    Is this khaki hen a hybrid? :(

    I believe this is day 6 of her sitting on the nest. There are a few chicken eggs in there, because I have stubborn, stupid chickens. Hahaha How do I take the eggs to candle, without upsetting her or scaring her off the nest? Part of me just wants to leave them and see if we have ducklings in...

    Is this khaki hen a hybrid? :(

    Yes, she does have irredescent green on her wings! Just on the edges. Underneath she is a lighter brown. She is a very pretty, sweet girl. Her name is Mammy. :) Thanks y'all. I guess my next step is to candle?

    The khaki-Campbell duck Thread !!!!!!!!

    Is this Is this hen, who is sitting on 20+ eggs, a muscovy/campbell cross? She was sold to us at 6 months old as a Campbell with 6 other cambells- khakis, whites, and darks. We have some drakes and hens. She is the only one that has gone broody, but I suspect one of my other campbells...

    Getting Baby chicks when I have a Flock already?

    Well, it depends on the protein % in your pellets... I feed meat bird crumble as chicks, and then I have a custom mix I have made (soy free) locally, that I will put them on the last few weeks (it would work now, but is ground small enough). Let me see if I can find a good chart... Here is...

    OH MY GOODNESS! All these babies! My dark female, Mammy Duck, has been laying eggs in the corner of the chicken coop. I discovered this morning she has made a nest and is covering her eggs! I think I have a broody duck, and hope to have ducklings! Any advice for having a duck laying...

    What are these 2 exotics? (added onto order)

    Received our order of 60 meat chicks today. They sent a lot of extras, and added in a few exotics. Any idea what they are? I am thinking cochins of some kind? =/ I am not sure the second isnt just a cornish cross, but with the dark stripe I thought maybe not? Thanks yall!
