This is a flock that's been a long time in the making for me. I finally have black Ameraucanas, Black Copper Marans, and Salmon Faverolles.
I also have some fun mixes, a few I engineered myself for myself and a few I bought.
The BCM/Faverolles mixes are absolutely cute and I love them. One...
Hi! Just wondering if you wise chicken tenders know what color this little bird is. I actually have four that are the exact same mix and all turned out just like this.
Does anyone know what color this is?
I was told if I bread a Salmon Faverolles to a Black Copper Marans that likely I would get all black chicks.
Which is what I wanted because darker colored birds are harder to see for predators.
When they hatched, I thought they were all black but now...
Hi! It's been a while since I've been here! Hope you all are doing well.
I have a question about lavender Ameraucanas. Well, a few questions, actually.
I bought what I thought were black Ameraucanas and ended up with a few lavender. I hope I got at least one black hen, but I'm not sure that...
So I posted last week about my little chick that was the only one that hatched out of somewhere like 12 or 13 eggs (sorry don't remember how many there were). Anyway, poor Uno was born with splay leg and a curled foot. I did not know what to do. I eventually found advice that told me how to...
Hello good forum,
Here looking for advice.
Uno is a cuckoo Marans chick. She is so named because she is the only one to hatch. She has curled toes and splay leg.
Fortunately, she's making a turn around, because I used an internet trick to help her toes uncurl and also her splay leg.
She's...
Hello!
I apologize for the post if this has been discussed. I have 7 bantam cochin hatching eggs in the incubator.
I've heard bantam eggs can hatch early. Is this true?
Hi!
Splash Marans Rooster for re-home.
Pros: Good flock protector. Sweet to me. Came from pretty dark brown eggs and is purebred. He's sweet to his favorite hen.
Cons: Does not do well with children or bantam/small birds. He aggressively chases and will attempt to flog, but barely has spurs...
I have a Splash/Copper Marans rooster who I don't want to re-home, but I am starting to think it might be best. I'm looking for advice and input.
He was hand raised. He's 9 months old and probably because it's breeding season, he's been Hell on Wheels for the rest of the flock.
He is hard on...
Hi!
USA here.
So we've been planning our flock for a year now and we're at a point where we decided to add four more birds for various reasons, egg color, broodiness, etc, just stuff our flock was missing that we wanted. We just want layers not meat birds.
One of the birds is a silver Dorking...
