    What are these bantams?

    My husband got a few bantams from a feed store this morning and we aren't sure what they are. Any ideas? The other one that looks like this has faint dark smudges on its back. Porcelains? This chipmunk one might be old English? Then there are five that have the same style but differing...

    Rouen x Khaki Cross

    A year ago we got our first ducks, a Rouen and a Khaki Campbell. The turned out to be a pair, and our female khaki decided to sit this winter. We just hatched ten ducklings from this cross and were trying to find pictures of what babies from this cross might look like. Ours came out half...

    Is this a Welsh Harlequin?

    I just got this little guy from a feed store assuming it is a WH, but I wanted to check on here. It's only a day or two old, and I understand you can confidently sex WHs early on based on bill color. Dark bill should be a boy, right?

We searched a few online breeders and decided to get a straight run lot of 25 assorted Cochins. Well they sent us two of about every...

    Oops, my intestines fell out. I lived!

    The hubby and I just hatched our first eggs in an incubator about two weeks ago. One little guy pipped the full circle of his egg, but then just sat there instead of coming out. We gave him several hours but he wasn't coming out! We popped the top off and discovered that his wing had been shrink...

    Any ideas?

    First time poster here. I just hatched out a couple chicks from my pure white feed store "ameraucana" roo to a supposedly pure buff Orpington hen. I knew we'd get mutts, but wasn't really sure what to expect since we don't really know the genetics of the roo. One chick hatched out as a pale...

    Any ideas?

    First time poster here. I recently hatched a few chicks from my pure white feed store "ameraucana" roo to a pure buff Orpington hen. I knew we'd get some mutts, but didn't know what to expect as I don't know much of the genetics of the roo. The babies were not what I was expecting! One hatched...
