    Usually I do pretty well by watching their behavior, but I've had a few where I got it completely wrong! :)

    Easter Egger club!

    Just came across this Club. Nice Idea. I have a Silkie crossed with a Crest Cream Legbar who lays green eggs. Very close to my Arucana eggs. I'll have to get a photo of her for this Club/Thread. Her name is Friendly and although she is our smallest hen, she is the Boss!

    Boy's or Girls?

    I know these chicks are very young (only two weeks), but I was wondering if anyone had any idea of gender. You guys are pretty good so I thought it was worth posting. Number 1 is a Leghorn. Number 2 is a Welsummer. 3 and 4 are both Ancona's. Thanks for the Help. #1 Leghorn #2...

    Anyone have a Silkie x Pekin?

    One of my favorite hens is our little Silkie Pekin Cross. She's a great layer, five or six eggs a week, right through the winter. She's always been friendly since she was a chick. She is not overly broody...like our orpington. When she shows signs of broodiness I take extra care to not let any...

    Chicken acting weird. Is she broody without a rooster around?

    Sure sounds like she is going broody. Why not get some fertile eggs and put them under her? Carefully move her to a more suitable spot first. If she's real broody it probably won't make a difference but I usually slip the eggs under them while their sleeping. Depending on the size of the hen, I...

    what breed are my girls

    What is a Black Valdano?

    I was reading about the origin of Anconas and came across a reference to Black Valdano's. : "They (Anconas) probably originated from a cross between the Black Valdano and the common fowl of Italy" , H. Cecil Sheppard I can't find any reference to "Black Valdanos' anywhere else. Has anyone...
