    Thorin confuses me...

    Also, one of his hen hatch mates is my husband's favorite chicken, Gimli. Pictured with said husband. Lol.

    Thorin confuses me...

    See! The comb was the only reason I didn't just assume he is a quiet cock! These are his hatch makes, Noodle and Goldie. They all came from the same two hens, who are both EEs... Same roo daddy, a Wyandotte/Astrolorpe mix... Crazy how they can all be so very different!!!

    Thorin confuses me...

    This is Thorin, the 18 week old EE. Thorin confuses me. S/he has never crowed or danced, but also is much more standoffish than his hatch mates that are hens... He is not colored like any of the other EEs i have either, hen or roo.... So.... Cockerel or pullet?

    Black Copper Maran, minus the copper?

    This little bou has become the sweetest roo. He hops into my lap when I sit in the yard. He is good to his ladies. His crow is melodic and beautiful! We are pretty proud if him! He has not attacked anyone. He is only 6 months old, though... He does get held just about every day. Can't stop him...

    Langshan Thread!!!

    Not to be overly dramatic or anything... But my 10 week old Croad Langshan babies are the most beautiful chicken I've ever seen! 😉

    *GRAPHIC PIC* chick has bloody mass hanging from navel, help?

    In my recent hatch (we were discussing in my thread) I had one not close up the naval.... She was weak from hatch. I left her in the brooder a little longer than I usually, about 36 hours.... I tried nutridrench, a little wet cat food, a little scrambled egg... Nothing helped... She passed this...

    Dry hatch VS incubator instructions

    Completely dry, the incubator hung out, mostly, above 30, so I didn't want to add any water... I live in a coastal city, and ambient humidity was often in the 50% range. 😜 I would definitely not let it go under 25, since I was comfortable with the weight loss and air cell sixes/movement with the...

    Dry hatch VS incubator instructions

    Hello! This is anecdotal, but when I was searching for info on dry hatch VS "traditional" I couldn't find this... So, I'm gonna put it out there. I have hatched both ways and I wanted to share my technique for both, and the experience. I have the Kebonnix 12 egg incubator. For traditional...

    Cuckoo Maran with no toenails and pea comb?!

    Two croads and a bunch of Marans. Lol. I also have a Faverolle and a mystery one with a hair boof.... Thought Polish at first, but not sure anymore... They are from a different clutch of eggs I hatched separately but at the same time. Lol.

    Cuckoo Maran with no toenails and pea comb?!

    Good to know! Hatched 9 of 16 eggs, and this was the only one with nubbies. Lol. We were gifted these eggs. They were almost 2 weeks old, and an acquaintance didn't want them to go to waste, but she couldn't hatch them herself. They were supposed to be all Marans with two Croad Langshans. The...
