    Deformed chick feet, missing toes

    All of my swedish flower hens (roosters) have missing toes. 😂 My horse stepped on them while they were grabbing grain he dropped. Took them off or smashed them so badly they had to be removed. They are sloooowwww compared to my other breeds

    What About Hilltop Farms?

    I ordered from Hilltop Farms in December. I just got my eggs yesterday. 12 eggs were left out. Patrick answered my email promptly and seemed surprised that the second box didn’t arrive with the first box. He also charged me $75 for postage! At that point i went to the post with the first box...

    Feather Footed Mystery Chick

    I was just ordering some pullets from Murrays and this little chick came up, looking very similar to yours. Rooster is below. This one is a Dorking. He doesnt have feathered legs and feet but yours more than likely is a mix. Actually I am going to order a few of these lovely birds.

    Feather Footed Mystery Chick

    It looks like my cream legbars. And with the feathered feet, I'd say mixed with a maran. I raised them this year and some were black and others had chipmunk markings. They made beautiful olive eggers.

    Moving

    Good morning! Has anyone moved long distance with their flock? We are moving to a different state and it will take approximately 18 hours. I was going to put my girls in a large dog crate and stop every few hours to give them food and water but my husband thinks it will stress them to much. Any...

    3.5 week Lavender Orpington and Black Copper Maran

    They’re still pretty young, but from the way they’re standing I’d say you potentially have two pullets.

    Tried to add something cool and the girls hate it

    I have both kinds. Afraid of a blade of grass out of place and the other half attack that blade of grass. They all have different personalities and some are so emotional it’s insane! The other day my 8 year old came in and said there was a weird bird on top of the house. My husband went and came...

    Swollen newborn duckling

    They are adorable. I used to raise tufted pekins and Campbell’s. Pekins have such a lovely personality, very friendly and cheerful. You’re doing a great job with little Mischief. But i’d seriously call the pair Double Trouble! Keep us posted i’d love to hear more.

    My grandfather had a rooster that was also a hen. Hermiphadite. Is your rooster proven?
