Yes, he is dark! Looks like he has a nice straight comb too. That is something I need to work on - adding it to the list! Haha the never ending list! It's hard to get good pictures during the winter so most of mine are from fall. I went to get a few this weekend and found the girls decided they...

This is the blue cockerel I used and one of the blue hens.

Hi, I am working on my blues. I hatched blues and blacks out of a blue cockerel over my two blue and two black hens. But, I ended up with mostly black chicks and am trying to figure out if I want to keep any of the blacks or maybe set another batch and then keep all the blues. I am happy with...

Here is the second photo, doesn't show up on my other post

First hatch out of my own birds this past weekend! 10 of 11 made it out! I am interested to know if blacks turn out better from chicks with darker coloring or with more yellow on the face? Or does it seem to not make a difference? [/IMG]

Thanks! I appreciate it. Sometimes it's so hard to pick from you own birds when you see them every day. I appreciate the feedback.

Hi everyone, not enough coops and too many cockerels. I let them grow out as long as I could and now I need to make a decision . I am favoring the darker Blue - he has a better pea comb and like his overall shape more. However the lighter blue color of the second guy is my preference. His comb...

I have no idea who laid it. But I'm trying to keep a closer eye in case another pops up..

All of my pullets are around 7 months. That's the first she'll less egg I have gotten and there haven't been any since thankfully. I'm hoping it's a glitch - everyone seems healthy and happy. No messy butts or anything. Crossing fingers

I got another first today. Has anyone seen this??? It's was a shell less egg. But inside was a shriveled yolk, very thick gel light white and this HUGE LONG HARD WHITE tube looking thing. Gross..

Thanks! I was surprised that it was this big. I thought it would be smaller .. Poor girl lol

It certainly did! 11 more girls we are still waiting on. Can't wait to check tomorrow. And boy were they making a lot of ruckus, I couldn't have missed it if I tried!

First egg arrived on Easter!! I can't believe it!!!!

So you have seen this before?

Hi everyone, what do you think about this? I looks like the image of a sperm!!! What the heck! I poked a hole in the bottom and emptied the egg so I can save it. The funniest part is that this came from a carton of at the store and not from my chickens! [/IMG]

Thanks, I will look into the blackhead and see if it is common in my area. I also have mostly sandy soils but I own about two acres of swamp as well. I do not use medicated feeds or antibiotics and only worm occasionally as it seems needed. Thank you for the advice about the worms and I will...

Hi everyone, this is my first time on this thread. Thank you for sharing all of this info. My husband and I have slowly started expanding on our land and are now considering adding turkey and or geese for meat. I'm wondering if you all have photos of housing you have built for them as well as...
