Bump

Hi, I have a lot of out of date corn muffin mix and I was wondering if I could feed it to my birds? I have chickens, ducks & geese?

She definitely looks like the color nutmeg. Thank you to everyone who posted pictures. I have been reading up on golden layer 300s. Females come in different brown shades and can have eye stripes. I’m thinking this is probably what she is now since I think it would be more common that a...

I went to Atwoods today and found an oddly colored duckling. I just had to get her and of course I couldn’t get just one. Lol! she looks like a Rouen but instead of black and yellow she is chocolate brown and cream. For her friends I chose a properly marked Rouen (to compare as they grown) and...

All of the Cream Legbar breeders I’ve talked to are of the opinion that they should have crests as the British standard calls for it.

Well maybe you have time to read near 3,200 posts but I don’t. Which is why I posted the question in the first place.

Are there any crosses with a cream legbar that produce a sex link chick?

Wow I wouldn’t have thought Appleyard. They were in with others with very distinctive black Mohawks that I thought for sure would be Appleyards so maybe these are just lighter colored one. Thx

Pictures of 1 week old. This one has brown down.

Ok I picked these ducklings up at my local tractor supply. I have no idea what breed they are. They were in with Campbells, appleyards and or white and fawns / Perkins. One is 2 weeks old and the other is 1 week old. Any guesses to the breed? 2 week old is in the above photos and has black down.

Does anyone know what you get when you cross a cream legbar roo with a barnevelder hen? Will this cross produce sex linked chicks?

Ok, I saw my big boy Speckled Sussex Roo breed my little Egyptian Fayoumis hen and just had to put some of those eggs in my bator. The first tiny egg hatched yesterday evening. The little chick is so tiny but a live wire. Anyway, now that she is all dried and fluffed out, I can tell that she is...

^^^Just under 10 weeks.

Ok, so let me explain what's going on. I thought I would try some white egg layers and went with 2 Buff Minorcas, 1 Silver Spangled Hamburg, and 3 Egyptian Fayoumis. They are all 7 months old now. About 6 weeks ago, one of these chickens started laying a small white egg (about 5 a week) in the...

^^^One of mine did not grow well either. At 8 weeks she was half the size of the others. I didn't notice her being smaller than the others as very young chicks. I would have thought she was the mystery chick except she looked like 7 of the other WTBs pullets that she came with except for her...
