So basically they all have at least one flaw. Some are very very close to perfect but not exactly perfect. I think in the eyes of very high quality breeders they would all be culls. But some , just barely. My question is , is it AT ALL possible to get ANY perfect birds, by chance?
The birds with the totally good looking black faces have slightly feathered legs. The others just have have wattles and combs that are not totally black (which she said was normal) ...so basically none of these are ideals for breeding? Is the feather leg thing dominant or recessive? Could I...
first she said it is normal for not all to have totally black faces, but half of them did, so i was like ok whatever.
but then today when i got them home and got a closer look the one with the totally black faces have slightly feathered feet, not fully feathered, just a few, but i don't think...
howdy! I have 6 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte chicks... I am praying that at least 2 of them are pullets! i have read everything i can find about sexing wyandotte chicks but, I still can't figure them out! take a look at these pics... this is not all of them, but can you spot any little girls...

I checked them again this morning because i noticed my incubator was a few degrees cool, around 96.5-97 degrees F. they were set last...
Oh, I know exactly where courtland is! Sounds like you got your hands full. I been trying to fin some more bantam hens, I can't find them anywhere! Know anywhere to find some?
Haha yea not many of us it seems. I don't think they would have too much trouble getting along! I have a few OEGBs myself. What kind do you have? Are you in Hampton roads?
Hello, I am in CHESAPEAKE, VA. I will have a limited amount of Cream Legbar chicks hatching soon. The first batch is set to hatch on February 24, and the second should hatch on March 3. They are from the Greenfire Farms / Jill Reese line and the eggs were purchased from an NPIP farm.
This is...
thanks for the input. I think that they probably have not started breeding yet which is why things seem pretty tame. I guess I am going to have to sell one of them, because I can not find OEGB hens ANYWHERE near me. It will be sad to see one go, but I guess that's the way she goes..
thanks...
