Okay, I have a Welsummer Rooster that I crossed with one of my americauna hens. My question is, what color of egg with their offsrping lay? Will they be olive eggers or just be a brown layer?
I got these two pullets/roos from a friend and they were supposed to be Americaunas (according to the feed store) but obviously they aren't. Can somebody please tell me what breed they are and if they are pullets or roos? They are about 2 months old.
Does anybody know where I can get some Grey Call Ducklings? I live in Oregon and don't want to pay TOO much for shipping. I don't know anyone near me that has them. Can anyone help??

Chick #2
Chick #3
I got these 3 free chicks with my BCM order from Pine Pride Hatchery. I haven't got a clue what breed they are. Any ideas??
Sorry about the poop, they weren't cooperating;)
Okay, if I have a Marans/Barred Rock roo and cross it with a Splash Marans, will the chicks lay a decent dark egg?
The Marans/Barred Roo is from a Black Marans roo and a Barred Rock hen. Any advice??
I have 32 eggs in my incubator that are due to hatch on the 16th. Well, last night I went in to check humidity and it was unplugged! The temp was at 85 degrees and humidity was up to 70 percent! I know it could have only been that way for 2 hours at the most. Do you think they will be okay?
Is there something I am doing wrong? She is 29 weeks old and hasn't started laying yet! The other chick (olive egger) that was hatched with her has been laying for a month already. Is there something wrong or are they slower to mature? I am getting impatient! I have the most anticipation to see...
Okay I have 15 hens living with one female duck. The duck was hatched by one of the hens. Everyone has got along well and the duck is laying an egg a day along with the chickens. She lives in the same coop and free ranges with the chickens because we have a pond for her. BUT, just in the last...
If I breed my Black Americauna Roo with my Blue Copper Marans hen, what kind of chicks will I end up with? I am new to this but I am trying to get "olive eggers". Is this possible?
I just hatched out an olive egger. It is blue with slate legs. I crossed my black Americauna Roo with a Blue Marans hen. What are the chances that this chick will stay blue?
What color of chicks with I get if I cross my Cuckoo Marans rooster with my splash Marans hen? How about my black marans rooster over splash hens? Is the black going to be dominate? I have 2 Splash Marans hens and a Cuckoo and Black Marans roosters. What can I cross to get a Blue Marans?
This is a hen we purchased with some EE's and obviousley she isn't one, but what is she? She lays a light, cream colored egg and has slate colored legs.
I have an automatic egg turner and was wondering if anyone puts them in egg cartons for the last 3 days to hatch or just take them out of the turner and lay them on the rack? I have only taken them out and layed them on the rack but when a few of them hatch, they run around in the incubator and...
I am not sure if this is the correct section to post this in by here goes.
I have Plymouth Barred Rock hens and I only have an Americauna Rooster for the time being. I was thinking about gathering some of the Barred Rock eggs to hatch. I was curious as to what the chicks would look like and what...
Do ducks lay eggs like chickens or do they only lay one clutch once a year? I am thinking about raising a couple and selling the eggs but don't know if they lay all year or just in the spring. Need duck advice as I have never had them. Thanks
