    Did I kill this chickie?

    I set 9 Jersey Giant eggs on June 2nd and yesterday was Day 7 so I candled them. I had one that had no veins and just a floating dark spot.

    Cripled foot deformity?

    We got some new baby chicks yesterday and one is the cutest little sizzle baby but its foot is not formed properly. One of its toes is turned under so instead of putting pressure on just the one toe underneath it kinda hobbles around with its claw balled up (it tucks all its toes) to walk on. I...

    Would they be pure?

    I am wanting to start a few breeding projects and had some questions. Like say for instance I want to expand the color pallet in my flock. So if I crossed a Gold Laced Wyandotte with a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, both parents being Wyandottes would they be considered pure bred? I am just wanting...

    My Gold Laced Wyandotte is supposed to be female..

    This is Laycee "she" is almost seven weeks old but I think that she may very well be a he.. I thought maybe her wattles were coming because of her breed but I am not sure. Also she has been acting kind of flighty/ fighty towards the other baby cockrels (males for certain) but my other babies...

    More about breeding..

    I have never really breed chickens so bear with me here. I have a Gold Laced Wyandotte pullet and I got her a Gold Laced Cochin cockrel to breed with when they come of age. Is this a good idea or should I get her a Gold Laced Wyandotte Roo? I dont want too many roos running around for fear of...
