    Hatching Chicks In Ny

    I am located in Honeoye Falls, NY. My flock consists of Black Ameraucanas, Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, and Blue Copper Marans. I have a thing for the blues and reds so I am currently hatching BLR Wyandottes, from my own flock, Blue Ameraucanas and Blue Copper Marans. Tracy

    Help! My Rooster Lost His Eye!!

    My beloved BLR Wyandotte Roo lost his eye. He is healthy otherwise, I am assuming someone pecked it out.
