    Does CCL x BCM make 100% OE?

    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...

    Any ideas?

    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

    Gapeworms?!! Wasine?!!

    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)...

    Do I move my broody hen?

    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...

    Roo or Pullet? What do you guys think?

    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...

    EE Question

    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.

    Ameraucana?

    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.

    can 3-4 day old chicks hurt or kill each other?

    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...
