    Winter wonderings...

    Not frost, just dusty and scratched up plastic. I haven't wiped it off recently. Appreciate the concern though!

    Winter wonderings...

    I used to worry that my chickens would get too cold on winter nights. I recently found this one morning after a snow, and single digit temps overnight. I no longer worry about them generating enough heat to stay warm.

    New adoptees, any idea on breed?

    Just adopted these 5 bantam (4 hens and a rooster) from a farm that no longer wanted to keep them. Any idea what breed they might be?

    A truly Funky Chicken

    I wouldn't have thought so either, but my only two bantams are Sebrigbts. And this guy hatched from a small cream colored egg, not a brown egg like my cuckoo maran lays.

    A truly Funky Chicken

    Mama is a silver Sebright bantam, papa is a Copper Maran. What a funky looking little roo! The first one we hatched here at home.

    Who are the parents??

    UPDATE: As my little cockerel has grown, he's starting to show some flashes of iridescent green in his tail and at the base of some body feathers. Starting to think he may be fathered by the copper maran and not the barred rock. He's going to be a funky chicken for sure! Sweet little thing...

    Who are the parents??

    Those were my guesses too on the parents. Hope this one gets along with my Copper Maran.

    Who are the parents??

    Well crud. I was hoping that was not the case.

    Who are the parents??

    So this little chick is the first one we hatched ever. Here's the fun - who has guesses about the momma and papa? Here are the most likely possibilities... Papa: Barred Rock or Cooper Maran Mama: Cuckoo maran or Silver laced Sebright (bantam) are the most likely based on the chick's coloring...

    Hen or roo?

    Oh dear. Two boys in a flock of 12. Any advice on keeping both vs finding a farm to take one?

    Hen or roo?

    I think I may have gotten a second roo from Tractor Supply. Barred Rock, ~14 weeks old. Look like saddle feathers developing?Thoughts?

    Mystery egg poll

    Yes, that's what I meant by showing off. I collect eggs at close to the same time every day, so that's 7 eggs from 6 hens in 24 hours, unless the tiny one is the cuckoo maran laying her first.

    Mystery egg poll

    I have 6 laying hens (3 standard, a silkie, and 2 bantam). Also have a 20 week old cuckoo maran that hasn't started laying yet. I got these 7 eggs today. Who laid the tiny one??? Was it... A) a bantam showing off with a 2nd egg B) my cuckoo maran laying her first C) a quail who snuck in, laid...

    My (surprise) copper maran rooster has started crowing recently. Just sharing his pic and video for fun!
