I picked up this girl in a 4 pack along with two Amerucanas and the Rumpless creature you see in the background. A while after she had been mixed in with my flock (after several weeks of quarantine) I started getting these lovely green eggs! I do have 3 babies that haven't started laying yet but...
I was initially told Barred Rock, then Cuckoo Bluebar....however, looking at those legs I'm thinking just Cuckoo Marans.......? Any sex guesses at this point (I know it's very early)?
Black Copper Marans, honestly don't know the age, only had him a couple days, he's no more than 6 weeks....was supposed to be a pullet, but I have my doubts. I'm not super concerned, I'm guaranteed a refund if not a pullet, and he'll have a good home. Just curious if what I think I see is...
I have two Cream Legbars, 9 months old. They lay me beautiful blue eggs, one usually right around 51-53 grams and the other is generally between 61-65 grams. Imagine my surprise when I got a 96 gram then a 100 gram the next day, both from the 60 gram layer. I’m floored lol! I by no means expect...
I got this girl as an EE, supposedly out of a blue egg from a legbar hybrid and dad is half Marans/half green layer, at 8 weeks. She is my first pea comb so I am completely unfamiliar with their development rate. But now at almost 14 weeks she is much redder and waddlely-er than the other girls...
One of my hens started crowing the other night....she is almost 2 years old, she is a regular egg layer. She is in with a Rooster. I've heard of boss hens stepping up to a rooster role when there isn't a rooster present, but what gives with her? I've been researching and saw that spontaneous sex...
I'm feeling kind of silly about this one.... I got what we thought was a Serama trio: 1 roo, 2 hens, a few weeks ago. They were all about the same age, roo not yet crowing....not super clear on age, but told absolutely no older than 8 months. I'm very new to the breed, not looking to show or...
Please let me know if I should post in a Cream Legbar thread, just didn't want to high jack anyone's post.
Would you agree these are both pullets (2 weeks old)? The one on the left is lighter, but without comparing to the one on the right appears female yes? I will post most pics later, as...
Hi all, so I have two questions (that aren't necessarily related to each other).
1- My 4 Australorps who have just started laying (well at least one has, I'm thinking possibly 2 have started), aren't laying in the nest box. I have gotten 4 eggs, one was just inside the coop door, one was...
A local chicken lady was advertising "easter eggers" for sale. When I inquired about them, she informed me that a neighbor had dropped them off about a month ago, saying that their father was an Araucana and that these chicks should lay colored eggs. I was told they hatched out early April. Upon...
My trio of Australorps, (2 pullets and a cockerel) won't go up into the the nest box/roosting part of the coop. I am having to put them up at night and bring them out in the morning. They are 9-10ish weeks old.... any suggestions?
