https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/whiting_true_blue.html Looking at these, I sincerely hope that's what it is. Sounds neat. Guess you'll find out when it pops out an egg!

I'll look into it. Just trying to minimize the spread as much as possible. She seemed fine the day before yesterday--I see them every day....Very odd. Thank you again. :/

Her face doubled in size over night and her earlobes and swollen cheek-area are bubble-gum pink--haven't even gotten a hold of our farm vet yet due to the holiday.....So we're set to cull her tonight. I feel bad, like I'm betraying her. She's a good girl and a good layer. I'll treat the rest...

Meh. Tabasco & Ranchero are Jubilee Orpington x Buff ameraucanas crosses. Guess nobody wants to play. :/

Yep. But a little special.

Here's a hard one--an immature cross. Destined for my layer group, Tabasco (Cross) and inseparable best-friend Sagittarius (white EE). Two very popular common breeds on BackYard Chicken. Hints: -Mom is buff, dad is Jubilee. 'Basco has one single flower right on the butt. -2 months old...

Yep! Obviously not difficult enough. :/

That isn't to say that they're all that way.... She's from Meyer. Noticing more and more that mostly anything with a beard is skittish. Wonder if it's because it limits their vision. Just more used to birds to friendly birds. Too friendly. Here's one, might be difficult. It's not a...

I had 2 Salmon Favs. This is the one I still have, Crouton. She looks like she's on drugs right now without her beard. She's starting to warm up. But both of them were so skittish and SCREAM when I pick them up. Not sure if I would recommend or not. Just not friendly, and lay eggs about...

Thanks for the fast reply. I'm going to have to do just that....

...is Ice. The corner of her mouth is swollen. I looked in her mouth and there's a slit surrounded by this yellow-ish junk. She's a jerk, but she's *MY* jerk. :c Reading this is scaring the -ish- out of me...

Thanks.

Oh, I know--I had illegal chickens in Cleveland for about a year. And my barred rock rooster. Sold eggs downtown, made enough money so they literally paid for themselves. Edit: correction, it was more like a year and 6 months. Some times I take a few birds with me when I go back to visit just...

I honestly can't hear my bantam roos from the house like I can my standard sized boys--my cream legbar goes off at 4AM on the dot every morning without fail. We had OEGB and d'Uccles now we just have the d'Uccles--the pen they're in is closer to the house and I still honestly can't hear them...

Probably wouldn't leave them to their own in the pen with the big ones. Do you have a cage you can put them in inside of your run? Let them see each other, and get used to seeing each other before they all go in together. From my personal experience, let that go on for 2 weeks or more then let...

I assume this is my last egg from my batch that was set to hatch 5/21 (6 days ago). My poor green-laying EE has no luck--1 of her 5 hatched and now it's worrying me. I already lost one with some intestines beading out. It hatched and began dragging its shell behind it. I placed it in a...

Not sure. The only vulture hocks I have are on my d'Uccles. My brahmas don't even have them yet. Don't think they have anything to do with gender though.

I'm not sure but pretty sure those are called 'vulture hocks'.... https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/113743/are-these-vulture-hocks-on-my-silkie

Silkie = walnut comb, Brahma = pea comb..... Guessing not. There's nearly an unlimited amount of crosses in existence so.... that's how I'm convincing myself to not feel bad about not knowing. Here's my dumb throw-away guess..... OEGB x blue Cochin..... Or even serama....

Aw. See, that's crazy. You're right....I didn't see anything about crosses when I looked last night either--and their picture wasn't of a silkie cross. That's disappointing!
