Same here - although mine have only stopped laying 2 months ago. 22 hens. This is only the second winter for some of them and the third for the rest. Some were broody prior, and then after that they all started molting. They finished molting 2 or 3 weeks ago and still nothing. I put false eggs...

Oh dear - I’m so sorry! I’m fearful that my hen may have ingested hay as well or feathers. She has been super active and eating until I crated her and showed no sign of distress otherwise, so I’m hoping if I can’t get her to pass the impaction that perhaps I can utilize a “crop bra” and just put...

Any updates? I noticed several weeks ago that one of my hens had a very large crop but I just figured she was pigging out. I just realized two days ago that there’s no way it’s just a bunch of normal food waiting to pass. I’ve had numerous hens getting their feathers picked out and I’m...

Umm, my MMM’s are 27 weeks and no eggs yet

Anyone experience puffy cheeks / beards yet in their MMMs?

I’ve been thinking they are mixed with Black Sex Link but ‍♀️

Yes I noticed the OP date of March 2016 so it’s been 3.5 years hence why I wrote “I know it’s been a while...” But for the sake of my hens it’s worth a shot to ask.

Hello! I have 3 pullets who are showing black on their combs exactly as in your photo. I know it’s been a while but could you tell me how it ended up? Thanks in advance - I’m hoping it’s not an illness.

Thank you so much for that explanation! I would have never known!

Wonderful looking birds!! I’m curious though, the blue laced roo in the photo - if he was a wyandotte cross, shouldn’t he have a rose comb? Isn’t that dominant? Thanks!!

Any updates?

So how are they doing now? Still smaller? I bought a SF from a feed store in April that is still way smaller than some other chicks that are 2-3 weeks younger. ‍♀️ I’m worried she’ll be a bantam or just forever small ☹️

Oh awesome! Thank you for the reply! Did the hen show any lavender? Also, what was her egg color like? Thank you for the info!

So what was the outcome?

Does one of yours have a beard? I have one with a definite beard and suspect it may be an Olive egger. TIA

Do either of them have feathered legs/feet? Both of mine are fully feathered down their legs and feet.

Yes, I did notice that. Was just hoping the original poster would receive an email and possibly respond. It could also prove helpful if anyone else who comes across this thread and knows of a breeder or where to get Thuringians in the US that they could respond to this post with that...

Did you ever find any? Thanks!

Here’s a photo of the ear tufts / cheeks / muffs, whatever you’d call them:

Sorry, I don’t know why I said ear tufts. I meant cheeks - the puffy cheeks you see on Ameraucanas.
