    Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, light Sussex h.eggs and Chicks

    Do you still sell BLRWs? I know I'm years late replying to this, I didn't know anything about the BLRWs when you posted it and though maybe you still had some. Also, where are you from? and do you sell already hatched chicks? Thanks! Caleb

    Giant jersey chicken

    Ohhhh I see. I would think that the pecking order would be reestablished when you integrate them, but other than that, once the pecking order is established, you should be okay. Jersey's tend to be pretty calm and docile, but will likely make the top of the pecking order because of the...

Inbreeding causes issues...

    Restarting and Cleaning an Chicken coop

    I would look up how to clean a coop from mites, because mites can be some of the toughest buggers to get rid of, I would bet that doing a mite sanitation would clean it of just about anything else.

    Help with breed please!

    I doubt they are Mille Fleur. Mille Fleur typically have a reddish down mixed in with that black and yellow. I'm betting on Cochins. The black and yellow birds look like black cochins. The yellow one(s) underneath look like either white or even buff cochins. (I'm leaning toward buff, because...
