    First time selling a hen

    I miss typed, I meant OE for olive egger. She was very docile in my flock but she was hatched and raised within the flock with a broody hen.... lots of good advice. Thank you. I will learn from the mistake and be more prepared next time. I was already on the fence about selling her but I’m...

    First time selling a hen

    I’ve only ever rehomed roosters before. Yesterday I sold my first hen for $20. She is an OG already laying. Today I got a message from the lady who bought her that the hen was mean and attacking her chickens and she didn’t want her. She was over an hour away so she said her friend who had free...

    Question for ameraucana breeders

    Hello! I know it’s hard to tell just off a chick.BUT If you over incubated a bunch of ameraucanas had to let some go without waiting to grow them out what qualities do you look for in the chicks?

    Fighting Roos

    How much (if any) fighting can I tolerate between roosters? I have 5 1 yo roosters who all grew up with each other and they get along for most of the day until the evening they start getting in matches.

    Easter Egger vs ameraucana

    Thanks for the links! Appreciate the response. Unfortunately I don’t know the Breeder. The lady I bought them from didn’t tell me and at the time I wasn’t that interested.

    Thanks for responding! I have 4, 3 looks exactly like the 2nd picture and only the one has a larger comb. Fingers crossed for 3 pullets and a rooster!!

    4 week old marans

    Hello! First time hatching chicks! These are 4 week old Marans. I think the first one is a cockerel because his comb is growing a lot faster than the others. But does the second picture look like a pullet or is it still too early to know? Could they just be developing slower?? Thanks!
