    Rumpless Ameraucana

    I bought 12 Ameraucana's from Orschelns (kinda like tractor supply but way more farm/ranch) I ended up with this beauty. She didn't want to sit still. Can an Ameraucana be rumpless or is she an Araucana?

    Questions about adding Black Jersey Giants to an existing flock.

    I have an existing flock of about 40 hens and 2 ginues. I'm thinking about getting a dozen straight run Black Jersey Giants. I'd keep a roo or two and freeze the other roos, the hens would be kept for egg laying. None of my current breeds really are the broody type I would want them to make...

    How can you tell if an egg had froze?

    I found 45 eggs in 2 hidden nest today. I know the float test will tell me if they are good, but does it work for possible frozen eggs? Or will all frozen eggs crack the shell? Any help would be appreciated.

    A scraggly looking hen

    I have one scraggly looking hen of my 58 layers, all are under a year old. I do have a RIR rooster, and I am thinking he's the problem but I dont want to place the blame and cull him if its not him. Most the birds are about 3 months old. This one is an ISA Brown, I think. Any ideas beside it's...

    Rooster??

    Starting to wonder if this RIR is a rooster, about 3 months old. I got the one on the right at the same time. Huge crown and waddles. When do saddle feathers usually come in?
