Just sharing pics of some of my flock. Took me a good 3-4 days reading about chicken genetics. About 1600+ us dollars investing in hatching eggs and show birds of different breeds and lines, and about 3-4 years of breeding
All worth it.
Here my own "mix" of all blue marans, easter Eggers, and...
Is there anything we can do to make them less skiddish?
All my adults I got when baby baby and they're really docile.
These I got about 2 months ago and they just don't get used to us
yeah her lacing and feathers are si elongated. They don't have that almost fish scale quality to them, butb yeah she's just 3 months old. They're big babies
This is a list of possible breeds from the seller. By y'alls clues I now think its a english silver laced Orphington
Cuckoo Bluebars BB.
Icelandics IC.
S. Barbezeiux B.
Marans
CCL
Easter egger hens
Niederrheiners.
English SILVER laced orpingtons. pavlovskaya.

I love this thread!
I don't have a great camera, but here are three of mine
Vicky - he's supposed to be a blue Cooper Maran
This Becky Easter egger ameraucana
And Oliveñio, an F2 olive egger
I absolutely love my roos.
I have 4 and am going to go pick up another in about an hr.
I have my Maran(Vicky) and Easter Egger (Becky) separate from the flock and my Partridge Plymouth rock/Jersey Giant (Rita) and my speckled sussex (Genoveva) with the flock
In my opinion it's just more...
I know! There are like 5 hawks that flock about in the corn field next to our place. They've been SUPER active.
They mostly keep to the rats in the field, but they creep me out when they fly by.
Gonna set up a nice 60'X30' aviary with old shrimp nets as soon as I can get em
Those Kahki Campbell ducklings!!!♡
@ MissLydia thank you for the reply
Yeah my muscovies are about two years old. They had not been laying til now. None have gone broody.
