I'm sure this has been asked or answered on here before but I'm curious if a CCL rooster over a BCM hen make 100% OE offspring. I've hatched OE with my BCM rooster over Easter Egger hens and picked out the pea comb ones since it is said that the pea comb is believed to be closely related to the...
This was sold to my as an easter egger. It is 8 weeks old so I know its a complete guess but anyone have an idea on the sex? I know the 3 row pea combs are males and pullets have a single row. This ones comb is wide but smooth. Haven't seen one like this before. any opinions are welcome! Thanks
I have 12, 13 week old pullets that are acting like they are choking. Symptoms look like how I've heard gapeworms described. I just noticed them acting like this yesterday. Only 2 of them yesterday were doing this (throwing head forward with their mouths open, and flopping around on the ground)...
My first broody hen hatch
My RIR mix hen just hatched out 12 chicks outta 14. Thought I would share pics .
2- OE (BCM x EE)
2- BCM x Buff Orpington
8- BCM x RIR
I have another RIR mix broody hen set to hatch in a week or two.
I'll post more pics later.
I have a hen that went broody. I have 3 nest boxes and 8 other hens in the coop. they all use the 1 nest box. My question is should I move her into her own little space? Will moving possibly make her stop? I don't want to risk scaring her off the nest. This is my first broody hen lol. Thanks in...
I have 2 chicks like this. I believe they are pullets. They both have flat pea combs at 3 weeks old. By the way these are OE from a BCM rooster over an EE hen.
Same chick as above
I think this is a roo. Is this a pea comb or straight?
Same chick as above
I believe this to be a...
I got this egg today from one of my black copper marans. I only have 2 BCM hens and have been getting regular size eggs. They are NOT new to laying ,so why would she lay such a small egg?
I just hatched out some first gen olive eggers, and I'm pretty sure i have a pea combed roo. I think I have a straight comb roo as well. My question is, is there any benefit to keeping one? I plan to hatch some 2nd gen and so on to play with egg color. I have a Black copper marans rooster and 2...
I am going to be adding pics of my olive egger chicks weekly as they grow up.
I am doing this with my Easter Egger chicks too! Check out my other thread
Just hatched
These have just hatched today so its not a very good pic. I will add more in a day or two. I have one more I hope will...
I'm going to be posting pictures weekly of my EE chicks until they are grown and laying. I have 2 buff orpington chicks I'll be posting along with them.

This is a little roo...
I have a clean faced EE that lays a mint green egg. I also have a BCM rooster and I'm about to set some eggs. I'm wondering if it is possible that the offspring will have bearded faces? Will they have clean legs or feathered? BMC has feathered shanks.
I have 12 Ameraucana chicks that I got at the farmers co-op and 1 of the pullets doesn't look like the others. She doesnt have the eyeliner eyes or stripes and is mostly red. Reminds me of a RIR so I wonder if she might have gotten tossed in there on accident. Tell me what you think. She does...
I have 13 3-4 day old chicks. They are ameraucanas. I have one that is pecking at the others eyes and face. Gets a good hold of em too, and they scream (or whatever lol). This thing is relentless, I've never seen a chick keep such an interest in something. Can it seriously hurt or kill the...
