We have a broody "olive egger".. We mixed an easter egger with buff brahma. now it wants to sit on eggs. The problem is it doesnt want to be in a nest box, it wants to be behind the coop, inside of a barn. Obviously with raccoons this is not good. We dont care if she wants to sit on some eggs...

Often "blue" chickens hatch out either black or splash.. My question is if i breed 2 black chickens that are a "blue" breed, do they still have the potential to produce actual blue offspring or has the blue gene left the building? For instance, if i mix my blue andelusion and my blue...

As i understand it, when breeding blue chickens there is a high probability that the chicks will hatch and be black.. If you breed with the resulting black chicken, can she still produce blue chickens or would all her chicks just be black as well?

We decided we have the time and space to have another flock of a single breed. Someone suggested if we were going to breed a single breed we should consider an endangered breed.. After discussing it we agree that that would be a good way to go. My question is, what are considered "endangered...

We made it to lockdown. On a whim we put 5 random eggs from our flock in our brinsea mini advance.. Day 4 candle had 3 developing good and 2 doing nothing.. We opened them and found one was not fertile and one had a broken yolk.. No biggie, we only wanted a couple anyway.. Around day 10 power...

Here we go again. In the spring we hatched our first batch. Only 7 as we have a Brinsea Mini Advance.. Which is perfect for our backyard flock of around 20..

This gentlemen had to get rid of his flock. He is now on probation. And he has jail time held over his head. Why? Because he had 11 chickens... His neighbors said chickens stink and attract rats and mice http://m.freep.com/localnews/article?a=2013307070062&f=1232

Well, our very pretty pullet easter egger started crowing this morning.. Apparently she isnt a she anymore.. Awesome.. Cant wait to get him on some hens so we can hatch him into the mix... Shame he is only 2.5 months

This is our meyer mealmaker.. We were thinking possibly a leghorn.. Then the legs went green and she grew a beard.. We've never seen an all white EE before.. Is that what this is??

Had high hopes for our buff brahma rooster... Shame he has now officially attacked every member of my immediate family... Time to put him down.. Luckily we got his welsummer replacement about a month ago.. Poor kids are scared to go outside

Our first attempt at hatching... Day 19.5 we have 5 out of 7 pipping... Mini advance bator... Is it normal to start pipping so early?? Either way, we are stoked

Lets stop calling them GMO's .. Maybe if we start calling them GMOC's people will start paying attention because genetically modified organic cancer is an attention grabber and there really is no reason we have to call it what the poison company calls it Down with GMOC's!!!!!! Its not like we...
