    Two Eggs, One Day.

    This morning there were no eggs. I know because I checked, anxiously awaiting her to start laying. Walked by at two o'clock and there are two eggs. Have seen this many times before, and have been told that it wasn't possible. Hen in a pen by herself, none loose. Just thought I'd document it.

    How does spangled work?

    I have some spangled games. This would be called jubilee in orpingtons, or speckled sussex coloration. Not black spangles, but white. Wondering how it works genetically.

    Skunk vs. Asil

    Skunk burrowed under the horizontal apron screens extending for two feet around one of my portable pens. I was alerted by the dogs, (being hounds, they were kenneled) went out and couldn't find anything, but I could smell him. Heard a squawk and heard a chicken handing out blows. When I looked...

    What would you call this color?

    Black spangled pumpkin? Red quill? Partridge black red? Mom is Ga Noi/wheaten American game, Dad is BBR Asil. His back is the color of his hackle, Picture doesn't do it justice if you see him in the sun.

    Cackle OEG standard fowl.

    These are some Old English Games from Cackle. Any Ideas on variety? I think they are the same, and the bottom one is a hen. Are they silver duckwing (grey) or Crele? or something else ? They are about 6 weeks old.

    What is this?

    I found this while web surfing. Now a must have for my flock! Definitely an Oriental fowl of some sort. Could be a result of feeding GMO corn! (just kidding)

    Waiting for the eggs!

    So I got some TSC pekins at the end of march. One of the tasty drakes made it to my avatar. I now have some hens and 1 drake. He is breeding them. Every day I look for eggs, they are in a large pen. Am I wasting my hopes. Will they wait 'til about Feb., or am I going to get some eggs soon. I...

    New to site!

    Longtime lurker. Have owned a sportsman incubator and hatcher for several years now. Lets just say we've hatched out a bunch of stuff just to see what it would look like. Pretty big into the swap circuit, but mainly keep a flock of something for eggs and a pen of something for the freezer. Can't...
