    Silverudd x Buff Orpington Cross?

    No, but I have one in the incubator hatching in about 9 days! I’d love to see pictures of your chicks.

    HELP!! IDK WHAT TO DO! SOS!

    I don’t think any further intervention would be helpful. Of course, they shouldn’t have tried to assist hatch in the first place but it looks like the bleeding has stopped…I think all you can do is wait it out and make sure humidity is up

    BCM hen or roo?

    This one is 3.5 weeks. I think I know the real answer but want someone to feed my delusions that this might be a girl 😂

    Fertile or not?

    Is this fertile? Looks borderline to me, curious what others think.

    Hoping to connect with some other chicken/farm/garden folks on instagram! I have been loving documenting our journey and would really like to connect with more folks. I am sunnysidefarmstand on instagram. I live on a small island off the coast of BC, Canada!

    What did I just find in my egg?

    Unfortunately it’s in the bin so I can’t comment on feel. They’re all on grower pellets (we have a mixed age flock) and get the occasional scratch (small amount 1-2x per week), maybe some berries or lettuce etc if I have something laying around

    What did I just find in my egg?

    I found this egg out in the run today (very weird) after my BCM hadn’t layed the last two days (also weird) even though she was in the lay box a couple days ago. The egg, for the first time ever, had a very heavy bloom (she usually lays dark brown speckled eggs). It must be hers because my other...

    off spring egg color predictions

    The BCM roo over a blue layer will create an oliver egger. The BCM roo over a green layer will also create an olive egger, but likely a deeper green or green-brown egg ☺️

    Pullet laid 2 eggs then stopped

    Just to provide an update. Our Silverudd cockerel was added two days ago basically cold-turkey because of my setup and the weather conditions. But we have a large coop and very large run for the number of birds. He got put in his place right off the bat and was pretty terrified for the first few...

    Pullet laid 2 eggs then stopped

    Thank you! I’m a bit nervous but I live in an area with lots of chicken owners and have made some connections that have given good advice. You are right, he is very young (like 8ish weeks old) as is about half of the flock, but not all. I am a bit worried about the 7m old being a bully! The...

    Pullet laid 2 eggs then stopped

    Thank you so much for the thoughtful response! She has verrry little copper, but yes feathered feet. Her egg was a beautiful dark brown. She is the eldest of 9 pullets that I have, with the youngest being only 7-8 weeks old. Golf balls are in the lay boxes to encourage laying there. Per the...
