I have 5 of the possible splash cochin bantams and 3 of the possible red cochin bantams.
My husband thinks the light ones are possible Self Blue D'uccle Bantams
Any help would be greatly appreciated !! Thank you !
These came out of our surprises from Cackle Hatchery. I have yet to figure out what they are. I am mind boggled. If anyone would have information of these 2, I would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Anyone have any thoughts on what can cause this?
We have 2 older hens with the rest that should start laying soon.
It looks like the size of our older hens eggs but the color and pattern is way off.
These girls came from a Cackle Hatchery Surprise in June of this year. I have 2 that look like Barred Rocks, but I am not sure. I also have 1 of 4 light hens that look like Buff Orpingtons and again not sure. If anyone has insight to what breeds they are, I would be greatly appreciated. Thank...
I have 2 hens that I think are Black Copper Maran. We only have two like them. Could anyone tell me if these are that breed or something different? Any help would be greatly appreciated !! Thanks !!
This is a picture I took this morning of one.
Hey everyone. I am worried about my 30 Coturnix Quail eggs that is day 17 this morning. Yesterday I seen most of them crack their shell. Just a crack, like a upward pop. No beaks as of yet. Temp is 99.5 on the dot and humidity is 60-70%.
Is that normal at all?
How long from the first initial...
Hello to all !!
My husband and I recently purchased the Farm Innovators 4200 Incubator. From the reviews we understood that the reference temp gauge would be off. We have our own digital temp probe for inside the incubator and have had great temps of 99.5f with the humidity reference gauge...
We purchased some Jumbo Corturnix Quails not long ago. For the past weeks my daughter has been going out to check on them every morning. She has been helping me out a lot and patiently waiting for that first egg. Today she went out to check and YES!!! we have our first egg. She was holding it...
Hey everyone, I am trying to figure out what breed these 2 are. We had three, but one didn't make it past the first 2 days when we got them. They are the smallest chickens that came with our order. I mean not even half the size of the rest. Would anyone know what kind they might be? Any help...
Our chickens are 5 1/2 weeks old now and we have just one that hasn't feathered in like everyone else. I am not sure of the breed or gender. I still see mostly baby fluffing. (btw) we call it Little Pimp Sqweep ! lol Its to cute running around with a fuzzy butt around all the rest. Any help...
My Cackle Hatchery Surprise has been true to its name. I am still trying to figure out what we have. I have a lot of chickens that I still can't currently figure out the breed but, I currently have 2 chickens that stand out from the rest. I am not sure of the gender or the official breed name...
I am looking at our local supply stores and these are the Diatomaceous Earth bags they have for sale. I never used any before, so I am at a loss on what to get. If anyone could lead me in the right direction, would be greatly appreciated. I am located in Southern Louisiana. Thanks !
I was recently given a hen from a lady at our local store. Her kids didn't want her anymore because they got a new pet Guinea Pig. I have a post in the emergency thread about this story. She is doing better since I got her yesterday. I am not sure what breed she is. Any help would be greatly...
I am not sure if I have to post this here or some where else. But here goes.
I went to the store today to get some items. The cashier lady knows I have chickens etc. She told me she was waiting for me to come back to the store. I asked her Why?. She said my kids have a pet chicken (hen) that...
We are working on our corner coop that will hopefully save on space. The coop measures 8ftx8ftx10ftx8ft(high).
We will be adding rows of nesting boxes on both back walls and roosting bars along the top and middle. We are using wood that was scraps from a relatives house. The only thing we had to...
This is our RIR rooster that we recently acquired. He is a very sweet and friendly to us, our kids and our current flock. He loves to roost on top of our pen wall, drop down, make 2 laps around the pen, then wait for me at the door to let him back in. Knowing he can just fly over. He just stares...
We received our Cackle Hatchery Surprise on 6/19/13. All 51 of them (including 3 Blue Slate Turkeys) are alive and thriving well. My daughter is 9 and she is acting like a mother hen to all of them, talking to them, making sure they have clean bedding, clean water and fresh food. She is on top...
I am not sure what they are. They only have one each of these pattern/color. I am just used to cochins and buff orps.
Could anyone help me ID these 2 chicks? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)
