    Broody Hen Thread!

    I have a broody light Sussex right now about 8-9 months old. I was going to sell her because I only have 4 chickens and no room for extras but everyone who wanted to purchase her asked if they would get a refund if she didn't set on the eggs until hatch time. Which is ridiculous if you ask me...

She is...

    The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

    I thought the same thing. The little guy should have been a darker color by now if it was a jubilee. I guess we will see what it's like when it grows up! I call her the mystery chick lol

    The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

    You think the light yellow/white one with the random brown feathers could be a cuckoo? I know it's an orpington but i don't know what. The guy had jubilee orps as well could that be the coloring coming out?

    The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

    Alright I have 4 orpingtons. 2 are supposed to be lemon cuckoos one is a clear mystery to me and the other is supposed to be a gold laced. They are 3 weeks old so it may be too hard to tell what exactly they will grow up to be but any input on their colors is much appreciated.

    Chicken Breed Focus - Appenzeller Spitzhauben

    Here's my 4 month old hen. She came from a place where there were a lot of chickens and I think they all plucked her tail feathers out. Will they grow back? Her beak is also crooked. Poor girl she has had a rough life but she is in good hands now.

    She was is 3 days old and I put the brace on last night and by this morning she was standing which she wasn't yesterday.
