We are looking into moving to Mexico. Not sure where yet maybe Puerto Escondido. I'm already missing my chickens! I know I will be able to get some there but I would love to know if I can choose the breeds I like and have an idea in advance of where I might get them. Anyone have ideas??
Hatched March 1, 2012. So about 20 weeks old now. Old English game bantam cockerels 2 available. They are tiny will get to be about 24 oz. Wish I could keep them they are sweet boys. Started crowing at 8 weeks! My girls started laying at 18 weeks. I have 4 and I'm keeping 1 have a home for 1...
My broody was sitting on some Marans eggs and a few from my mixed flock. Could this be a Marans chick?
(not sure what color Marans but the eggs were dark) I would rather not pick her up yet to see which egg is gone.
I love taking pictures of my chickens they can make nice greeting cards or framed art. There are not that many listed on etsy

Does anyone have experience with using pumpkin seeds for worming? I don't see any signs of worms but I know that sometimes they can get bad before you can see any signs. I don't want to use chemicals/ medicine that will mean I have to discard eggs, if I'm not sure they even have worms.
Approximately what age would be best for processing Dark cornish? Roos and hens. I have a trio not 100 % pure they have some EE but they look just like dark cornish and I'm thinking about hatching a batch from them for meat. I hear they are tasty
Looks like a roo to me but his pea comb is tiny legs are long but in between in width, not as thick as my known roos but thicker than some of the hens the same age It is an EE mixed with who knows what, maybe RIR. pretty chocolate color.
Here is a hatch mate roo with a developed pea...
I know to watch for orange on shoulders and back but I'm not understanding the exceptions. I have 2 that look a lot like this one. They are EE mixes maybe some RIR in there. 5-6 weeks old As a chick it was chipmunk patterned.
Thanks again for your help I'm learning a lot!!
Hoping this one might give me some eggs!!! 5-6 weeks old Color is mostly dark chocolate. On the smallish side compared to the hatchmates.
Thanks for your help!
p.s. Anyone else having trouble with the website today? pages don't want to load.
This EE mix chick was the first of 10 to feather out in her wings and tail so I thought for sure it was a girl. the comb is a pea comb.
5 to 6 weeks now
What do you think?? Thank you for your help!
I really like this little sweetie but wish I could tell if it's a roo or not. Came from a green egg and his daddy I was told was a EE too but the whole hatch of ten looks quite mixed to me. Some have straight combs maybe 3 have pea combs
I know the white one is a Roo
as a chick in the...
I have my first broody hens (3 at once) sitting on a total of 11 eggs some are EE some Australorp. and a few mixes 21 days will be up for 8 of them this thursday and the rest Saturday I'm guessing, because my Silkie took a few days to settle down after I moved her when I first got the fertile...
