I'm in. I will be setting Easter Eggers eggs, Dominique, Black Australorp, Buff Wyandotte, and some other mixes. Can't wait for the new hatch a long.

My hen finally hatched some EE chick. The downs of four of the chicks is a silver/grey color. The other chick has very dark chipmunk stripes, and is brownish/red. The six one is a black australorp.

On average how much would it cost to get bumble foot surgery at the vet?

She wasn't limping, but I could tell their was pain because she couldn't put alot if pressure on it. What are ways to get rid of bumble foot

I will get better pictures tomorrow when it's daylight outside. What do I need to do to make it go away if it is bumble foot?

Tonight I bought six easter egger hens, and one looks like it has growth on it. I don't if it is a tumor or a boil or a birth defect. If its just a boil I was going to pop it, and spray some of that purple medicine stuff. First though I wanted to get some opinions to see what it is. Here are...

So I have seven chicks 2 silver duckwing, 2 bb red, 2 golden seabrights, and 1 ginger red. The only hen that I can tell of so far is a silver duckwing, and I think the rest are males. Any way I was wondering which one i should breed with to get pretty chicks out of. If you have any pics please...

Here is the other one.

Can anyone identify the breeds of these two little ones? Thanks in advance.[/IMG]

Since my rooster is a black australorp/ rir cross if I crossed it with my light sussex or barred rock hen could I get a sex link? The reason for asking is because I had two chicks hatch out, and one has a white dot on the top of its for head while the other doesn't. Although the other chick has...

I got him from a friend, and at the time all he had was black australorps, rir, and dominique. This made me think he was a sex link because most of his hens were rir and dominique while he had only two roostes. One black australorp and one dominque.
