I bought some flat barn red paint for my henhouse. I was just about to paint it..then I'm thinking chickens don't like red do they?
Do you think it would be okay to paint my henhouse barn red?

I'm definitely upset enough that I'd like to shout out her name but it just doesn't feel right. I will tell you that she is not a big breeder here and I don't see her selling anything right now or recently.
I truly believe that it was an honest mistake. However, she should have been willing to...
Oh & no, I do not have photos of parent birds. Seller told me that these chicks were hatched from pullet eggs from birds she got from GFF.
Yes, the seller is still active here on BYC.
Sadly, you see right that the one hen does not have a crest. Out of the 5 roosters, only 2 have crests. Oh such a huge bummer.
Moving on, it looks like I need some more CCL eggs or chicks!
Update.
The seller says "There's no possible way I sold you 4 hens and 2 roosters and they are 5 roosters now. These are auto-sex chickens which are easy to tell the differences as soon as they are born. There was nothing wrong with these chickens or their genders different than what I said"...
So frustrated. I bought 5 CCL's here on BYC in the fall, 4 pullets & 2 cockerels. Well, after caring for them this long I do believe I have 5 cockerels and only 1 hen. I also had a FGCM "Pullet" that turned out to be a cockerel. Sure changes my lay expectations for spring : (
I'm going to post...
They are Fancy Chick birds.
I had 4 of 12 eggs hatch and all were roos.
All were very attractive birds.
The darker one was the only dark one, the other 2 roos looked lighter like Jericho, pretty much looked just like him.
They are both sweet birds. Friendly, eat out of your hand birds.

My GCM's are 4 months old. I thinned the flock to just 3 (I do have one other hen that's 8 weeks old), a rooster and two hens. Well, I haven't been paying a lot of attention to them as I had a bunch of chicks and was preoccupied. Today I was sitting out in the coop with all of them and was...
I'm over run by chickens and need to thin my flock!
I had planned to keep my two FBCM's cockerels until they were 6 or 7 months and take my pick for my own personal FBCM breeding but as I said, I'm over run and need to thin NOW. Is it too soon to get an idea of which Cockerel I should choose...
My FGCM chicks are 9 weeks old. I have way too many chickens right now and need to let some go.
The idea was to keep them until 6 or 7 months so I can take my pick of the 3 cockerels for my personal FGCM breeding. The rest I would then let go.
But as I said above, I have way too many and need...
My 9 week old FBCM cockerel is crowing!! What the heck?
Sitting in my home and I hear this strange sound....walk on around in back and there he is, little thing, crowing this crazy sounding cock a doodle doo!
Way too early bird, way too early!
I have 2 Olive Egger cockerels & 2 French Golden Cuckoo Marans Cockerels available. They are 9 weeks old.
They have been lovingly hatched & hand raised by my 3 little boys and I and are so very sweet.
The Olive Eggers are from my EE hen covered by my FBCM roo. They have pea combs &
muffs.
