I think I may have just adopted a breeding pair of cuckoo marans. Any ideas or comments about breed standard. I've just seen a lot of darker cuckoo maran hens than this one. And the rooster has some gold tint to his back. Does this make him part golden cuckoo? I just got them today, so I can't...
picked up 10, day old pullets, a while ago, but...one is not turning out the same. It's been a runt since day 1. It looks more like a bantam. I'll show the comparison between them.
I got a group of day old barred rocks. And they are growing up to be.. well.. barred rocks. Accept one. Has been a runt since day one and more resembles a bantam.
I figured it out after going on welp. The cockerel is a gold neck d'uccle and the 2 pullets(one is not in the picture) are White d'uccle. Only used to seeing mille fleur d'uccles. So I'm super excited about these rescue birds. I have to build them their own mini coop and run.
Yeah, they are all bueutiful and I want to hatch more when they're older to share with everyone. Just trying to decide on the right roo to bring it back to more of its original lineage. Araucauna maybe?
I'm building seven 14x8 breeder pens with 4x8 roost and nesting boxes for rare breeds, all standard size. I'm hoping to have 5 hens and 1 roo in each does this sound right?
I purchased 10 "americaunas" from a local feed store that are starting to vary widely in color. Any suggestion on color of Americauna rooster to be purchased and where?
I adopted these three chicks today. I was told they are bantams. Can someone please hepl me identify these cute white , tufty cheek, feather foot munchkins. I was told they were bought in the assorted bantams bin at tractor supply.

My dog stepped on my silver spangled Hamburg when it was about six weeks old and it had a limp. To popsicle sticks and two days later in solitary confinement and she was walking around as if nothing had happened there still young the bones aren't too hard yet
Some type of dark red chicken given that both of them are hybrids sex links that can come from a number of different combinations themselves it will be the Franken of all Franken
