We have a pair of Lavender orpingtons but the chicks that hatched about 5wks ago were black with yellow belly and a small amount of lavender and now are starting to look like barred rocks. The hen was only with the lavender rooster. The hen does lay blue/greenish egg instead of brown so the lady...

We have a lavender orpington that we are hoping to hatch eggs from. She has laid 10 eggs in the past 12 days, but hasn't started trying to set on them yet. How long should I give her before I remove them? If she doesn't become broody, will the eggs still be good enough to remove and use the...

Hey ya'll, First off, apologies to those tired of my dumb questions. I'm learnin more everyday. Anyways, I'm being offered a black australorp rooster that I'd love to breed with my barred rock hen. My question is (and I know there's no sure fire answer) what would I get if i crossed the...

Just southeast of Asheville....... How many Western North Cackalackians have we got?????????

Howdy folks. The little feller on top of the box in the bottom right hand corner was sold to me as a RIR rooster. Please let me know if that's right. Also, I'm curious at his age, and when/ how I can get him bigger. His legs and feet look like they're destined to belong to a bigger rooster even...

Hey yall I need help identifying the breed of our new addition. Thanks a lot.

Hi, weve got an egg partially hatched. I made the dumb mistake of tryin to help the chick since it was chirping like crazy, and now the membrane is bleeding a little. I think the yolk may have dried up. I need to know if I'm ok to go to bed with it in the incubator to dry out, or if need to...

Aight ya'll, I've got 2 roosters (RIR and Barred Rock), and 3 types of hens (ISA Brown, Black Star, and Barred Rock). What results can I expect by letting all them live (and breed) in the same area? I'm guessing I'd get variations very similar to what I already have (or at least I'm hoping). My...

Just wanted to take a second to talk about a hero here in N Carolina that's passed away this week. Doc Watson amazes me the more I hear and see him. If you get a chance check out "The Three Pickers" on youtube. It's Doc, Earl Scruggs, and Ricky Skaggs. It gives me chills. We've lost a good...
