The first two pictures are of a golden-breasted phoenix/white leghorn affectionately named Duchess, as her sire was named Duke.
This little guy is a golden-breasted phoenix (Duke struck again)/Ayam Cemani cross. His name is Vader and he is fearless.
Okay folks, I hatched out two Ayam Cemani chicks and it looks like they are both little roos! I can only keep one of them. It also looks like I might have two Icelandic Roos as well out of the last hatch. (It honestly looks like most of my hatch were roos... darn it)
I'm gonna have to rehome the...
I have 19 eggs in the incubator and were due to hatch tomorrow. This morning I woke up to 2 Ayam Cemani chicks, 2 BCM, and one Icelandic that were hatched and peeping. 5 others have pipped, so I'm crossing my fingers!
I'm in NEA and I may have some eggs for you that you could use, depending on the amount. They would be Phoenix crossed with leghorns, marans, BO's or fayoumis though. Nothing purebred.
Just had to share this and boy, am I ever ticked off. We've take in a couple of horse rescues (We have a wolfdog rescue as well), but for the first time ever, I received rescue chickens. A family member brought 10 white leghorns from his boss who was "thinning his flock". When they got to me...
She has molted. And she was kind of a golden-y brown, similar to other Welsh harlequin ducklings I have seen. The only difference is that her bill is black.
She was gotten from the feed store out of a group of ducklings from a hatchery. As a duckling, she looked like a Welsh Harlequin. She is on the far left.
I picked up four ducklings this spring from the local feed store. Two ended up being Khaki Campbell males, one is a Cayuga male and then this grey-silvery female. I have no idea what her breed is. I thought when she was a duckling that she was a Welsh Harlequin, but now I'm not so sure. The duck...
This is the uber protective mama. She is hiding the babies to prevent any paparazzi (me) from taking their pictures
After much effort and stalking, I was able to get a picture of one of the babies. The other is to the middle right of the photo, but is hiding in the grass.
I have a very sneaky hen. My phoenix hen, Sunset, disappeared about a month ago. I figured she'd been caught by a predator. Well, guess who shows up at feeding time today? The little sneak has two brownish black little babies trailing after her.
She's tried to hatch out babies before and it...
I just had to share this...
My chickens are all free range and my daughter and I were watching one of the new chickens, a young Kraenkoppe, stalk a frog. When she pounced, my daughter burst out: "That's not a chicken, that's a velociraptor!"
Looking at her, yeah, she reminds me of a little...
The roos I have were raised together and do very well together. They only squabble if the other roo is sighted mating. But they just run the other one off and continue where the other one left off....poor hens.
