    The Aloha Chicken Project

    OK. I will skip the barred chickens, basque, etc. I am not crazy about barred chickens and don't have any in my flock, sounds like way too much work to breed it out. May try the buff columbian if Iever find any lol. Here are a couple young, very young chickens hatched from my own barnyard mix...

    The Aloha Chicken Project

    I am finally making some headway. I got my breeding pen set up-2 SS roosters, the ones with the most white on them out of 4 that hatched last spring, 2 RIR hens, and 4 NH red hens. I had 6 NH hens and I have no idea what happened to the other two. I have about 100 chickens and they are free...

    The Aloha Chicken Project

    OK, thanks, I get it! I will have to figure out how to work my pens to do that. I have 3 nice coops and pens, but coop 3 is full of bantys. Coop 2 is the one I planned on putting the spotted chicken project in the spring and now just has some of my free rangers, mixed flock. Coop 1 has my free...

    What do you think about this rooster for spotted/Aloha chickens? I bought him as a younster from a swap a year ago after being told he was a splash marans. Later after I learned a little more, I am thinking he is a marans/leghorn x. He has very yellow legs. I have several chicks from him on the...

    No, the feed store didn't have any speckled sussex, BUT next year the lady who orders them told me if I wanted any specific types she would order them for me. so planning on making a list first of the year. Bad news about my chicks in the hutch tho. A raccoon came and ate the legs off 5 chicks...

    Just dropping in and catching up with everyone's progress. I bought speckled sussex eggs and the chicks are about a week old. Also have a couple buff orpingtons and RIR-hatchery stock from feed store. In the fall I should be ready to experiment and can ask advice on what to do. Interesting about...

    The Ameraucana Thread: Where everything and anything about the breed can be discussed (APA, Non-Stan

    Honestly, I don't know what they are. Maybe you all can tell? I had ordered B/W last fall and then there was a cold snap and their hens stopped laying, so I waited til spring to get them and she sent extra. They were labeled but I never thought to write it down or look at the unhatched eggs. Ten...

    The Ameraucana Thread: Where everything and anything about the breed can be discussed (APA, Non-Stan

    So excited to have my first Ameraucana chicks! They are from Ray_n_Debi. Right after I ordered eggs last fall there was a cold snap and her hens stopped laying. I waited until April to get the eggs. Then went to the post office 3 times the day they arrived. They couldn't find the box first two...

    Wow, they are cute! Well, no reason to reinvent the wheel! BUT I have a friend with some speckeled sussex eggs incubating and my other friend has some sussex mixes, so I guess I will play around and see what happens. My brother lives in Sedona BTW, but he is not into chickens!

    The Aloha Chicken Project

    I have been following this thread and really love these chickens. I read the "standard" you posted. I am a noobie pretty much as far as chicken raising, only been at it a couple years. I have a variety of breeds, mostly hatchery birds, and some bantams that came from feral birds. I have hatched...

    New Baby Chicks!

    I got my chicks from My Pet Chicken last year. Some Easter Eggers and an ? assortment. That is what got me started on this crazy addiction. Now I want to have rainbow eggs-eggs of every color. The chicks I have now are a mix from my eggs hatched by a friend and chicks from the feed store.
