    Any idea what breed?

    My neighbor left me his chickens and I was wondering what Breed they are? Good chance they came from tractor supply. We’ve shown Dutch bantams for many years, but I never had any large fowls.

    Thought is was molting but I guess not.

    I have five girls and one Roo and a decent size coop with a run. They all look great except this one. She’s been like this for 6+ months. I don’t see any bugs and the coop is kept pretty clean. I sprayed BLU-KOTE germicidal fungicidal spray on it. That’s where the purple is coming from. She is...

    Dutch opinion of overall quality

    I’ve been raising and showing Dutch for many years and I’m looking for opinions on the overall quality for show. I’m hoping to find somebody that is familiar with the breed.

    Crust around eye

    It really pulls up on his eye lid when I give it a little pull. I put a little hen healer ointment on it. Maybe a damp towel will soften it up enough to get off. Strange it’s been a month and hasn’t healed possibley gotten slightly worse.

    1st time incubation questions

    I’m hearing chirping inside the egg at day 19. My incubator is pretty small and I’m not sure if I should let them hatch in the incubator or put the eggs in the brooder and let them hatch with some room to get out of the shell. I’m typically gone 8+ hrs and how long can they stay in the incubator...

    Pairing questions

    My kids are in 4H and the last couple of years we used our schools poultry barn to house chickens. Now we're going to house them ourselves. We are going to have 6 Dutch bantams. All of our breeders sell them as a pair so we will have 3 pullets and 3 cockerels. I'm guessing the cockerels will...
