    Blue Wheaten or Blue Copper

    Hello! I was sold a Blue Copper Marans, but someone made a comment they weren't sure if he was Blue Wheaten or Blue Copper instead. I can't remember their reason why they questioned it, and it's way back in my Facebook history. How would I find out which he is? Like what do I look for on...

    Early molting = bad winter?

    Not really sure where to put this thread but bear with me 🤣 My birds have always molted sometime between the tail end of August to November, when daylight really starts decreasing. This year it started in June. I thought maybe it was because of their age. They didn't molt last year due to...

    Barred splash? Splash barred.

    Hello! I hatched a little cockerel 3, maybe 3.5 months ago. He's super, super pretty! I noticed today he's got some barring in his splash? Or maybe it's weird feather coloring since he's getting rid of teenager feathers for adult feathers? Grandpa and Grandma were Olive Egger, blue and silver...

    Eggs soon...?

    I have three, 4 month old Cayugas. Hatched the day before Valentine's. Two hens and a drake. Today I saw my drake actually breed one of the hens. They did their little necking motion and he got on top of her and did the thing. She didn't fight or fuss and just let him. I feel like 4 months is...

    Hey guys! I was given some duck eggs and hatched them. I was told they were Cayuga. They're about three weeks old, losing their baby fluff and gaining some real feathers.

    Respiratory Illness

    Hi guys! My chickens have come down with an illness. It started off with my Leghorn hen. It was 110F before the heat index and she was panting, sounded kind of gurgley. I didn't think too much of it because it's hot, even with a mister and a breeze. She started sneezing last week and doing this...
