    Columbian Barred Rock? Usually cranky or mine special???

    Any bird is a dual purpose bird when it's time for them to go! But yes, all the breeds you mentioned are dual purpose and should make some great chicken soup. BTW, to be broody does not mean they are cranky and loud. Broodiness is when they tend to nest to hatch their eggs, during which they...

    What breed are these hens?

    Feathers don't look like Silkies. With the slate colored legs, five toes, and top knot, they look like Houdan to me.

    What breed or mixes is my cockerel?

    Definitely not a pure Barred Rock, especially coming from a blue egg. To have a comb and wattle like that, with yellow legs, it is probably a few generations removed from the original blue egg parent. A few different breeds lay blue eggs and many breeds have the barring pattern as well. All...

    Ameracaunas male of female?

    to be true Ameraucanas, both male and female should have tufts and beards.

    Help. Chicken won't open eyes or stand.

    Hard to tell exactly, but based on the description and the last two pictures, where the bird looks ill (hunched up, ruffled feathers, tucked head), it sounds like Coccidiosis.

    Anybody on here attending the RIR Nationals at the Canadian Valley Poultry Show in Oklahoma this coming weekend? I'm looking to buy a good trio from an established line (Nelson, Underwood, Reese, etc.) Thanks!

    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    Crozier Auctions holds a poultry auction at the Coweta Fairgrounds the third Friday of every month. Next one is this Friday, June 16. It starts at 6:00 PM and lasts a LOOOOONG time. They sell "farm-related" goods first, then hatching eggs, then chicks, then adult fowl. I usually show up at...

    Quote: Depending on how colorful: Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock Partridge Plymouth Rock a well-bread Rhodebar One issue you might run into: the hatchery versions of these breeds will lay the number of eggs you're looking for, but they might not gain the size you're looking for. Standard...

    Well, I'm not NanaKat, but thought I might weigh-in on what works for us. We use plastic gallon size ice cream buckets. I never throw them away. This allows you to add a little water first thing in the morning. Then, a few more times throughout the day as it freezes, add more water on top of...

    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    Does anyone know if results for the show have been posted yet? A friend told me that a RIR won best of show LF. But I didn't even see any RIR there, which was surprising. Did I miss them somehow? Unfortunately I had to leave early to meet up with family in OKC. BTW, it was great to meet...

    Delawares from kathyinmo

    I also noticed the males matured quicker than the straight Delaware males. However, after 8 months of age, their weight leveled off more than I was anticipating.

    I buy at Atwoods and mix my own. Atwoods has a 13% or 14% all stock pellet for around $7.00/ 40# bag. Sometimes it's even cheaper. Since it's not a layer ration it lacks the calcium and other ingredients that go into the layer ration. I use it for the easy protein. I add game bird ration...

    Delawares from kathyinmo

    I've done this cross. I did it for the reasons you've mentioned. My NH hen had a fuller bowl shape to her chest than my Del females. The only negative I've noted in the first generation might be some additional brassiness in the males, which is probably the biggest risk given that Delaware...

    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    If anyone is interested, I have an Australorp rooster - free to a good home. He's about 8 months old. I got him from a friend who's kids were "done" with their 4-H project. He's large, healthy and not aggressive. I'm not up on the Standard of Perfection for Australorps, but he looks like a...

    Yes, the NPIP blood test only screens for two diseases. But if your flock is NPIP, you are not allowed to obtain birds from a non-NPIP flock. That was my point.
