I have a pen with mostly cream legbars, one solid black shetland hen, and 1 shetland roo. Cream legbars are easy to spot bc boys have the white spot on their heads and the girls are chipmunk striped. Because of the nature of a landrace breed, it's harder to tell typing early on with a Shetland...
Hi! I’m in ga & received my Shetlands in February from gff. I ordered 4 and only 1 made it. They were all small, dark chicks. I was kind of surprised because of the variation they feature in chicks on the web. I really want to find hatching eggs because I’ve had a lot more success with them than...
Hi! I bought some poults listed as Narragansetts and sent a photo to a friend. She says these are not Narragansett and now I can’t get the lady who sold them to me to reply. My heart was not set on that breed, but I don’t like the idea that I was duped. Can someone help me guess what I have?
Well, I've been hatching all week and tagging chicks as they turn up. So far, 8 marans or marans/ameraucana mixes, 4 silkies, 3 isbars, 2 cream legbars, 1 black marans, 1 golden spitzhauben, 1 blue laced red wyandotte, 2 swedish flower, and 1 silver laced orp. They are sooo cute!!

Hey y'all...A little pre-Easter crisis here. Neighbor dog busted into our yard today and killed my littlest child's favorite bird. Does anyone have a connection in the middle GA area who might have a white silkie hen or started pullet they would sell? Feeling kind of desperate. Any leads...

How is everyone? No more hatching in March around here. I'll have to track down the April HAL because I plan to be busy with babies! Tossed a few non-starters today, and started taking a closer look at my CCL which (praise!) are mostly female. The marans had one hatch that must have been...
All of my eggs, except 1, have hatched. Lost one little CCL that was going down hard this morning, rallied, then passed later. Have one with straddle leg, but have put hobbles on it.
I am just not cut out to share space with people. It's too people-y here. Now my husband has come home and wonders where to work. My advice was in a room with a door because that way I won't have to hear him sigh all day as he's on calls and also so he doesn't have to shush people all day.
