I didn't think hatcheries/stores would sell mutt chickens, but could that be the case? I've looked up just about any breed that was remotely similar to my chickens but none match.
I have two pullets that were labeled as heavies. They are barred with small single combs and yellow feet.I originally thought they were easter eggers but that doesn't seem to be the case. Any ideas?
Is it possible to have an Easter egger without a beard/muffs? I have two pullets that were labeled as heavies at the store. I was convinced that they were easter eggers because I saw a picture of an EE that looked just like them but now I'm doubting myself. I thought they would develop muffs as...
There's a chance they could coexist peacefully, if you end up deciding you want both. Sometimes roos who were raised together will tolerate each other at maturity as well. You'll just have to watch them.
Welsummer for sure! I have a banty roo and he's my favorite. The funny thing is, my other roo was also a Henrietta before we realized he was Henry. We got rid of him.
Not sure about the rest of the birds junebuggena listed, but I have a campine and while she is gorgeous, she is the most skittish bird I have and refuses to come anywhere near me =/ IMO not a good choice for a friendly flock
Sorry for the threadjack but I have a question actually. I was considering getting a robo maybe a rat, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. What is the maintenance like? How friendly are they? Which pet do you think would best suit me?
I'd say welsummer is your best bet. They are heat hardy and one of the most docile breeds you'll find. I have a welsummer bantam roo who sits in my lap. I believe they come in standard sizes as well.
Looks to me like orpingtons, RIR, and barred rock but I've never had a dominique so idk could be that. You should be able to tell by the comb. BRs have single combs.
I can't remember what the dimensions are, I think the run is 20x20 but I could be wrong. And sadly, I think you're right, I should just stop expecting him to sit in my lap or follow me around like he used to :'(
