    What is this bantam?

    Any guesses as to what breed this bantam is? I'm thinking it's a rooster.

    Does anyone have any black copper marans or welsummers in the Bismarck or Minot area?

    Jersey giant?

    I love having a rainbow of eggs in my basket. They taste the same, but it's fun knowing which chicken laid which egg, and I think it's pretty.

    Jersey giant?

    Minorca makes sense. Her comb isn't as big a leghorns. I knew she wasn't a Jersey Giant, she's wsy too petite. I did say I'd accept substitutions, but I thought they'd let me know if they did. Oh, well. She's everyone's favorite. She is so friendly, she thinks she's a person, ha ha.

    Cochin or croad langshan?

    I got it from Murray McMurray Hatchery, along with 35 others, most of which were a mystery exotic pullet collection. It's made IDing most of them a challenge to say the least.

    Jersey giant?

    About 4 months old. I got it (and 3 others like it) from Murray McMurtry hatchery. It *should* be a jersey giant (highly faulty process of elimination), but they're the smallest chickens of the bunch.

    10 week old rooster

    The others I have like this have larger patches of darker red.

    10 week old rooster

    What breed is this? I thought they'd end up being very meaty. They were by far the fastest growing chicks I ended up with. They're still the largest of the bunch. Their legs are huge, but they don't have much meat on them. I'm wondering if it's worth waiting a few more weeks to butcher them, or...

    Whiting true blues. I've never heard of them, so I'll let you know how they work out.

    North Dakota

    I ordered about 25 blue laying chicks that will be here in March. I may have some blue layers to sell in the fall. Nothing sooner. Blue eggs are hard to find here. I have a couple of blue layers and a couple of Olive eggers. I like showing everyone my eggs because nobody around here has seen...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Langshan

    Yep. It really only varied a lot when she first started laying. As she got a little older, it was usually the same, sometimes a little more or less purple, but not speckled anymore. Too bad, the speckles were a pretty intense purple.

    Chicken Breed Focus - Langshan

    I've had one of these, and I loved her! She was HUGE!! And while not the most productive later, her eggs were beautiful and (usually) worth the wait. They varied quite a bit, from a dusty brown to a speckled pink to a true plum. I just ordered more to be shipped in the spring.

    North Dakota

    Abandoned. I expected it. I was waiting for some fertile eggs from a friend, but her chickens quit laying. So I moved my hens from their temporary coop to the permanent coop and she gave up on the fake eggs that she was sitting on. For the best, probably. I have a small 7-egg incubator I'm...

    North Dakota

    It won't be heated, but I do have a designated area for injured hens that I could easily (and safely) add a heat lamp to. I think I'll give it a shot. Best case scenario I'll get a few more chickens that'll start laying next spring. Worst case scenario I'll have the same number of hens that I...

    One of my bantams went broody. Anybody hatch eggs this late in the year with good results, or should I break her of it?

    Another mystery

    I talked to the guy I got her from. It's possibly from a black copper marans rooster and a black Wyandotte hen. But would that be normal for her to look so grey?

    Another mystery

    This chick is supposed to be a black copper marans. I have no idea what she (?) is, though. Almost 7 weeks old. I have no idea what kind of comb, it's practically nonexistent. Slate legs that are lightly feathered. Dark grey possibly penciled feathers. Thoughts?

    Mystery chick

    Update at 3 months. I still can't tell. No hackle or saddle streamers that I can see, but the curly tail is throwing me off. I'd say pullet if it wasn't for that. What do you guys think?
