I got 2 in my shipment from Ideal yesterday morning. I was just wondering what color they will turn out to be. They are the same color as my white rock chicks that came with them right now so I was wondering if they would be white also. Thanks!!
Wow!!! I was hoping for a hen but I would rather have a roo that looks like that instead of my Buff Orpington roo. I hope he makes it because my Buff Orp roo is mean & is about to be re-homed. Thanks!!!
My broody hatched this little chick yesterday. It is a cross of a Buff Orpington rooster & a Barred Rock hen. Anybody have any pictures of this cross as adults. I'm praying it is a hen.
Well I moved her & the 2 babies in my brooder tub a few minutes ago. The 2 babies are too cute. One is a buff orpington & the other is a buff orpington/barred rock cross & it is my favorite. I didn't have anything to take pictures with so I will try to take some in a little bit. When I put her...
I just checked and there was half of a shell in the edge of the nest box with her. I tried to peak under her & one of the babies started peeping & then she started pecking me hard. I can't wait to see what they look like. 1 should be a pure buff orpington & the other should be a buff...
Thanks, I'm going to go out there & fix up my tub brooder that I started my flock in. Just got back with some chick starter, now I'm going to see if the babies are out yet.
Thanks for the advice everyone!!! I really don't have a place to separate her from the rest of the flock. I was hoping she would be able to raise them right in the coop with the rest of the flock. Going to get some chick starter now, guess I need to figure out a place to put her with the babies...
I've got a little mille d'uccle bantam that looks like is about to hatch 2 new babies today. She got off the nest a minute ago to eat & I looked at her 2 eggs she's been setting on & they appear to be hatching. They've got a hole in them & when I touched them they started peeping. Question is...
I got 9 eggs from 10 hens today (1 is broody & setting on 4 eggs ) I have 4 Production Reds, 3 Barred Rocks, 1 Buff Orpington, 1 Gold Sex Link & my broody Mille Fleur D'uccle bantam. I have a Buff Orpington Rooster that watches over them.
I had a little d'uccle hen go broody over a week ago. She has been setting on 4 eggs for the last week. When I went to the barn a minute ago she had gotten off the nest today and apparently gotten back in the wrong nest box. She was sitting on 3 eggs that were layed today in a different box and...
I have 4 Production Reds in my flock of 10 hens & they are by far my best layers. They lay big brown eggs and are very friendly. If you're after lots of eggs then go with the production reds.
Just wondering if anybody has any pictures of what they would look like as adults. I've got a Buff Orp Roo and was wondering what the babies would look like from my Barred Rock hens. Thanks for any help.
