    What breed is this little fuzzybutt

    I grabbed a little chick like this from the Rainbow Layers bin at the feed store a couple of years ago. I couldn't stand to wait and see what it was so i emailed the hatchery a pic and they told me it was a Sicilian butter cup.

    Got some mystery chicks!

    I got 8 black sex links from orscheln's yesterday. There were at least 25 of them in the cage and I just randomly grabbed eight chicks that had clean bottoms, upon closer examination at home I did end up with one chick that was quite a bit more reddish/brownish than the others. It's similar...

    Thank you a bunch for your replies. I had searched but was having trouble finding info about how the breed works in something beside a tractor and I didn't know if it was too early in the year to squeeze this in so I threw this out there. I appreciate the input! We will make something work

    Raising Replacement layers

    Ridgerunner: Thank you so much for the great answer to my wonderings....it makes good sense to me. I wouldn't have thought about moving the molters out to the tractor while the new girls get started laying. It will take some practice to get all that timed. You also confirmed what I had...
