Welcome! Good job researching, you're going to be a great chicken mom! There is nothing more frustrating than losing a chicken to a predator! The rule is here if we ever have an aggressive rooster he becomes a roast! I got rid of my Bresse because they were the most aggressive of my breeds and...

Hatched a small batch today and the first 2 olive egger eggs hatched! They are a legbar rooster love a black maran hen. They hatched black with a yellow dot on their head. Do any of you who breed olive eggers with legbars and other varieties of Marans see this? I'm sure it's not an auto sexing...

Happy hatching! I hope it all goes well! It's all a learning curve, but it's an adventure in the process. Keep notes to remind yourself what works and what doesn't. I use the hatch a batch app to help me keep track of everything and there is a place to keep your notes on each hatch as well. It...

Happy resurrection Sunday! Be blessed!

For all you isbar lovers Walli Johnson is a top isbar breeder and in contact with the three top Isbar breeders in Sweden. He is going to import a new line of Isbars! He has a go fund me account going with some great benefits if anyone is interested. I can send you the link. Should be awesome...

I'm so excited, I hatched out 4 Barnvelders awhile back and decided to keep them. I had my suspicions but I double checked today and all 4 are feathering out as pullets! Yay! And here is my son Jordan holding his girls!

They are neat looking chickens! I love raising the rare breeds, it makes you feel like your making a difference keeping beautiful birds around. :) So cute! Sorry one was lost! It's so sad when they come and there is a dead one. Love BBS! I'm sure they will be gorgeous!

Sorry for the spelling errors. .. auto correct on my phone. I have never had bumble foot in my chicken, like I said this was told to everyone at the Marans breeders conference this last year during a presentation on flock health. Thought it might be an interesting natural product to add for...

Thought I'd share! I have been told that bubble foot is caused by chickens having their rooster too high. The rule I was told for every foot the roost is high they need that amount of get in room to fly down. Consistent hard landings less to bubble foot. Anyway, I saw this herbal product on...

If you decide you want blue Wheaton Marans I know a breeder that has some beautiful ones and they lay very dark eggs as well. :)

So excited! I shipped out chicks this weekend and sold local as well and my girls just paid for 2 months worth of organic feed this weekend! Yay! :D

I have bantam Barnvelders from Greenfire farms. They are gorgeous! P.m. me if interested. They are rare and you don't see them for sale often. I never see them for auction from Greenfire.

Yay! I got mine when he came out to check my flock. He also sent me an email with attachments for every states phone number for their rules and regulations and more.

You can always change that. ... ;)
