They look like Bantam Easter Eggers. My niece has some that look like yours.

She looks just like my Black Andalusian hen, she lays a white egg.

Do roosters sing the happy hen alls right with the world song? I've got a 6 month old that I would swear is a cockeral and I've heard him sing the Happy Hen Song recently. I planned on putting him in the freezed, but not if he is a hen. He is a frizzled Cuckoo Maran/Barred Rock cross so it is...

Just remember anyone trying to sell something is going to put the best pictures of the item in an ad. Hatcheries are no different, they are going to photograph their best birds and post them in their catalogs. The chicks they send out may not be from those birds.

My 7 month old Olive Egger just started laying last month. She layed a gorgeous dark green egg then a few days later laid another one. She hasn't laid since! What's the problem? Do I just need to have patience? She is 1/2 Black Australorp (daddy) and 1/2 EE (mom).

Rumpless Araucana Bantams and then Black Australorps.

Someone asked about my Australorpington crosses, wanted to know if they were sex-linked. They are not. The roo from that cross started out looking just like the pullets but here he is now at 6 months. and what he looked like a couple of months ago.

Here are a pair of 8 month old Buff Seabrights for $15, you might see if they will ship. http://medford.craigslist.org/grd/1566621568.html

Run a free ad on your local craigslist that you want a roo, I'm sure someone has some available, or maybe fertile eggs that you can hatch out to get your own roo.

I crossed my Buff Orpington roo over a Black Australorp hen. I don't have pictures of the mom, but Black Australorps all look alike. I kept 4 of the pullets from this breeding, I call them Australorpingtons. I am breeding them back to another Buff Orpington roo. They are just now starting to...

Here are my Blue OEGBs. I have only recently bought them. One hen is laying.

Thanks, that is what I figured. And it is good to know that about all Blues.

I recently bought these Blue OEGBs and was wondering if they breed true or do they come in blue, black, and splash? There was a black roo in with them so I bought him too just in case.

Java's arn't that rare in Oregon. I know 2 breeders in Southern Oregon near where I live. Their fertile eggs are very reasonable priced too, $8 a dozen. Hatched chicks are $4 each from the lady closest to me, she has black and mottled.

I have a trio of hatchery Sultans, I got them from the feed store ( I heard they got them from Ideal). I started out with 6, but the foxes or hawks got a couple of the pullets and one died as a baby. I was so glad one turned out to be a boy! I had a little white Silkie hen I wanted to breed to...
