They are all lovely pullets. I love Cackle Hatchery chickens. You must let us know when you get your first egg. :)

They are lovely Easter Eggers. It would be unusual to find Ameraucanas at a feed store. Ameraucanas have a SOP (Standard of Perfection) , should breed true and can be shown. They cost much more than Easter Eggers and are normally bought from breeders. I would ask the feed store where the...

I have giant breed dogs and they can make some really huge tracks. To the op, I'm really sorry this happened and glad you found out what did this. I hope you can get some closure.

Do you have nylar in the UK? It won't kill insects/pests but it will put a hurting on them . It's an I.G. Regulator. The active ingredient is Pyriproxyfen. It prevents the pest from becoming an adult. I tried many things recommended until I bought a gallon of flea spray that had the I.G...

What a great article, Beekissed! I look forward to using your info to show my flock my position. Carrying a rooster around never made sense to me but your info really seems to "Speak" the language. Thanks :clap

:hugs:hugs:hugs Hang in there ,Thomas. You are the only one who truly knows how it feels to walk in your shoes. You made a caring decision that I have no doubt was difficult.

Thanks for chiming in, Moonshine. I am open to lessons as I continue my education. :) I thought I had read in earlier posts that using a solid roo x CL hen created headspots on the male chicks only. I know there are other color combos when used correctly for sex links.

Thanks for info. I was curious as to how Hoover's Hatchery was able to offer these. I'm so glad they do because I really like my 3 SG. I've went to the Czech Republic website several times and they offer some really nice hybrids plus have information about each one.

Hi Cerise! If I read previous posts correctly, the Olandsk Dwarf roo would have to have been a solid color in order for this to be a sex linked cross. Correct me if I'm wrong but all the Olandsk Dwarf chickens I've seen were multi colored.:) Cute chick though! Sorry Cerise. I tried to quote...

I'll have a rooster. He came out of TSC pullet bin,lol I had thought he was a Tetralink but he looks like the Amberlinks here. Anyway, so far he has not given me a bit of trouble. He seems mellow and as I watch him out of the corner of my eye when I'm in the chicken run, he appears to do the...

They certainly do love scratching around in the leaves. Good exercise for them

Sorry the hatch went poorly. They do that sometimes. I hope the next hatch goes well!

I hope the hatch went great for you! The ph. number listed for the link you posted is not a North Carolina ph. number. Did you mean South Carolina?

Very interesting about the silkied like feathers on these that hatched. This other thread has some info that may be relevant. Check out post #118 in this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/525146/the-blackest-ones-on-exploring-the-significance-of-cemani-mutations/110
