    Americauna and Black Australorp - color of eggs??

    I know that our 2 Americauna lay blue eggs and the 4 Australorp should be laying brown eggs, but some strange things seem to be happening. The BA started laying in the beginning of Sept 2012. I was really expecting to have a lot more eggs from them by now, since they are known as good layers -...

    Trying to determine the gender of this Black Australorp

    Thanks for the input. I didn't realize that the girls' tails could differ that much. :) I'll have to do some research on the difference between a rose comb and a straight comb! lolaeve, I'd love to find out what yours turns out to be. Do you have any pictures?

    Trying to determine the gender of this Black Australorp

    We special ordered 5 Black Australorp pullets back in April, and they are now 10-11 weeks old. We've only ever had hens in the past, so I'm not experienced with what roosters look like as they are growing. One of ours has a tail that is very different from the rest. Kinda sticks up in straight...

    What breed is this chick?

    Do any of you have experience with the personalities of Dominigue and Black Sex Link? Like I mentioned we've only ever had Barred Rock since we started keeping chickens 4 years ago. I looked up pictures of Black Sex Link chicks and it looks like only the males have the spot on the head. Oh no...

    What breed is this chick?

    I'm kinda hoping it's just a different looking Australorp. We've only ever had Barred Rocks and we were looking forward to trying something new. Oh well, a mix of both would be something new! Thanks!!

    What breed is this chick?

    Yesterday we picked up 5 Black Australorp chicks that we ordered through our local farm supply store. We quickly noticed that 4 are very similar to each other with a lot of yellow and white on their chest and underside and all around their eyes. The 5th one looks different and does not have much...

    Barred Rock or Black Australorp?

    We currently have 5 Barred Rock hens (almost 1 year old) in our fenced-in backyard. From everything I've read, I thought that this breed would do well with our 4 young kids. The kids love the chickens, especially our 1-year-old. Over the past few months, several of hens have gotten much more...
