Last fall I visted a mans house to look at some seramas. While I was there I noticed that he had a porcelain OE hen and a lavender OE hen in a cage together. I expressed interest in these and he said he bought them at a show along with a rooster as a trio of porcelain OE but had since then lost...
Hey I have been thinking about ordering chicks from Ideal Poultry. Mostly bantams but I worry a little since they do not use pics of thier own stock. After seeing this thread I think I might know why. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=164764 If you have ordered chicks from...
I really wanted Standard BLRW this year but zero of my 2 shipments of eggs hatched. A local bud of mine has graciously offered up some Turkey eggs to help me aquire some more BLRW eggs. The male is a mix but looks like a full Royal Palm only the size of a Bronze Tom. The 2 females he will...
This is the breed I put #1 on my list this year and was so excited to get 2 sets of eggs as they are not available around here. I hatched zero which was so disapointing. My wife isnt as in to the chicken thing and I have been forbidden to order any more of these eggs as she said it is a waste of...
I bought a new hen from the Lucasville OH swap meet this past weekend. She is a large fowl chicken that seems to be a mix of everything. I thought she was unusual and that I would share her with everyone. She's pretty and ugly at the same time. Let me know what you think.
I grew up on a farm and have had chickens my entire life. I have never tried shipped eggs until this year. Me and a good buddy decided we would give this a try as he has never done this either. Let me start by saying neither of us are strangers to incubators and have used them for several...
So what is in laying mash that makes it work? I never use it but my chickens always lay good. I just recently wormed my whole flock and since then laying has dropped off dramaticly. Im not sure if that had anything to do with it but I am trying to collect eggs from my flock and bantams for the...
Here are some chicks that I hatched from some eggs I bought off of Julie(bamachicken). These are from the mottled project Julie is currently working on. I had four hatch and have no idea if you can tell if they will be mottled or not. They look like penguins and one is way bigger than all the...
Hi I have been holding off thinking Julie(bamachicken) may have eggs later for sale but after seeing the auction I now realize that even if she did I would never be able to afford them. I know she probaly has the best stock but am looking for the best I can afford. I love this breed and want...
I have a pair of pure Seramas but they are not the best. I have looked at many pics of this breed and visted a farm that has hundreds last summer. A friend of mine has japs and jap mixes. To me the mixes could easily be Seramas. He is not trying to pass them off as such though. I want better...
This is for all you EE people. This may be a stupid question but just curious if this is possible. Say you took a rooster that comes from a line they lay pink eggs and crossed him to a hen that lays light blue eggs. Is it possible for the egg genetics to maybe blend and produce purple or...
Here are the pics that a few of you have requested of the Standard Cochin flock.

I have 4 goose eggs for sell or trade. I dont know much about them or what kind but can tell you that the pair are white with grey flight feathers and tails. I do know they are a pair as I gave thier whole clutch away last year to a friend that hatched 6. These were gifts we took in for our pond...
I know this subject has been covered many times but it seems like everyone uses cornish roosters. Does anyone know or has anyone ever used standard cornish cross hens with this cross. I have 2 dark cornish hens and am wondering what I would get if I crossed to a Partridge Rock, Speckled Sussex...
