Do these guys have white or yellow legs? Pictures seem to look like the birds could have either. I would most definitely be interested in any with longer yellow legs if anyone is looking to sell their non-dumpy birds. These birds are hard to find!!!!!

I've had my crew for a year now and they have proved to be very hardy, super foragers and self sufficient, great layers (about 4-5 eggs per week per hen) and very broody if I don't pick up the eggs daily (however I do prefer to raise the chicks indoors as they seem to be flighty if raised by a...

Have to add that I as well marvel at the breed. I only have 5 hens but get 4-5 eggs each day. Both hens as well as rooster are social and very easy to handle. We butchered 4 cockerels and the meat was plentiful and tasty. Just a polite and beautiful bird to have on the farm. I swapped out...

Yes, I ended up ith 3 cockerels and 3 pullets. I narrowed it to the trio I am going to keep and the others are going to their ne home saturday.Great birds! They come out and roost on me as I clean their cage. They're heading into their actual coop this eekend though. They are far too big to be...

I have a sand floor in my coop. Technically it is a "dirt" floor, but I am in NC and our dirt here is sand. I scoop it everyday with a cat litter scoop. Super easy to clean, I love it. We had some colder nights and I put straw in there thinking it would help with warmth. They did like it...

Thanks! Shame because he is such a sweet bird but he'll have to find a new home eventually then. :(

I got an Easter Egger mixed in with my chick order and am having a hard time telling if it is a roo or pullet. Maybe it is too early to tell as she/he is only 6 weeks old? I can wait it out until I see an egg or hear a crow but was curious if there were any opinions?

Have to jump on and say "hello" and a huge "thank you" as this site has been amazingly informative and educational. I am new to poultry in general and started with Dominique as I knew I wanted a dual purpose heritage breed. I nabbed nine, day old chicks from a local breeder and ended up with 4...
