So daughter is doing 4H project. We have done lots of research and I know this guy came from easter egger (he is about 4 months old) but appears to meet breed standard for brown red ameraucana.....now if he bred true more than 50% of the time and his offspring laid blue eggs this would make him...
Hello! I've been off this site for a long time and it has changed a lot. Can someone point me in the right direction to purchase hatching eggs and/or chicks? I'm looking for show quality / pure bred ameraucanas
Bought hatching eggs that were "mille fluer cochin" well I'm thinkin they were crossed with silkie due to how many toes they had the boys all had "bed head" type of feathers on top of there head and some hade like a rose comb thing goin on...3 out of 5 were boys...now one girl I would assume was...
So has anyone ever heard of a bearded cochin??
So I bought mille fluer hatching eggs then one of my own eggs from our cross cochin. I have one little hen that looks just like my other two pure cochins except she's got the toes of a silkie....which all the "pure mille fluer" cochin eggs I bought...
Alright so I've had chickens for about a year. Popped into farm store to "peek" at what they had in and ooops I needed a couple ducks from there "assorted ducks" bin.
Soo stinkin cute, but I have not a clue on possible breeds. Any guesses?
I can't figure out how to add picture using my phone...

Now here is my question - is any other bird that was exposed to it a "carrier" even though they show no symptoms? Or just the ones who get sick and recover. I was planning on culling if/as symptoms arise but does it still mean the others could...
So I just bid on hatching maran eggs blue and splash Marans and wheaten.... is there a color difference in the eggs or are they all that nice dark dark brown?
I have never had a maran so I just started looking around for them...I really wanted to add the dark egg to my basket pretty much.

Hello all... I need help deciding what color this silkie is. It (don't know if boy or girl) was sold to me as partridge...but partridge site says "no"
Is this a color or what happens when you cross two colors you shouldn't???
Without flash- kind of darkened the color a little
