    pavlovskaya?

    I just bought three Pumpkin Pavlovskaya from Greenfire Farms, along with a couple of Swedish Flower Hens and a Rees Cream Legbar. They added a few extras, so I now have four of the PPs in my brooder. I know they are medium birds who lay cream to white eggs. I too would like to know more about...

    Injured Hen... possible Stroke? Legbar problem?

    Arwen is a 1 year old cream legbar. Recently she stopped laying and was limping but getting around reasonably well. I thought at first I might have stepped on her foot accidentally as they all rush me when I enter their space -- looking for treats and petting. But she got worse. Her left wing...

    Jinx breed question

    Meet Jinx. I now assume this lovely bird is a he, but I have no idea of the breed so I'm not sure. I ordered six sexed chicks, four of which were specific breeds and two were to come from the rare breeds. Ida is a RIR named after my grandmother, Buffy is the buff brahma, Coco (Chanel or Puff...

    The Imported English Jubilee Orpington Thread

    I would LOVE them! I have tried several times now to hatch Jubilee Orpington eggs, but not a one has made it! I have tried several different suppliers with no luck. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, because I have managed to hatch other breeds quite successfully. Is there a fertility...

    Mystery Chicks!

    Hi! Can anyone help me identify what these may be and whether I have pullets or cockerels? They are Ramona and Beezlebub (whom I call Beezus), respectively brown and white w/black. Ramona hatched out of a white egg. Beezus hatched out of one that was a pale olive on the outside and light blue on...

    Is It Too Late For Hen To Hatch Eggs?

    I decided to get an incubator, but I will raise them up myself as no one is broody. I do have the space for them, and have raised from babies before, just haven't hatched anyone out. So far I've only gotten two eggs from the new hens, none from the Ameraucaunas.

    Is It Too Late For Hen To Hatch Eggs?

    I just got some new hens from a farm where they were with Roos. How long with they eggs they lay be fertile eggs? Could the hens hatch chicks this late in the year if I leave them their eggs? I should be able to tell these eggs apart since I got Black Copper Marans and Ameracaunas and my...

    Broody Rhode Island red

    Will chicks hatched this late in the year do OK? I just got a few new hens who were kept with Roos, so I'm hoping their eggs will be fertile and someone might sit on them. But I was worried it's too cold. Good luck with Rosie.

    2015 BYC Calendar - Your Pictures Needed!

    Henrietta is my biggest, fluffiest, and loudest girl. Her favorite treat is cherries. She taught me to never pluck a sleeping chicken from her roost. It is polite to wake her up first!

    2015 BYC Calendar - Your Pictures Needed!

    This is Chanel No. 5. Originally I had 5 Comet chicks named after female astronomers. I kept forgetting what I'd called her so she became No. 5, and finally Chanel No. 5.

    Hello and I got my first egg today!

    Thank you so much everyone for the welcome and the advice. I got my second egg today. This one was smaller, darker, and kind of rubbery. Here's a comparison with the organic large egg in my fridge. And my girls. [/IMG]. They are Henrietta, Odette, and Chanel No. 5 (Wilhelmina).
