    discolored wattles!!

    My hen was lethargic, had swollen eyes and discharge coming from her nares. Isolated and treated with tylan, probiotics, oregano oil, vetrx. Never had rales, or sneezed, no mites, not egg bound, no ascites. She's recovered from most symptoms, but is still more lethargic than she should be...

    Ayam Cemani chick growth

    She lived for about two months like that and never grew and then died. I was pretty upset as I had issues with most of the birds I bought from that breeder and I wasted a ton of money.

    Thanks! I guess we'll just have to wait and see what they lay!

    Olive Egger Roo genetics

    SO essentially if my blue layers are EE of unknown parentage there's no way of knowing if they are hetero or homozygous for the blue gene which means a certain percentage of their offspring may be brown layers. That being said are all ameracaunas homozygous for the blue gene? I had some blue...

    Olive Egger Roo genetics

    So how does it work when your looking to darken or brighten the green and you take an OE and cross them back to a brown or blue layer to get the desired effect? If it was all white or blue egg genes then only a certain percentage of chicks hatched from mixes like that would be OE- the others...

    Olive Egger Roo genetics

    Last summer I purchased 3 olive egger chicks, unfortunately the two hens were killed by a raccoon before they started to lay so I never saw their eggs. My OE roo survived and is now my dominant rooster fertilizing all my hens. He is a mix between a welsummer hen and whiting true blue rooster. I...

    Topic of the Week - Roosters, Yes or No?

    We love our roo. He's a beautiful mix of a wellsummer and Whiting true blue and is appropriately protective of his girls yet friendly and tame with us. He shares a life with a male turkey and two male drakes- no problems whatsoever. He makes sure new hens know who he is, he seems firm but fair...

    Dominique? I don't think so!

    I was told this 10 Wk old pullet was a Dominique, but her legs are feathered and she looks barred and laced! She had such a unique pattern I took her anyway- any thoughts?

    Buff polish cockerel?

    Yeah, I was 99% sure he was a "he". We have two other Roos and am not sure now what we'"" do with him. I do prefer how he looks to a hen so we'll see- 'aybe our friend with Wilkie hens can borrow him for a bit haha! The squatting he is doing is not the same as a hen submissive squat, he's able...

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    Awesome- the egg color looks close to what my cream legbars were laying. It'll be interesting to see what these welsummer/true blue crosses lay. And whatever end of the spectrum they land on I have brown layers and blue layers to cross back too with my little OE roo. This will be my first...
