Good evening and merry Xmas to all my chicken friends. I'm hoping to figure out what this BYM chick may be. The only rooster I have is a Golden Comet/Red Sex Link. The possible hens would be White Rock, Speckled Sussex, Welsummer, Brown Leghorn, or Production Red. Unfortunately, I didnt see this...
Hello chicken people :)
I'm curious what methods you would use to create a Naked Neck version of a standard breed while maintaining the overall integrity and conformation of said breed. (Aside from the missing neck feathers of course)
In this case, I would like to create a line of birds that...
Hi friends! I've been playing with the chicken calculator and am starting to get the hang of it. I'm curious about a few potential crosses I'm planning.
First is Welsummer × Hatchery Red Naked Neck
What color pattern could I expect in the offspring? Is the "wild-type" coloring of the Welsummer...
Post title pretty much says it all. Looking to add some fresh blood to my existing flock. Not worried about adherence to standard coloration. Just looking to build a productive, diverse, and dual purpose flock of Naked Necks. If you could reply with pictures of your flock I'd greatly appreciate...
Good afternoon,
I've been wanting to start a bantam breeding project for a while now. I know I could just buy some mille fleur oegb, but that would be too easy! Would it be possible to create my own line using Spangled oegb and Black Tail Buff Japanese bantam? I'm not necessarily looking for...
Good morning and thanks for the add. I will be visiting family in the Muscle Shoals area next week from the US Virgin Islands. I haven't had great luck with hatching shipped eggs from the US mainland, so I'm hoping to buy some to bring home with me while I'm in town. I'm not really looking for...

Could anyone help with an ID of this rooster? I think he is a game breed but I don't know anything about that. He came with these year old hens which I also would appreciate an ID on. They lay a variety of brown shades, some speckled, some almost pinkish hue. Unfortunately he passed away, but I...
Where I'm located I haven't been able to source pigeon-specific feed. I keep a loft of feral birds and their offspring, which have free access to my farm at all times. They do a great job and cleaning up spilled chicken feed, grain and other things they forage in the surrounding area, but I want...
Good morning,
I would like to get into raising a utility breed, however there are no breeders anywhere near me. Would anyone here be willing to sell a few utility pigeon hatching eggs? My loft currently has 12 pairs of ferals who are constantly nesting, so I would allow one of my pair to raise...

Hi everyone. My husband was recently commissioned by a member of our local department of Agriculture to recreate one of our quail pens to be used to house several beeding pairs of bantam chickens. I was sure the cages would be too small for the chickens, but he assured me the chickens were tiny...
Hello, this is my first post so I'm not certain about the formatting. 😁
I live in the USVI on the island of St. Croix. We have a healthy population of wild/feral chickens that occupy much of the island, ranging from rainforest to city dwellers. I recently started collecting chicks across the...
