My Jubilee Orpington hens just getting over molt.

I just thought I would post a picture of interesting cross. This is a Jubilee x Buff Orpington pullet. She is red with white mottling. Most of the Jubilee x Buff Orpington mixes I get are either Red or Buff with no mottling at all. She is definitely a one of a kind.

I have 2 mottled Java pullets and 2 mottled Java cockerels. I got them from a breeder local to me as baby chicks back in the beginning of June. The pullets are all black and the cockerels black with buff leakage. I was told by the breeder that they mottling pattern would get better as they age...

Here's some pictures of my very rare Mottled Javas. They are about 6 weeks old. I looked online to see if it's possible to order these. They are hard to find online. I got them from a breeder in Vestaburg, Michigan. The funky chicken hatchery. Looks like I got 2 cockerels and 4 pullets. 2 out of...

I have 2 pictures of my incubator. It is a $85 Chinese eBay incubator that holds 48 eggs, automatic egg turning trays and has a fan. My hatch rates are not very good like less than 50% I have a mercury thermometer that I bought from Tractor Supply it's a Producers Pride brooder thermometer. I...

I sold standard size Cochin hatching eggs this year and it was a mixed bag. I had a few customers with success but they have top of the line incubators. I sold some hatching eggs to inexperienced people, they didn't have any hatch and they claimed that my hatching eggs are junk. I'm not selling...

Ok we have a Jubilee Orpington rooster we got him about 1 year ago. We were told he was around 6 months old when we purchased him making approximately 1.5 years old. Last summer we hatched several chicks from him mostly barn yard mixes and jubilee/buff Orpington mixes. This year we have 2...

I'm looking for a breed of chicken that is standard size, lays brown eggs and is clean legged that I can order from one of the big hatcheries like Hoover or Town line that has the tendency to go broody. No bantams or breeds with leg feathers. Comb type and color doesn't matter. Who here has...

I bought this cheap Chinese no name brand incubator from eBay and I'm trying to calibrate the temperature. I watched a YouTube video about incubators and this guy recommended the Govee brand thermometer/hygrometer. He said it's the most accurate thermometer/hygrometer out there. My cheap eBay...

Most people want pullets when they buy baby chicks. So I came up with a idea for a new business adventure. I will start a hatchery and my moto will be that all the chicks for sale will be pullets. I will even guarantee all chicks sold are pullets and buy back all roosters if I'm wrong. The...

I have 15 Standard size Cochin hens and 1 Standard size black Cochin rooster. Colors are Blue, Black and Splash. One of them went broody last summer and I let her some eggs. One of the chicks that hatched ended up being a Silver laced Wyandotte-Jubilee Orpington cross(from a different coop)...

I have a chicken coop with 14 Large Fowl Blue/Black/Splash Cochin hens and 1 Black Cochin rooster. Well over the summer I let them go broody and raise chicks. I have another coop with a mix of different breeds. I had a Cochin go broody last May. When I gathered the Cochin hatching eggs to set...

Ok I want a brown egg laying, large dual purpose meat/eggs breed, clean leggs(no feet feathers)and has the trait to brood chicks. Currently I have large fowl Blue/Black/Splash Cochins that meet all most of the requirements above. Except they have feathered legs. 2 years ago I had 8 hatchery...

Hey everyone I have a Orpington breeding project I'm working on. I bought a Jubilee Orpington rooster 2 months ago and I didn't have any Jubilee Orpington hens. So I traded a dozen of my large fowl Blue/Splash Cochin eggs for a dozen Jubilee Orpington hatching eggs. Out of the 1 dozen Jubilee...

We have some rooster issues. We have a coop with large fowl blue and splash Cochins. We let the hens go broody in the coop and raise chicks with the flock. Our first Cochin rooster was good with the hens but attacked humans. So we butchered him and got a new Cochin rooster. This rooster doesn't...

I gave away a Blue Amerucana rooster about 2 months ago and just got a Jubilee Orpington rooster on April 24th almost 2 weeks ago. He is in a coop with 11 hens. Do any of you guys have any idea how long it will take for all the eggs out of the coop to be fertile from the new Jubilee Orpington...

I have done a lot of research over the years and after breeding chickens for things like egg color and broodiness I would like to finally try breeding a meat hybrid cross. I know that I will never get the growth rate of a Supermarket Cornish broiler. I want to breed a meat hybrid that will give...

I built a homemade self serve honor system egg selling shack and put it out in front of my house. It is just big enough to hold a mini fridge and a lock box to put money in. I also made a "Eggs for sale" sign and put it by the road. I have been selling eggs for $1 a dozen since I built it about...
