    What breed is my neighbor's rooster?

    My neighbor is an older farm lady who has never paid any attention to what breed of chickens she has. She never has to buy chickens, people just give them to her. Today, I was over at her house and she told me she acquired 6 new hens from the animal shelter. I looked them over and spouted off...

    Fan on or off during lockdown?

    I've been searching for the answer to this question but have not found an answer so thought I would just ask. I have an incubator with an air circulating fan (farm innovators). Last time I hatched out chicks, I left the fan on during lockdown and hatch. Was I suppose to unplug the fan during...

    POL: List of ages my different breeds started laying eggs, and what hatchery they came from :

    I have a variety pack of breeds all at or around Point of lay. The reason I started this thread is because when I was waiting for my first eggs, I didn't just want to know when other people's pullets started laying eggs, I also wanted to know what hatcheries they came from. So, I thought I...

    I have a 5 month old Cream Legbar pullet who I have heard sing the egg song in the past few weeks but have never seen an egg from her.

    Cream Legbar or mix?

    This is one of my 4 month old pullets. She is suppose to be a Cream Legbar, the lady who gave her to me "said" she hatched her out from a Cream Legbar hen egg, but I am wondering if another rooster got a hold of her mama besides the CLB roosters she has. She does not look 100% CLB to me. Or if...

    I know the answer in my heart but hope I am wrong. Roo or pullet

    This is a 4 week Lavender Orpington with a 3 week old Black Orpington. I am positive the Black is a pullet, she was the only one hatched out of 42 eggs, survived a broken incubator, faulty thermometers and nearly drowned the day she hatched. She climbed into the cup of water used for humidity...
