    Help IDing young roo

    He came from Myers hatchery. I ordered some easter eggers and 6 mystery chicks. So he could be an EE or any other breed they carry. The hens on the right with the muffs are easter eggers. I hope he is because I would love to get some pure bread eggs to hatch. He has blueish legs but not as much...

    mystery chicks special

    sorry for the delay but I am not getting notifications of replys, :(. Here is the comb of the dark chick. And after looking at pics online I think you are right on the light colored one being an Ameraucana.

    mystery chicks special

    Meyers has a Lavender Orpington, maybe the first bird since it is very light colored compared to 4. They have several BLUE breeds but none have black feet, do the feet lighten as they age?

    mystery chicks special

    I got an "adopt me" special from Myers hatchery. They are leftovers, so all are pure breeds but no clue what breed. I do know one is an easter egger, they had that listed on the order form, I had ordered my mom 15 easter eggers and I guess it was an extra they sent. but I am not sure which one...

    Russian Orloffs

    Hi, I got orloffs last spring. Does anyone have any experience with orloffs as mothers? How do they do with chicks? I saw in a chicken breeds magazine at Tractor Supply last week that orloffs don't go broody. Funny, I have had 6 go broody this summer. I have broke the last five from it by...

    Mystery chick in my Orloffs

    that was my first thought. But that is just too crazy to be a coincidence. I only have two breeds, Russian Orloffs and a hen and roo pair of Salmon Faverolles. So to accidentally get another fav is just amazing.

    My Brooder. I kinda figured it out as I went. I used 2 sheets of particle board, a 4x4 post, 2x3s, misc hardware, shingles and tar paper. Just moved 14 chicks out to a larger pen and 5 turkey in.

    lay flat or use egg carton for lock-down?

    I was just cutting down a carton to try this time and noticed that it looks allot like the trays in my egg turner. I only have two trays in the bator because I only set 8 eggs and wanted room for the temp and humidity testers. The other trays can be laid in flat after removing the turner and...

    Faverolles Thread

    I have 5 beautiful favs that I hatched from eggs bought here last spring. I want some chicks. Soooo, do favs go broody? I have separated them from the rest of the flock in an adjoining pen. They have been in there for 4 days and still no eggs. How long do you think it will take for them to...
