    Did I end up with 3 roos?

    I have three chicks I hatched almost 3 months ago. They are splash maran roo over salmon faverolle hens and all are blue but I’m not sure if I’ve got 2 roos and 1 hen or 3 roos. All 3 have the start of spurs, the one I think might be a hen is slightly lighter and has a different comb from the...

    3 buns in the oven

    We are on lockdown, 2 days left. I have noticed the occasional wiggle from side to side. Humidity is holding between 50-55% with no big fluctuations.

    3 buns in the oven

    First time incubating and of 10 eggs I have 3 definitely developing. I kind of figured they may not have been all fertilized because the roo only figure his job out fairly recently but I’m glad it will be a small batch to start with. Hopefully I get three healthy fuzz balls. Dad is a splash...

    I think one of my hens was eaten

    Sorry for your loss, mine was named Melvin and she was the most independent of the bunch.

    I think one of my hens was eaten

    That tracks, there is a fox in the area, I haven’t seen him for months but he was out in the day light several months ago boldly watching my hens free range about 100 yards away. Guess I’ll be fort knoxing the coop tomorrow, I’m sure he’ll be back.

    I think one of my hens was eaten

    Went to feed this morning and saw a burst of feathers outside the coop, realize it was the one that likes to fly out of the run, so she must have been outside the coop overnight. I followed a trail of several other feather explosions but could not find a body. No blood evident. It’s just so...

    what makes a breed a breed?

    Do chicken breeders keep track of bloodlines to verify breed or is it all based on sop? I have a splash maran rooster and salmon faverolle hens and from what I’ve read if I breed them all the off spring will be blue so I’m wondering if I can create blue faverolles over time this way? I’m...

    Mareks nodules or just beat up?

    You know what, they do kind of look like that on closer inspection. One of my girls had her feathers ripped out and that is what it looked like when they grew out. I’m probably over reacting to nothing. :rolleyes:

    Mareks nodules or just beat up?

    I have a new roo in quarantine but some nodules? scabs? on his feet have me a little worried I may have introduced Mareks to the flock. He was in a pen of about 20 other roos, but everything looked clean and healthy nothing concerning about them. Does this look like injuries from being picked...

    Thank you anyway, it is a little farther than I wanted to go, I’m not sure how common these guys are down here, but figured I‘d try before going with a different breed or having to wait for next years babies.
