    Hen or Roo?

    Any guesses on the gender … I have two that are obviously Roos but the others are stumping me! They hatched early May late April can’t remember exact date. The black too is trying to mount but just one of them…. I’m afraid the rest are roosters!!!

    What breed?

    I got this rooster from TSC last year, he was outside the bin and I told the lady to just throw him in with the others I was buying. I think he either came from the Prairie BlueBell bin or the Easter Egger Bin. I have eggs in the incubator and he’s the Rooster I used, trying to figure out what...

    Olive Egger lays different egg?

    Last winter my hen hatched an egg from a BBS Blue Amerucauna Rooster and a Welsummer hen. The hatched hen started laying an Olive Green egg this spring but every other time it has speckles on it, is this possible? I’ve heard a hen lays the same egg each time so I’m confused, I have no other...

    Rooster dominance and frostbite

    I now have 2 roosters in my coop along with 14 hens. I introduced a young cockerel along with 5 hens over the summer. They all free ranged 90% of the time. The two flocks would free range together during the day and then go to their separate cops to roost. Eventually, I would take the younger...

    I have 4 pullets ready to lay any day now.

    Heavy Bloom

    This may be a stupid question but .... Just wondering if there’s a way to remove heavy bloom from eggs. This is the same egg one pic is a wet egg the other pic is of the same egg dry. I think the wet egg is so much prettier than the dry one. Does a hen stop putting so much bloom eventually?

    Hatched from a really dark egg that I was told was a black copper maran egg. So I’m thinking it’s a wheaten Maran. Does anyone have a guess on gender? Hatched April 21st
