I have 3 of 7 hens left, 1 Ameraucana/Easter Egger, 1 RIR, and 1 hybrid, perhaps a sex link or cinnamon queen. They are all about 19-20 months old, hatched July or August 2011. I just got them to help a friend, but they're not adjusting to my flock & my girls are very dominant towards this...
Have a cute, though nervous when handled Silkie/Mille Fleur D'Uccles cross Bantam cockerel for sale. Born in September of last year, so he's about 5 months old. His sire was a MFD and hen is a white Silkie. Looking for a home of his own, perhaps to be part of a breeding program to introduce the...

I have 25 Jumbo Cornish X/Australorp chicks better known as "Black Broilers." Asking $2 each or 10 for $15 (SALE PRICE $1.50 EA THROUGH SUNDAY). They hatched Monday 2/11 & since I received them 2/13, have been fed a 22% protein, organic vegetarian diet. These will be sold as straight run, so I...

I picked up 2 blue colored chicks from the local feedstore today. I thought at first they were Brahmas, but they can't be since they have no feathers on their legs. They are from standard sized stock (not bantams). Could anyone tell me what breed(s) these 2 are? Thanks for any and all...
Just as an experiment, I put 3 eggs from 5 month old standard breed pullets under a 1 year old setting hen. I haven't candled these yet, but I've confirmed eggs from this bunch of youngsters are being fertilized. Now the eggs are not the same size as a full sized hen's would be, so I was curious...
Hi, I'm fairly new to BYC and raising chickens. I was raised around chickens as a child, but I never took the time to learn about them until I wanted some of my own. I raise Speckled Sussex and D'Uccles and Silkie bantams and am always in search of new bloodlines to introduce. I don't know too...
