    Black Australorp x RIR or GSL

    I thought I would add a random update on the chicks. In total 4 chicks hatched. Two yellow, two black. The two black chicks are almost solid black (whereas their father looked more like a penguin as a chick). I though that was strange. The two yellow chicks are growing in their feathers white...

    Black Australorp x RIR or GSL

    That’s so cool!! I hope it’s a pullet, although my parents love rotating roosters every now and then to add more color to the flock, so they might keep it anyways. Thank you for contributing your time to my random question!

    Black Australorp x RIR or GSL

    Woah that’s super cool!! Chicken genetics have always seemed so interesting to me. I also expected them all to be black, because I just assumed the black would be dominant. Having almost completely white chickens would be fun. I hope they’re not all roosters 😂

    Black Australorp x RIR or GSL

    Hello everyone! We just had three chicks hatch in our broody-hen pen, and I was wondering if anyone knew what these little guys are! (I know NOTHING of chicken genetics.) We have one lone rooster so it’s no question who the father is, but we have three different mother possibilities. We have...

    My Baby Girl Just Started Laying!

    My baby girl Butterball was the last chick sired by our mean rooster Ramses before we ate him lol. She was a hen raised only child, so she’s a bit of an outcast, but I love her. Here are her beautiful eggs! I never expected this egg color from her! She’s 1/4 EE, 1/4 RIR, and 1/2 gold sex link...

    Does anyone know how a calico silkie like this could be replicated?

    I definitely would get silkies if it wasn’t for having a bunch of mean old hens. 🥲

    Same 😂. Genetics can get quite confusing.

    Does anyone know how a calico silkie like this could be replicated?

    Hello everyone! I recently came across this link to a Facebook page with AMAZING silkies 😍: https://m.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1097723890267962.1073741847.908716215835398&type=3 Does anyone know how this color could possibly be made? The lady who bred them is retired now, but said that...

    Hello everyone!

    Sorry for the extremely late response 😭! Currently, we have RIRs, gold sex links, and mixes of those with some EE due to an old RIR and EE rooster that gave us some chicks. We also have four black australorp chicks in a brooder right now. Also, thank you everyone for the warm welcome. I wasn’t...

    Chickens and Storms!

    Unfortunately it is dark out right now so I can’t get pictures and I would have to measure the coop in the morning (I forgot the dimensions.) I doubt it’s a mite infestation as only four of my thirteen chickens sleep on top of the coop. I do know the reason WHY they sleep up there, I just don’t...

    Chickens and Storms!

    Hey everyone! I was wondering what I should do with some stubborn chickens. Our coop is shaped like a triangle, so some of our chickens love climbing up the chicken wire and roosting on the top of the coop! This was fine with me until they continued roosting up there, even during bad storms. Our...
