I'm also looking for a name for this lovely girl if anyone has any suggestions! I've been thinking of Ember or Cinder, one of those might stick, but can't think of anything I love. ❤️ I have this Raraku hen and I am curious is anyone can shine any light on her potential genotype and the name...

I will be offering Ponape and Raraku Hatching Eggs this year! Both of these landraces are generally wild and flighty and have a higher proportion of Junglefowl than your average domestic chicken. + Ponape - Both Saudeleur Ponape and Ponape Junglefowl in the line Ponape are a Micronesian...

Raraku are a type of Rapanui Fowl from Easter Island. The native name for the island is Rapa Nui and is the namesake for the classification of these and several other island landrace fowl because this island offered a critical landing site for the genetics that would radiate to other islands...

I am offering limited numbers of Raraku and Ponape adolescents and adults again this year with local pick up or shipping within California. Both of these unique fowl were brought to the islands of Pohnpei and Rapa Nui by ancient seafaring peoples and allied with their respective cultures...

As the title says I bred a rooster with what I believe to be a Pea Comb with a hen with a Single Comb and one of the offspring has a Duplex Single Comb. I am 100% certain this is the pair that produced the offspring because they've been in the same breeding pen together for well over a month...

I am asking the community for information regarding the genetics of birchen because I believe I still do not have an appropriate understanding. I am grateful for any and all input so thank you to everyone in advance. First Hen: Hen shown above followed by a rooster with very similar...

Ponape are a type of chicken under the category of Rapanui Fowl and are from the Micronesian island of Pohnpei. These unique chickens arrived to the island on the vessels of ancient Polynesian seafarers. Foundry stock from Pohnpei and other islands were brought back to Europe during the...

I am offering limited pairs and trios of Rapanui landrace fowl from Easter Island and Pohnpei, the Raraku and Ponape respectively. These unique chickens were brought over by ancient Polynesian seafarers to the islands many years ago and were kept and maintained by their respective cultures for...

I’ve tried looking up patterns for duckwing, partridge, quail, and more, but I can’t find any matches! Does anyone know what pattern this chick might be?

I was about to pitch 6 eggs that are on day 24 of incubation, but when I candled, 4 were still moving! So I put them back in the incubator. I am fearful of opening it again, but am unsure how long to wait! Should I poke a safety hole? How do I know when they’re internally pipped without...

I trust my Govee as I have calibrated it with several other thermometers, and I don't exactly trust my Elekcity infrared thermometer. However, I'm still worried that when I temp the eggs specifically it usually reads around 102-103 even if the ambient is 99.3. I just need a few words to calm...

I have a broody Muscovy and some chicken eggs I intend to hatch, but am a little wary about letting her hatch the eggs. I've heard Scovies make great broodies, but this is my first year with them, and will be this girls first clutch. Can I trust her to hatch the eggs? Has anyone had any...

I realize there are older threads asking the same question, but what does everyone use these days? Is there one that is accurate enough for incubation but not way over budget? I would love to hear some opinions as I need to replace my old hygro-thermometer this year. I was using a Govee and...

Can anyone give me a general breakdown of different chicken eye shapes as described by the SOP for different breeds. I want to describe the eye shape of the Jitokko and am not sure how to do it in APA or ABA terms. Some rather poor quality pictures are included below.

I have two incubators ready to fill, I'm interested in very rare breeds or landraces. What do you have? Korean Yeonsan Ogye and Quechua Olmec pictured above.

Are Silkies the only breed known to have blue earlobes? Are there some obscure landraces that also have blue earlobes?

Photo from the Rare Poultry Association of a Black Bearded Thuringian. I have come across several old posts around the web from individuals who claim to have this breed. Is anyone currently raising this amazing breed or know of anyone who does? The numbers seemed very low even a few years...

Are there different genetics that govern crests and tassels? Crest like that on a Polish, and tassels, like on a Crested Legbar. Does this have to do with comb type, or some other combination or genes or is it two different genes? I know it's not simply dominance, because Crested Legbars breed...

I am ordering Shetland Hens from Greenfire Farms, but only want to keep a pair myself (maybe a trio). Would anyone be interested in purchasing some extras? I am ordering 6. They are a very interesting landrace and lay blue eggs, even though they are from Scotland...

Ive recently been noticing it seems one of my cockerels has significantly larger feathers on his back. I’m curious to hear other opinions? Is this within the range of normal? This is the cockerel in question. These two on the other hand look more normal to me.
