    What breed snuck in my Meyer Ayam Cemani orders TWICE

    Ha! That's interesting - I never really looked into it, as we didn't want AC males but we got one anyway! So in our order of 10 AC female chickens we got 8. The male is stunning and polite and all the gals adore him and he's a lovely roo with people and my 2 little bantam roos he shares the yard...

    What breed snuck in my Meyer Ayam Cemani orders TWICE

    Sure! I'm not too bothered, I was interested to see if people saw it and just went "well obviously that's a (fill-in-,the-blank)" and I just wasn't aware. She's smallish, like a female Ayam Cemani and lays a similar small off-white egg. Much smaller than a leghorn and with none of the leghorn...

    What breed snuck in my Meyer Ayam Cemani orders TWICE

    I haven't yet, I'm curious what they'll say and will reach out. The Hmong are a fibro melanistic breed and the fibro Easter egger is a newer offering (I think) maybe they use the Hmong as breeding stock to cross with EE to get them?

    Yeah, I also received a fibro easter egger in my first order as well. Looks just like this!

    The older chick started out all black and gradually got in lighter feathers. Google images takes these photos and returns an image search result of Hmong, but there's a ton of variability in that breed. The younger chick had some cream feather day 1.

    What breed snuck in my Meyer Ayam Cemani orders TWICE

    Ordered 10 Ayam Cemani (already had an adult breeding group) from Meyer last year. They were sexed, day-old females. Except one wasn't black as she matured. Then this year, we ordered another batch and got ANOTHER of whatever that breed is. Hmong? Maybe?

    What are these lumps on leghorn chicks nares?

    We are hatching them here from multiple hens. Alas, I also purchased some chicks from Meyer and if I'm not mistaken I'm just starting to see the beginning of it on one of those chicks as well. The little mottled houdan has a slight swelling. They're in a different bin but the same garage

    What are these lumps on leghorn chicks nares?

    These 2-3 week old leghorn roos and pullets have been in our garage brooder bins in Texas. We do have mosquitoes and gnats but I'm fixing that. In my years of chick-rearing I've never seen this. Is it insect-related and then worsened by the other chicks picking at it or them scratching...
