What is the result be of a New Hampshire Red rooster x Brown Leghorn hen?
Also, would the chick be a sex link? If so, would the female be red and the make be white/yellow?
Hello and welcome!
My biggest suggestion to consider for a coop is open air / ventilation. It is so very important no matter what part of the country you live in. I'm sure you'll do a fantastic job!
I am looking for a loving home for my beloved pet chickens. We are relocating from Southern Maine to Tennessee and we will not be able to bring them with us.
I have a flock of eleven - ten hens and one rooster - ranging from one to five years old. I primarily have heritage breeds (all but two...
We are looking for new homes for our two Silver Grey Dorking cockerels by Friday of this week. Very beautiful! but we do not have a place for roosters right now. I would really like to see Austin and Jackson get new homes. Austin has started to crow - already getting deeper and better sounding...
Well, yesterday I took her to the vet because when I got home the night before, her 'good' leg was swollen twice it's size. The vet said that her muscles aren't forming properly and that it is individual to her and not the flock or the other Dorkings. The vet recommended increasing her protein...
I've been doing epsom salt soaks after bedtime. It doesn't appear that she's getting better. Am I just being impatient? At what point do I bring her to the vet? I know it's not broken (well, she still uses it but not well) and she still has her appetite and wants O-U-T. Will it get better on...
My baby girl, Mae C (pronounced Macy), has a bruised leg and is limping. It started last Friday when I saw her limping when they were outside. Upon inspection, I noticed bruising on her leg (she is a Silver Gray Dorking so her legs are light color and the bruise is dark). No swelling, good...
Thanks nhingy!
They certainly do grow on you that's for sure! Our chickens and ducks all got their own little personalities. I agree, it is pretty neat when they follow you around and hang out with you. :) Last weekend I was sitting in the coop waiting for babies to hatch and I looked over my...
Well, I had to modify the maternity ward the other night. Rebekah is super over protective whereas Sophia is fine. Rebekah would go over and growl at Sophia's little ones making them scatter all over the place. They kept getting their feathers ruffled so I put a divider between them. The moms...
Happy to report that Gabrielle and Claudette are BFFs!
I saw an ad on Craigslist about ducklings for sale. I inquired if any older ducks were available and he responded yes (Claudette). They are the next town over so it wasn't that far from my house. I stayed about half an hour, had a tour...
