    anyone using feed from "Patriot Farm & Bison" in Winlock?

    I use the 16% no corn/soy layer feed from Patriot (in Winlock, WA). I have good luck, and hens seem to like it. Good eggs production. I did not like the max grow they produce as chick starter. Too much fines and birds wouldn't eat it. I suggest trying one or two bags before committing to see how...

    Blue Ameraucana thread!

    If you're talking to me, nope. I do not have an Ameraucana roo. I just hatched eggs from some hens that came from a breeding flock. Maybe in the future...

    Blue Ameraucana thread!

    Yes. The blue color in the pure Ameraucana is like most others in that they do not breed true. Here is a nice little genetics/color helper I found in another thread. Note: it's roo x hen. Black roo x Black hen= 100% black Black x Blue = 50% black 50% blue Blue x Blue = 25% black 50% blue 25%...

    Brinsea Mini Eco: humidity & other things

    I ended up with only 2 fertile eggs, and both hatched! I did nit use a hygrometer, and only turned 3 times per day. Boy, was I surprised to get two happy, healthy, well formed chickies!

    Beginner's Hatch-A-Long

    I know, right?!? Love the blues! It's sad the blues dint breed true. Below is a good layout I found for getting blues from the blue/black/splash color birds. Guess I need a splash roo to cover my black hens! Black x Black = 100% black Black x Blue = 50% black 50% blue Blue x Blue = 25% black...
