    Are these blue splash Phoenix chickens or self blue old English bantams

    I was sold a pair of chickens that were listed as 6 week old blue splash Phoenix. I heard the cockerel crow this morning and took a closer look at the birds. The cockerel has saddle feathers. I think they are not 6 weeks. More like 14 weeks. And the size is too small for a Phoenix. I suspect...

    Phoenix Chicks 5 weeks old

    These birds are very small if they are that old. They are the size of a dove. My Brahmas are 6 months old for comparison

    My Polish chicken laid her first egg today! (Finally). It’s pink! The white egg is from the store (for comparison) I also had to chase a hawk away from my flock this afternoon. It came to perch on my Tombstone rose and the chickens didn’t see it till I chased it off.

    Well I have finished my experiment of hatching fresh and refrigerated fresh eggs. My sister gave me a carton of 12 eggs that were washed and refrigerated (collected over the prior 3 days) and 5 eggs she collected that same morning.

    I put 16 eggs in lockdown yesterday and today I have 2 eggs that have pipped! It’s only day 19. The incubator temp was 99-100 degrees during the incubating for the first 17 days. I hope the chicks will be developed. The lines on the egg are to locate veins

    Methods

    I hold the chicken on my lap with a drape that extends into a lined trash can. I perform a cervical dislocation and then pithing to ensure the bird has been dispatched. Then I pluck the feathers over the jugular so I can cut the skin and vessel without dulling my knife on the feathers. I hold...
