    Oegb mixes

    Does anyone know what you get if you cross oegb silver duckwing cockerel with a barred hen? I have an unusual looking chick that I can’t figure out. Still unsure of its gender. Anyone have pictures of both genders of this mix?

    Nasty Broody

    Just an fyi update…she tried to murder the first hatchling. I was checking frequently while trying to give her space. She nearly skinned its back and left it cold. I scooped it up and warmed it up, cleaned its wounds and set up an incubator. It’s alive, but it’s back looks terrible and I’m not...

    Nasty Broody

    I have a Golden Sebright hen sitting on day 17 eggs… bantam do they may hatch tomorrow. She’s been diligent setting. Today, she left the nest and chased down the two week old chicks trying to kill them. I’m sure if I hadn’t been there, we would have lost one. I separated her and her eggs, but...

    Rooster cast out

    Thank you for your honesty. I needed to hear this. I have lots of guilt over the hard decisions and in all honesty two of our favorites were lost due to no fault of ours. There are enormous moments of joy mixed in… they are funny and cute, and some are sweet. I need to make sure we have no more...

    Rooster cast out

    How do you all manage your roosters??? I even bought 9 pullets to help balance out the chickens I had and then broody silkie hid her eggs where I couldn’t see them and could barely get to them. 14 eggs from 3 moms,7 clearly growing. I pitched the other 7. 3/7 are roosters. I’m right back where I...

    Rooster cast out

    In that group, 11 hens. (4 sisters born in October.) I lost one in January. The two roosters that remain with dad are smaller and less dominant. This guy is a spitting image of his dad… matured faster than the other two.

    Rooster cast out

    My silkies hatched out 7 chicks in October. 3 of them are roosters. Dad has always been good to all of them. Yesterday, I found the most dominant of the babies (now full grown) hiding, weak and badly bloodied, in a nest box. I removed him, cleaned him up and got him hydrated. The afternoon was a...

    What’s wrong with my favorite hen?

    I’ve definitely been played. She just had some water, a bit of food and another watery poop. She jumped back into the box and within 10 minutes found her old egg (from the refrigerator!) and tucked it underneath her! She’s had quite the spa day! 🤣 Dixie Chick must have spent some time with my...

    What’s wrong with my bantam baby?

    Is she (little grey) a he? Did he survive? The other one is an oegb! Possibly a female oegb, silver duckwing 💙

    What’s wrong with my favorite hen?

    I had to do that with one of my older hens! It worked in one night! I have 5 barred oegb arriving any day now from a hatchery (I’m rooster heavy and needed girls.) Can she take the chicks? The way she’s sitting right here, she’d sit in the brooder, but can I keep her from the flock that long...

    What’s wrong with my favorite hen?

    Thank you! I originally thought she was broody! She’s been laying for quite some time… maybe 3 weeks or so! She started out being squawky and yelling if anyone got close to the nest box about 3 days ago. I am now thinking she got bullied out of the box and all the commotion in the coop with her...

    What’s wrong with my favorite hen?

    Ok. I will check her again. Do you think there is ANY chance she’s just broody? She’s the smallest (oegb with Sebrights) in her flock and she’s the rooster’s favorite. 2 others have started laying and they use the same nest boxes. There’s been some squabbling. Maybe she likes the peace and quiet...
