It does sound like an Olive Egger cross and it sounds like one parent is probably a Marans. The other parent could be a Cream Legbar if it develops a crest or an Ameraucana if it develops muffs and/or a beard. But the other parent could also be an Easter Egger and then, who knows what it will...
3KillerBs, I have new facilities being built that will be able to accommodate all of them. I am moving to a place with 2 1/2 acres. I intend to move them in the groups they are already in, which is about 10. I have time to do this so I can move one group every day. It is only about 45...
Thank you. It seems like I always end up doing things the hard way. If I had been able to move in September, like I was supposed to, it would only have been 10 hens and a couple of groups of chicks that would have not been ready to go outside yet. The house people blame COVID, so I will...
3KillerBs, I need to move them all because I am moving myself. The house will be empty and up for sale after I move.
azygous, thank you for the detailed explanation. I plan to use a dog crate and move one group at a time using the back of my car with the second seat down. It is big enough...
Thank all of you for trying to help. A little more about the situation.
I currently live in Houston and will be moving about 35 miles Southwest of where I am now to Simonton.
First of all. I was supposed to move in September, and with that in mind, I hatched and bought lots of chicks. So...
I will be moving to a place with some land and will be taking my chickens. My question is, since I will be rearranging all the runs and coops, is it ok to just put them where I want them and let them sort it out? I was thinking that since they will all be is a new place with different...
You are probably right because if the original chickens came from GFF, what they had is Frisian Gulls. This is one of those times when DNA testing would probably be a good thing. Are those available?
I have experience with CL and usually the stripe has to be unbroken from the head to the body. You really need to see them together, but the females are darker and the stripe is a lot more defined. But sometimes the auto-sexing does not work too well. I just hatched six and I was certain I...
According to those pictures, I would say Campine like Overo Mare first said. The comb does look a little big to be a Frisian Gull, but it its definitely not a Deathlayer.
That could definitely be a silver Frisian Gull, but the laying of white eggs will not solve the controversy because both Deathlayers and Frisian Gulls lay white eggs. Other than the comb, they look very much alike.
I know that the Marek’s vaccine needs to be kept cold. However, I would like to know what is the temperature that it should not go over. The information that comes with the vaccine says that it needs to be stored between 35F and 45F, but then in the directions it says to store the diluent at not...
Her are pictures of most. Yes, they are crowded. I was going my house with property would be ready in Sep, but it won't be ready until January. The main reason I have to part with these.
