    Crested Cream Legbar hatching eggs

    As far as my attitude, there's no point in getting uppity about it. What's done is done. Getting upset is a waste of time and energy, not to mention unpleasant for everyone. I can only move forward, and I appreciate the help. I'm a hobby breeder, not interested in showing, but I do want to be as...

    Crested Cream Legbar hatching eggs

    She told me that they were 2nd and 3rd generation imports from England and sold me the quad for $100. I'll straight up admit it's my fault for not doing my homework more thoroughly beforehand, but I still feel let down. The girls do lay a pretty blue egg, and I think that they are close to, if...

    Crested Cream Legbar hatching eggs

    Yeah, I'm ready to kill someone... This is my first group of these birds. I bought the 4 of them from a local lady, who took total advantage. I've since been on the lookout for true CCL's. The girls look like they're supposed to (I think.) The rooster actually does have a crest, but he's not...

    What do I have?

    I got a couple of ducklings a few weeks ago at TSC, and one of them was solid jet black. Now, at nearly a month old, s/he is feathering in brown. When s/he was tiny, I thought s/he might be a Cayuga because of the bright, shiny solid black color, but now with the brown coming in, I have no idea...

    Please help me ID these ducklings

    Thanks, everyone! Yes, I'm leaning towards Cayuga on the black one because she doesn't stand up tall like a runner would...she's kind of squatty! lol I looked up Welsh harlequin ducklings and they sure do look like my baby! Looking forward to seeing them grow up (although at the same time, I...

    Please help me ID these ducklings

    Hi All, Just picked up these two little cuties at TSC and have no clue what they are! The black one looks much darker than my khaki was at the same age, and I am at a complete loss on the other little one. [/IMG][/IMG]

    Can trauma/fright affect future hatch rate?

    I have noticed something very odd this spring. Last October, neighbor's dogs nearly wiped out my entire flock. I came home from work to a nightmare...carnage everywhere and out of almost 50 chickens, I only have 6 hens and a couple of roosters left. This spring, I've been hatching (or trying to...

    Porcelain d'uccle thread

    This is my little pair. They are the sole survivors of a neighborhood dog attack last October....prior to that, I had 6. Now, I am trying to rebuild my flock from these 2, since they're scarce as hen's teeth (pun intended) around here. Little girl just started laying recently. I've got 2 of her...

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    I got her from TSC, so she definitely came from a big commercial hatchery somewhere. No clue which one, as the current employees at my local TSC are worthless. Cheers, Katja

    Ah, gotcha! Kind of a raptor look. Is that the "grumpy" look she's got going on here? LOL

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    She's got a single comb. I think what is throwing everyone off is that she is such a whacko color....it doesn't match ANY SOP for any breed! LOL She's special. I also got a PINK-skinned Silkie without a topknot from the same batch of TSC bantams. Whichever hatchery they got their chicks from...

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    Well, over on the Cochin thread, the Cochin people told me she's definitely not a Cochin! LOL Also, I have 2 mottled cochin chicks, and they look VERY different than this baby. God only knows what this one is, bless her heart. No matter what thread I post on, people tell me she's not that...

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    Hi All, Hope I can join in here! I recently had a Moment Of Weakness at TSC and somehow 6 little bantam chicks hitched a ride home with me. Chicken Math. Whatever. Anyway, I've pretty much figured out what they all are, and it seems I've got a little Brahma. This little fuzzball is the...
