Thanks Andy! Next question.... last year I sold a lady some eggs and one chick came out with one yellow leg and one green ( mother was ameracauna, father was a mutt) how is this possible. It was super cute ! Just curious how this happens and how often?

Andycap, yes the father still has brown in his neck feathers, so I believe you are correct. The blonde babies hatched with all yellow legs where as the black babies hatched with black legs. I also noticed some red color on some of the other roosters as they grew from my first batch. So if I...

I have two black Cochin from the same hatching stock I hatched them myself and this year hatched off some of their babies most were black but I had a few come out like this....... any thoughts what caused this and what color these will be?[/IMG]

I have a Cochin waving her head around in a circle. She is 8 months old I hatched her off and have raised her. A few days ago I noticed her lifeless in the cold coop with a purple comb. I picked her up and she had drool coming from her beak. So I set up a cage inside the house was told she had...

Is there not a swap schedule for brunswick???

I was told if the chick drinks water before they eat as soon as they hatch they will always do that. End result no pasty but. I tried it with my 2 babies and they are doing fine! maybe that is the trick to show them water before food? Good luck!

Thankyou She is in her own cage away from the flock, and has just been staring at the back of the cage..... It makes me sad to see her like this. I will run to the feed store again today and get her some wormer! Thanks!

I was told not to feed Bantam Chicks Medicated feed? is this true? I have a hen trying to hatch out a mixture of both and the guy at the feed store told me I could, so I am pretty confused!

Thankyou for your response, hopefully it wont spread to my chicks that are about to hatch.......... As of right now she is alone somewhere in the rain, and I cant find her, if she doesnt come back I am hoping she is in a better place and no longer suffering :-(

I forgot to mention she is only 1 year old!

I have a gorgeous Americauna Hen I named her Penny. Lately she has lost some weight, likes to stand alone close to my house her lower eyelids close and she sleeps standing up all day with her feathers fluffed out like she is cold even on 80 degree days. Tonight I picked her up to put her in the...

We need some swaps in the midcoast! Knox county

I forgot to mention I am a potter and can bring pottery to trade for two hens and a roo. So if that is what you have and what you want to trade for message me and let me know what I can bring for trade! I would love to have a broody hen to raise a few chicks none of mine are.... yet Here is a...

I already have a mixed flock of hens, Orps, Ameracaunas, barred rocks. I am looking for possibly 2 full grown hens and a rooster to add to my flock. Not RI REDS, pretty much anything else that will get along with my girls. I had a Orp Rooster but he was to rough on my girls so looking for a...
