I have a white Cochin that I ordered last summer. She went broody about a month ago and has proven to be a great momma. I had ordered a Partridge but it ended up being a rooster. We were very disappointed. I just ordered a all hen hatchery choice order and got a Partridge hen (hopefully). Our...

@KDOGG331 I have both Delaware and Silver Laced Wyandottes from last years order.I have to say Delawares are my favorite. Once they know you bring food/treats, they will LOVE you. My Silver Laced Wyandottes were younger and started on the bottom of the pecking order but I've noticed lately they...

I just hatched a Blue Copper Marans rooster over Barred Rock and here is a Blue male: The dot became more noticeable as he died off more. Here is a Blue Cochin rooster over Barred Rock: He needed to be fully dry to see the tiny dot. But these are only a small hatch so there could be more...

I was just on Meyer Hatchery looking at Olive Eggers. There were a couple reviews that their Olive Eggers were laying blue or brown eggs. Are F1 crosses unpredictable? I have a Blue Copper Marans rooster over a Cream Legbar hen that I plan on selling chicks as Sexlinked Olive Eggers. Should F1s...

Ok, so I hatched out Crested Cream Legbar rooster over Delaware and Silver Laced Wyandotte. They all have straight comb so I'm wondering if maybe I didn't incubate any Wyandotte eggs. Anyways, my question is, do you think I have two boys and the rest girls? My next batch I definitely have...

@donrae I'm actually happy it was a boy. I'm looking to stock my freezer, lol! I have set up two coops that will yield 5 different kinds of Sexlinks/auto sexing birds. Blue Copper Marans rooster over Barred Rock for Blue/Black Sexlinks that lay a brown egg. Blue Copper Marans rooster over...

Oooh! By my point was that I was surprised that she started laying. I figured it'd take longer.

I have three coops. Two in the barn and our Eye Candy coop down by the house. The two in the barn we have been using supplemental light all winter and my hens have been laying pretty consistently. The Eye Candy coop has a mixture of older and younger hens in it and nobody was laying. After I...

I want to thank you! Because of this post I experimented with Blue Sexlinks. I have a Blue Copper Marans rooster over a Barred Rock. I was super excited how easy it was to see the dot on the blue down. Wet/just hatched Dry

Remember when I asked how old your cochins started laying? Well, after putting in a light (I'm in western New York) I started getting eggs! She just turned 6 months. It took a couple days but worth it! I'm so excited!

This is AWEsome! I just learned about the Listerine spray. I have another question. While sitting eggs before incubation, what methods do you use? I know they should be turned and have humidity but trying to figure out the best way. I have a 42 egg incubator.

@oldhenlikesdogs Thanks! I knew that cochins took longer to mature, just wasn't sure how much longer. Ahhh! Darn on the lights, lol! My Blue Cochin rooster is older and I have a Barred Rock in with him. Experimenting to see if the dot on males will still be obvious on blues. So hopefully some...

My Cochin hen turned 6 months recently. With winter in full swing, when should I expect eggs from her? I just put a light in the coop that I keep plugged in from 8 to 8. Hoping to speed things up do I can start hatching!

You'll have to update us when she lays an egg. I'm guessing (amateurly) that they are Olive Eggers. Here are screen shot of some info that might help. Others on here will probably know better than me.

I can't wait to start hatching/brooding soon! This is my BIG boy King!

@BlueJuniper she is striking! She looks like she has crested Legbar in her. Had she laid eggs yet? Blue? Green? Olive?

@BlueJuniper Let's see her!

I'm really excited for my flocks to start laying consistently. Then my incubator will be running non stop for months, lol! Here are my coops and what I'll have available. I already have some orders to fill and will fill pick up orders first. Again I'm in 14701. I have a Blue Copper Marans...

Roosters are tough. Sometimes they're jerks and other times they're awesome. I'm in a hurry but will post tonight more info. I live in Jamestown New York 14701. I'll start hatching soon: Blue / Black Copper Marans Cream Legbars Green egg layers Olive egg layers Mint green egg layers Cochins...
