    Silkie cross... crossed with black copper maran

    I have a black copper maran/silkie pullet and I'm wondering what color her eggs will be. Anyone collecting eggs from that cross and can tell me what color they are? Gray pullet in the pic.

    sussex crossed with silkie.......

    I recently hatched some eggs from my speckled sussex hen and black silkie rooster and was pleasantly surprised with the sex-linked trait. My chicks were born either looking like a chipmunk (speckled sussex) or solid gray or black (silkie) Can I assume this is their sexing trait, chipmunks are...

    Is there anything wrong with boiling the eggs I've picked up for 7 days straight after treating my hens with Wazine 17 and feeding them to the same hens?

    Hatched bielefelders and CLB and cant tell a difference?

    Ok good to know, I'm not going crazy trying to figure this out! I wish my egg supplier would have told me how similar these two would be at hatch. I'll look at the ears and see what color I find. Thanks for your help!

    Hatched bielefelders and CLB and cant tell a difference?

    We ended up with 20/23 Legbars and Bielefelders. I notice the white/yellow dot on top of heads of the cockerels but cant tell the two different breeds apart. Can someone tell me the difference when 3 days old? They all look the same to me. Blurry colors with light color dot on top of head.

    ameraucana quickly on the deline

    The more and more I read about the ups and downs of other's hens and assuming there's a broken wing initially, makes me think it's Mareks as well. My neighbor across the street had a similar situation with a hen except hers had been mauled by her dog and then after about 4 days of normal...

    Will my other birds contract it if they've been together since day one? They've also been eating and drinking from her dishes after I let her out with them. I'm worried
