Haha! I thought this was a current post until I saw the fully grown pic, but was going to guess Roo based on the pointy, scimitar shaped wing tips & lack of butt plumage that usually ends up being male. Pretty cool 😎 Beautiful rooster too!
Hi. I'm in Shreveport! I don't get on BYC much these days, but would like to try to start visiting more frequently. Lol. I've had several different breeds and mixes of chickens since 2008, but am now focused solely on getting lots of big beautiful eggs.I'd like to make my own SBEL strain that...
Hi! When you say that the Marans rooster is covering some "Marans mixes" what are those mixed with? Is it a totally different breed or intermixed Marans? Your eggs are beautiful! Also, I know it's hens' choice, but would it be ok to specify which we'd like most, IF available, of course! Thanks! :-)

Hello. My name is Amanda B. & I'm a chicken addict....
I live in NW Louisiana with 2 kids, a small but growing flock of chickies, a dog, a cat, & a few giant goldfish. I started out like so many other innocent victims...lured into a...
I GOTTEM!!! Yay! I wired that tuna can down & hid the trap in between some sterlite-tote nestboxes that I have in the pen just to give the girls new & interesting places to lay. I even put one on top of the trap. Just went out there & there he is....THANKS SO MUCH TO EVERYONE FOR ALL THE...
Thanks guys! Well, the Vexcon folks in particular may not be to blame, but anyone who relocates an animal might think that out here is woodsy enough for it to not be a problem. There are other companies here that do the "humane" pest control besides them, & individuals may also do so, even...
Thanks for the advice. This is my first foray into trapping a critter. Hehe. The trap wasn't flipped, but was spun around like it did a 180, & pushed several feet away from the starting point. I will try again, & will stake it down & secure a can of irresistably stinky tuna to the floor of the...
Congrats on getting the deed done! I'm glad you had better luck with your trap last night than I did with mine! I also set mine last night, using a bit of BBQ chicken 4 the bait & I even heard the thing out there banging around in the trap & I thought to myself as I fell back asleep, "Oh goody...
My friend & I are enjoying the hatching season, but have a lil dilemma. Her broody hatched out 2 chicks, & we stuffed another feedstore chick under her, & she's raising them fine it seems, except that the other feedstore chicks chicks that are the same age that we have in the brooder under 24hr...
I've been thinking...I wonder if little RedHot will be able to breed with the JG if she's really huge. All but one of my roos are bantams, & they do breed with the standard-size hens without trouble, but they are like 4-8 lbs, & aren't the JG like 10+ lbs? Just crossed my mind, & didn't see...
Ok, thanks for your patience, y'all. The weather cleared up & I was able to get some pics for your viewing pleasure. Lol.
This is the Daddy EE, "Fabio"
This is Fabio with the mama BR, "Checkers", & the EE hen (possibly sister?) that lays olive eggs, "Peach"
These are the sweet lil blue...
