    Blue/Black/Splash - is one more likely to lay blue eggs?

    We are doing a 4-H breeding project using Hoover’s new Prairie Bluebell hybrid (Araucana x Leghorn). They lay a blue egg and have Oo egg color genetics. I’ve got a blue roo that will be over blue and splash hens. This will produce BBS offspring. In theory 75% will lay blue eggs and 25% will...

    Injuries (pics) - Was my dominant hen dethroned?

    My 9 month old Barred Rock hen, Paisley, has always been high in the pecking order and became dominate hen when our rooster died. I went into the coop this morning and she was lying down, relaxing in the shade. When I let the flock out to free range at 2 pm, she was still lying down and didn’t...

    Sex of this Whiting True Blue Chick? (Pics included)

    When a Cream Legbar pullet died 4 hours after pick-up, the breeder replaced her and gave me a Whiting True Blue chick for free. This is my first one of the breed and I was wondering if the wild type female traits also hold true for Whiting True Blue chicks? (Defined point on head, black...

    Buff Orpington Rooster x Golden Lace Wyandotte Hen cross pictures

    I've got this cross in my incubator at the moment and I know it will be a sex link but I’m wondering if anyone has pictures of chicks or adults from this specific cross? I’ll add my own pictures to this thread when they are hatched but that will take a while!

    Does time of day when setting eggs to incubate make any difference?

    I’m starting my first incubation tomorrow! (Nurture Right 360 Bator has been on & tracked for days. Temp & humidity holding great!) Does the time of day that I set my eggs in the incubator matter all that much? If I set them in the morning do they tend to pip the morning of day 21 or is it a...
