    What color eggs do you think?

    I have three Ameraucana/EE hens. Two are pure white, one is white with buff coloring on her head, sholders and chest, all three have blue/green legs and lay a blueish green egg, more green then blue. They mated with my two roosters. One is a Light Brahma and the other is a Light brahma/Barred...

    would not have believed it if I didn't see it!

    I got home from work and was out checking on the chickens. Tweety my banty Cochin hen was out in the yard with her 3 chicks eating some oatmeal I had laid out for them. I was just standing there watching them and the other chickens when Tweety suddenly stands as tall as she can and lets out this...

    How long will a hen stay broody if none of the eggs hatch?

    I have a Barred Rock hen that went broody the last few days of July. I did not have any fertile eggs because my Roo died a few months back. I bought some eggs and put them under her on the 5th of Aug. Of course this is one of our hottest months here in Texas. The day time temps have been between...

    Anyone near Denton Texas have hatching eggs for sale?

    One of my Bard Rock hens decided to go broody and I do not have any fertile eggs. I lost my Roo a few months ago so I am looking for a few standard/large size fertile chicken eggs local to the Denton/Dallas area. Breed is not too important, but do not want Leghorns or Silkes. She has been...

    Will separating a rooster from his hens make him mean?

    I had three roosters, two are gone because they were mean and tearing up my hens. The one I have left ~the youngest of the three~ is a Light Brahma that is just over a year old. He is very calm around people even young kids. He is very good to the girls mostly. He can get a bit over excited...

    Feathered Leg Gene (( Pics added Post #12 ))

    Does the feathered leg gene come from the Roo, the Hen or both? If you matted a non-feathered leg Roo like a Silver laced Wyandotte to say a Light Braham hen would you expect the chicks to have feathered legs or not? I have some chicks that hatched out that look like they could be from my Light...

    SLW a Black Sex-Link maker? {{Pics Added}}

    I had a SLW Rooster - he is gone now, was a bit of an angry bird and a pain in the butt - that I let mate with some BR's, LB's, GLS's and a Cochin that I have. Mainly I wanted to see what kind of cross I would get. I read that A SLW and a BR would make a BSL, but it seems that every breed my SLW...

    Free 10 month old Light Brahma Cockerel

    I have a 10 month old or so Light Brahma Cockerel that I need to re-home. He is very large, healthy and gentle. He will eat out of your hand and is fine around children, but he does not like to be touched or held, he will just run away if you try and touch him. He is very good to the hens as...

    Cockerels’ quest to be the Alfa is shot down. (Pics)

    I thought it would be good to show for those who have never seen what a spat for dominance between two Cockerels looks like; and no, this is not a cock fight. It is just chickens being chickens and a younger Cockerel testing an older Cockerel. It only lasted a minute or two and neither one got...

    What drives your Cockerel/Roo crazy mad?

    I was just wondering, what is the one thing that will always set your Cockerel/Rooster off? I thought it would be interesting to know some of the quirks of some the Roo’s out there. My 5 month old SLW Cockerel Skunky is a pretty good mannered Cockerel; to me anyway. He, however, does not like...

    How do chickens recognize people and other chickens?

    This is just something I was thinking about the other day when I was watching my 5 month old SLW cockerel Skunky. My brother stopped by and we went out into the yard. I went in first and Skunky, as he always does, comes running up to me to see what I might have. Then he saw my brother. He...

    I already have 2 Roos and don't need another one. I will give this guy to someone in the DFW area. I live by Denton. He is very active and healthy. He would make a good Roo for someone.

    How long should it take a Brahma chick to feather out?

    I have a Buff Brahma that is a tad over 6 weeks old and he/she is still mostly a big ball of fuzz. I know Brahmas are slow growing, but is this the normal growth rate for them? The BRs in the pic are the the same age give or take a day.

    What is the breed of this Green Legged Chisken?

    New to this site want to say HI to everyone and thanks in advance for your help. I was given this chicken - The pure white one - when it was about a day old. It is now almost 5 weeks old. I am guessing it is a bantam - never had Bantams before - because of it's very small size - you can see...
