I want to keep the hens for eggs & use the roosters for meat. I was horrified when I found out what hatcheries do to the male chicks, plus I like how this is more self sufficient. I was wondering how various breeds stacked up in terms egg laying, taste, etc. I'm interested in helping out a rare...

If I have a broody hen hatch & raise chicks, can I take them, vaccinate them, and put them back?

I have seen both colors explained as dun + blue. What is going on?

I have a Polish/Spanish Arabian mare, Icy Topaz, thirteen years old & 14.1hh. She's had two foals before, with a different owner. Her sire is Aicying (at least, that's what her dam's owner said to the riding stable I purchased her from. The sire's owner, she said, refused to recognize Topaz due...

I have a Spanish/Polish Arabian mare I want to breed. I'll dig up her papers for her dam, but her sire is Aicying. I was looking at this stallion from Cameo Springs,http://www.horseclicks.com/standing_2012_dapple_dark_grey_eskont_x_wma_gokart/advert/158054 He's close (ish, about seven hrs...

I have heard two different opinions on seramas: a) they are so delicate they must be kept inside b) they are quite hardy and can be kept outside with plenty of bedding to cuddle down in and extra corn/seeds when it's cold, in a good draft-free coop of course also the square footage for a...

http://www.svfrenchbulldogs.com/ I'm thinking about the silkies mostly... do these look like good quality? I want SQ and I want to breed them. Not very confident about choosing Seramas yet, I just discovered them and now I MUST have some. These people are almost close to me. Thanks!

I have a pretty little d'uccle hen from the feed store that looks like a gold neck but she is a yellow color. What genes does she have and could she be used to create lemon millies? Or is she just a 'hatchery quality' gold neck? I love her color & want to know if I can make more or even some...

Are there lemon millie fleurs in the USA?

I'd really like a pic of a khaki quail d'anver hen and one of a rooster. I cannot find a mature hen pic anywhere. I'd like more pics of dun too, but it's khaki i cannot find. Also, is khaki a solid color or more like splash?

So the chicken genetics calculator has a pattern called 'Partridge' (e^b/e^b) and a pattern called 'Partridge Multiple Laced' (e^b/e^b with Pg/Pg (laceing)). I've always called the Partridge Multiple Laced pattern just 'Partridge'. Is there a less wordy name for the pattern? Penciled? Should it...

I found this pullet egg in the coop today. It is her second egg, but the first one wasn't bloody. I've never had this happen this before. Is it just a thing that can happen to pullet eggs ocasionally? Or is it serious? Please excuse the dirt, i'm talking about the red drops. first pic shows...

I was messing around on the genetics calculator and 'created' this by putting lavender on gold laced. I think it's so pretty...has anyone ever seen it on a real chicken? If I had the resources I'd try my hand at this lavender patterned isabel laced with some orpingtons. Anybody want to do it for...

I'm looking for a breeder of black ameraucanas with a nice egg color, no agressive roos, good(ish) layer, show quality, etc. If you breed them, know someone that does, purchased some and would recommend them..please post!!! Please no b/b/s, just black. Hatching eggs preferred. Thanks!!!

My little lavender OEG bantam rooster has red tips on his wings. About half an inch of the longest wing feather on either side is 'dyed' red. He was all purpley-gray when i left two weeks ago. Now he looks like he dragged his wings through blood. Is this normal?

What's the easiest color of Ameraucana to breed? Does one tend to have more blue-ish eggs, lay better, or have a friendlier personality?

I was thinking about getting the silver penciled rocks from mcmurray with my red stars and golden laced cochin bantams- has anybody purchased them before? I would like to hear about your experience and/or see pictures, bantams or LF. Thanks!
