    Inherited rooster crow.

    Hi all, I saw a video of a grey Junglefowl rooster crowing and it sounds nothing like a red Junglefowl or any other rooster I've ever heard. Can a quieter or shorter crow be bred into a line or is it too unpredictable to breed for? The grey Junglefowl crow I heard sounds like any other forest...

    Cross-breeding for egg production

    Hi all, I'm just wondering about cross-breeding heritage breeds to increase egg production. If you put a rooster from a breed with higher egg production over a hen with less will it increase the egg production of the offspring? If so will it be by much? I have some Hyline hens and am not chasing...

    Motherwort for stuck egg?

    Hi all, I was reading about Motherwort last night and it was saying it can increase contractions during childbirth. Has anyone used it on a hen with a stuck egg or do you think it could be used for this? We just gave a magnesium bath to one of 1st year layers who hasn't laid for a while. She...

    General chicken conformation

    Morning all. I have read a few breed standards and have looked at a heck of a lot of photos and videos of different breeds of chickens since catching the bug and there's plenty of shapes and sizes of bird out there. I noticed a lot of the dual purpose or land race breeds have similar body shape...

    Please help me understand.

    Hi everyone, I have a question for all you lovely North American people and this is in no way a judgement on how your system works over there. First of all I am Aussie and still fairly new to chickens. I have joined this forum and also follow a lot of chicken social media pages. I have seen a...

    Olive Welsummer pullet egg

    G'day everyone, We just had one of our pullets who we bought as a pure Welsummer lay her 1st egg. It's a lot smaller but it is also an olive colour not dark brown like I thought they were meant to be. She looks like a Welsummer to me but is it possible she could be a cross? Or can pullets lay...

    Blue Laced Barnevelder

    Can anyone give me the perfect "recipe" to breed Blue Laced Barnevelders? I have read on a website/blog that a Splash rooster over a Double laced hen worked well. I have also read that because the blue colour is a dilution then a blue over blue won't always breed true and getting good lacing in...

    What colour is Henry?

    I'm still new to all the chicken colour variations but I was wondering if our Henry is any specific colour or being a cross there's no true definition? The colours I see are silver/blue with red leakage(?). He's a Wyandotte/Barnie cross but never saw his parents.

    Is Henrietta really a Henry?

    Hi everyone, I'm very new to the whole chicken sexing idea so I would appreciate any help identifying my "pullets" gender. We bought H as a pullet but I was starting to worry as her comb is getting longer and seems to be bossier and more adventurous then the older pullets we have. Breed is a...

    G'day everyone!
