    Midnight Majesty? BCM? Black?

    I got this girl along with 3 others from a guy that ran out of room. He gave me an Americana, a RIR, a Silverrudd? Doesn’t really look like a Silverrudd i have seen pictures of but could be wrong, and the one really in question is this Maran he added in. I know MM are a cross and she has really...

    Indio Gigante/Brama Cross?

    Was just wondering if anyone has tried to cross a big Brama with Indio Gigantes to get the tall of Indio Gigante and the thick largeness of a Brama? Not sure if it would work but was curious if anyone ventured down that road or if it would be what I am picturing!

    I have a younger flock of 10 pullets and 3 cockerels in a run beside the big girls’ run. The young ones are around 14 weeks old and the older girls are a little over a year old.

    Plucked Belly, Is She Broody?

    Quick question for you more educated folks! I have a Olive Egger lady, about a year and a half old.. she just stays in the nesting box as much as she can and she isn’t always in the same box and still looks healthy. The boxes stay clean so I know she isn’t like not moving or pooping in there...

    MASS EGG EATING

    I have multiple hens eating eggs every day now. What started as a cracked egg here and there or an empty shell once in a while has turned into a full blown attack on eggs. Like 3-6 eggs a day empty. I changed food in January and we started to see a few empty shells so probably beginning of...

    Full Cream Legbar(s)???

    Getting some eggs that are greener than expected. The first pictured girl of the 3 looks a little lighter brown than the other 2 and wondered to your eyes if they look like they should have laid pretty blue and I was just unlucky!

    Still outsiders?

    I had gotten a breeding pair early-mid August. After a few weeks in a side pen and then a few weeks in a pen inside the run, they have been in with my other 17 hens for about a month now. They still sleep in the run and stay to themselves mostly. Both still get picked on/chased a little bit...

    I may have an almost 6 month old cockerel that is at his last stop if he doesn’t shape up before freezer camp. I am an avid waterfowl hunter but a first time chicken owner.

    I have 17 hens (not all laying yet but close) and 4 identical nesting boxes. This morning I had 2 hens in the 2 outer boxes with 2 in line (seriously in a single file line waiting) for each and another decided the corner of the coop was a nice spot.
