    Trying to decide which breed or breeds?

    Pretty much personal eggs and maybe sell chicks. I really just wanna get more chickens and I’m trying to make up my mind. I will be moving soon also and my chickens will be able to free range. So I was kind of curious how that would affect which breed also. That should help with food intake right?

    Trying to decide which breed or breeds?

    Thank you very much for the info. So I hatched some eggs recently from my mixed flock and have six chicks. I think I satisfied my craving for new birds for now 😂.

    Having trouble breaking up some poopybutt

    I ordered some chicks one time and got one chick that seemed to have an umbilical scab that would catch poop and it seemed we could never get it all the way off. But we just checked his butt everyday and kept the vent open like you are doing and he ended up being okay. I hope this helps.

    Cross breed what to expect?

    Thanks for your response. And Yea I figured that about temperament. I just wasn’t sure if the Cochin rooster would drastically drop laying ability in the chicks. But they should at least be pretty 😬

    Cross breed what to expect?

    I have 6 chicks right now in the brooder doing good. The rooster to them is a partridge Cochin and 2 of the mothers Rhode Island reds, 2 Easter Eggers, 2 sapphire gem/Lavender Orpington. Am I correct to believe that in general they should end up somewhere in the middle as far as egg production...

    Trying to decide which breed or breeds?

    Thanks for your response. I think you’re right about getting some hands on with each breed. I might just start another mixed flock made up of the ones I’m interested in and see what I like best. Chicken math

    Trying to decide which breed or breeds?

    I currently have a very mixed flock some decent egg layers and a partridge Cochin rooster. There are 11 of them. I really want another flock of one breed and possibly mix in the future. I’m looking for egg production and something that is at least slightly docile because my wife and her little...
