Once again, just one example of the hundreds of bloopers you capture to get juuuuust the right photo to enter in the BYC annual calendar contest.
🤫I really think they should offer a bloopers calendar…
🤣
So, my question is not about hackles, saddles, tails…but about male specific color and pattern on EEs.
I’ve read about “patchwork” patterns and red feathers, can you post a few pictures of examples? And is this evident as soon as juvenile feathering replaces down, or “teenage”/adult feathering...
In a recent order from Cackle Hatchery I got several EE pullet chicks. They hatched out 11 Jul, it’s now 28 Jul so they are coming up on three weeks old. (Great experience with Cackle, BTW, this is not a complaint!).
My question is regarding one of the chicks. It is about 1/3 the size of her...
Two salmon faverolles sold as pullets at Tractor Supply. Hatched out 4 July. We’ve named them Liberty and Independence…Libby and Indy😁
Chick A is smaller, chick B is larger. The most dramatic difference I see is the primary wing feather growth and tail feather growth. No noticeable personality...

They are eating organic 21% starter mash from Mile Four, I’ve got them started on horizontal nipple waterers.

I’m guessing this BR cutie is five weeks old, originally had a small, defined yellow dot on it’s head. At two weeks old had a very minimal yellowy/peachy comb, dark wash on legs, darker feathering-more black than white barring. Trusted it was a girl, now…it’s the boldest chick in the pen, the...
One roo and three hens, hatched March 2021. Two hens are laying. The roo is NOT aggressive, lovely boy, truly a gentle giant, he weighs just over 7 pounds at 5 months old. Does not crow a lot (relatively speaking😁), and takes very good care of his ladies.
They are comfortable around dogs and...
Hello everyone!
I have an 18 week old dark Brahma pullet that is squatting for our roo, I’ve seen him mount her and complete what looks like a successful breeding. Her comb and wattles are darker and larger than her same age “sister-wives”. I’ve included a of her head (Horse) and one pic of the...
Could anyone who is using Purina Flock Raiser Pellets post a picture of the ingredients? I know that they may vary from location to location, mill to mill. No local (within 150+ miles) feed store carries it so I’d need to special order. Don’t want to do that without even a finger to the wind...
Sigh…lovely day outside today, thought I’d try to take some nice pics of our 9 week old dark brahmas. Don’t know if I’d be as willing to do this if I actually had to pay for film and developing like we did in the good old days! 😂
So how many “waaaaay to close”, how many “turned at just the wrong...

(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 4 dark brahma pullets, one roo, four guineas.
(3) What breeds do you have? Dark brahma and pearl...
