    Vaccinations and introducing a new bird

    Converting shed to coop

    Hello, We're converting this old wood shed into a new coop. It's much bigger than my current coop and we'll be able to walk inside.

    Crested Cream Legbar markings

    This is Hawkeye. We got her from a Hatchery as a day old chick this past December so she's just about 3 months old now. She is so pretty but I think she has the wrong markings? My understanding is that crested cream legbars shouldn't have those black specks on their breast feathers, right? I...

    Blue Andalusian versus Lavender Orpington chick

    I ordered a grab bag of chicks from a hatchery and they had a list of possibilities which included Blue Andalusian and Lavender Orpington. I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out which breed this particular chick is. Is there a good way to tell them apart at the day old stage?
