    6mo Lavender English Orpington Roo, from Imported 2012 Line

    Mystery Hen Joined our Flock -- What Breed??

    Full Black Australorps?

    This March we picked up ten 4-day old "pullets" out near Lapeer Co. We realized the next day that two had slightly speckled faces which lasted well into their fourth and fifth week (guess that's what you get for letting a 5y/o pick 'em out). Of the ten, we lost one speckle-face and two of the...

    Checking in from Detroit

    Glad to finally sign on with byc after skimming around for months :] We're a new backyard farm, home so far to seven 3.5 m/o Black Australorps, a pair of black lionheads, an indoor Pionus, and a foxfaced little dog. In the spirit of small urban flocks, we keep a low profile and good terms...
