    Helping chickens out of their egg.

    Typically, helping a chicken out of the egg isn't such a good idea. However, if you found it necessary, then okay :) In my country we call it "split-legs", and making a crutch using a straw and rubberband can often help the situation, in about one week. You can see this video, from a member of...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Colloncas

    Interesting. In my country (Denmark) this breed (if I am correct) is simply called Araucana, the other is called "English Araucana", because apparently "English araucana" originated from Araucanas/Colloncas that sailors brought with them in their ships from South America. But some of the ships...

    Star Wars VS Star Trek

    Google it. It's awesome. Better than either imo (only watched original Star Trek series though). Anyway, a bit offtopic :-)

    Which breed to cross with Sussex?

    Thank you for answering. I am not going to raise the cross offspring for anything else than meat, only pure breds. I would like to continue breeding Sussex. This is also the reason for using Sussex as male. The reason for asking about laying capabilities, is that it would be a shame to run...

    Which breed to cross with Sussex?

    Thanks for the replies so far. Interesting, I have actually read about Indian Game in the past, for crosses. I would very much like to keep my Sussex rooster, since I migh want to start breeding or show :) Is it common to buy from hatcheries in the US? In Denmark we more or less rely on backyard...

    Which breed to cross with Sussex?

    I am looking to rearrange my flock, so instead of only having Silvergrey Sussex, I want two breeds (4 Sussex + 3???). I will still keep my Sussex ladies and rooster, but I would like to hatch more chicks for the sake of the meat. The idea is to cross two breeds and thus achieve heterosis in...

    How well does Dorkings lay?

    Okay, that sounds pretty decent. I am going to keep a couple of my Sussexes because one of them is almost like a pet to my wife :) What is the difference of breeder/hatchery stock? Breeder stock is that private flock owners and are hatchery commercial breeders? My idea would be to import eggs...

    How well does Dorkings lay?

    I am thinking about getting some fertile eggs from Silvergrey Dorkings coming springtime. They are SO beautiful. But how well do they lay? I currently have Sussex which lays around 220 eggs/year (according to several sources). How well will the Dorking perform compared to that?

    Hello from Denmark.

    Thank you so much for the very warm welcome. I am glad beginners such as me can get help and support from you guys :) Yes, the passion for poultry keeping is widely spread, which is also one of the reasons for all of the amazing breeds! :)

    Hello from Denmark.

    Hello :) I have actually heard of this. I don't know, it sounds cruel to me somehow, that he is not able to crow?
