    Genetics of Opal Legbar Question

    Hey guys, I've got two opal legbar roosters and one opal legbar hen. I have a dozen cream crested legbar hatching eggs coming in the mail. What I'm curious about is if I cross one of the opal legbar roosters over the cream crested pullets I hatch out is it going to result in split chicks? Per...

    Midnight Majestic Marans color mutation?

    This year I bought three Midnight Majestic "Marans" (MMM), BCM x barred rock hybrid pullets at my local feed store. One of the pullets has the featherless feet, which I know I'd common, but also has a dark comb. Her comb is blackish gray in the shade and almost mulberry in the sunlight. The...

    Stinkubator

    I have a NR360 and recently hatched 3 out of 6 eggs that I had set and that had been viable at lockdown. After the 3 hatched I left the chicks inside until they were dry completely before moving them to the brooder. The other 3 eggs haven't even pipped yet but I'm holding out for maybe some late...

    Hatch day! Quitters?

    So I had 3 of 6 eggs from hatch from a clutch of Marans Eggs today. The 3 that hatched all did so pretty close together. The other 3 I know were fertile at one point. But hatch day has ended and were in moving into day 22. I candled the eggs left when I pulled the live chicks out and I think I...

    Day 11 Random Marans Eggs

    I was given 6 Random Marans Eggs by a local farmer. None of them were of exceptional color, and he didnt specify what kind of Marans they were from. He has black, blue, splash, wheaten, and cuckoo listed on his site. I've seen his pens and they're well organized to keep his lines pure. All I...

    6-8 week old Olive Eggers sexing

    Hey guys, These are my first Olive Eggers. Feathers say pullet to me. Tails, combs, and waddles are hinting me at cockerels. Any opinions are appreciated. Like title says between 6-8 weeks. The "hatchery" had so many in various ages, but lacked organization. The two I'm referring to are the...

    Juvenile Moult? And ID help plz

    I got some chicks from a breeder about 35 mins from me. One of them, estimated at appx 4 weeks old, has already began to moult and drop its chick fuzz in masses. At first the skin looked super dry and my other chicks would pick at it, so I hit it with some blukote and they're now leaving it...

    Age for hatching eggs?

    Hey guys! I was curious if anyone knew about what age I should wait until to attempt to hatch any of the eggs my girls lay. As I understand the first batches of eggs aren't the best for hatching. It's getting late in the year here in Michigan and will probably start getting cold soon, so if I...

    Ouch! Bantam egg

    My bantam laid her first egg today, which is large in comparison to her body. I find it strange my "larger breed" chicken eggs are similar size to the bantam egg. If I'm not mistaken, the first few clutches of eggs for "large breed" chickens are slightly smaller as they need time to mature. This...

    Please, I need advice or hope

    One of my Easter Eggers was attacked by my dog. She lost the front inch or so of her right wing. Bleeding has stopped but the injury is quite severe. As a Paramedic, I'm pretty good at bandaging (humans lol), but have never bandaged anything avian. This pullet is my favorite one so I want to...

    Addition of 4

    Hey guys! I have 4 chicks between 3-4 weeks, closer to 4 weeks to be honest. I was contemplating making a purchase and introducing 2-4 new Ameraucana chicks to the flock.
