    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    I tried hatching last year and it was terrible. :( I put 14 eggs Ayam Cemani eggs under a broody Chantecler and only 1 made it out alive. We called her Lucky (and she was #13 too). 10 hatched, but I found 9 kicked out of the nest box still wet. :( Lucky only made it because I happened to check...

    Thanks! I tend to pick breeds based on wanting a pretty egg basket. My husband wants funky looking breeds. Our Wyandottes and Chantecler were our first ones, which we picked up June 2017. The rest are from late Feb.

    Mystery chicken -- brabanter?

    Hello! I have a 20 week old chicken that was supposed to be a Salmon Faverolle, but just isn't. She was always smaller than the rest of birds her age and when she started to get her feathers in they weren't the right color. And she doesn't have feathered feet. I've been doing some research...
