Rhode Island Red hens and a Pure White Rooster (looks like a White Leghorn to me) and one from a black hen that I think is Araucana since she lays green eggs. (same rooster)
Very cute pictures and they give me some ideas for my setup.
I candled the eggs tonight and all but one was dead. It looked like it was very early in development. I am incubating it along with some chicken eggs.
Thank you! My black chickens are my favorite! I need to look up what breeds they are. **** good layers, lays a pretty green egg that makes egg customers go "ooh", and pretty birds to look at too! :-)
One male, four females. I want the ducks producing edible eggs, I don't have room for more than a very few more-3 or 4 tops. I was toying with the idea of breeding a few next spring but if they do up to 12 at a time I think incubation is the way to go.

OK, here's the deal. We got 5 lovely ducklings from tractor supply this past spring and it has been great watching them grow up. They have now started laying eggs which is awesome. So what's the problem? We had no idea how many eggs they were laying! We didn't realize that they were burying...
We've been raising chickens for a while and think we have a good grasp on that. Have had several successful hatchings and a good supply of eggs. We are looking into creating some unique chicken recipes. Live is pretty good when it comes to the chickens.
We do have some concerns about our...
