Do you have any experience with those breeds? How is their temperaments with people (children too if you happen to have any young ones around!) and the flock? Do they tend to bully other flock members?

Hello everybody, long time no post! A few topics below if you feel like reading lol 1 - I'm getting my chicks in June and my breeder will be custom breeding me Easter Eggers which will be Silver Sussex hen x White Ameraucana roo. We're both pretty excited and were wondering if anyone has ever...

How did you crosses turn out?

I've seen a few reviews that once their chicks arrived, their orders were very wrong. One asked for 12 silkies and only received 4, their order came up to $400+ with all their other chicks and no one would help them with the mistakes. I'm not trying to be rude. I've been looking into ordering...

Thanks for the advice and Awwww! that sounds so adorable! What breed was she? Is preening a friendly gesture or just for grooming?

I'm just wondering how one would go about getting chicks that were hatched by a hen familiar to you? I'll be raising my first flock by hand in a brooder so the future "mother" hen would be used to me already. What happens with chicks a hen raises herself? Do the chicks... learn off mama to...

Would you be able to record him doing this behaviour if he happens to do it again? I'm looking up botulism, wry neck.... but considering he's acting normal now and he's 5 months old, I'm even thinking that you've just got a real 'rooster' now. Meaning he's sexually mature and that spinning he...

Is he doing something like that?

Hey Saaniya, I hope your roo is doing better today. I've been doing some research on the problem and not much comes up via google search other than threads in this site. So, I'll link what I've found. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/chicken-with-vertigo-dizzy.660341/page-2 It sounds...

REALLY?!?!?! Now that makes this so much more exciting!!! If you don't mind me being nosey, what were the parents??? ....not YOURS I mean.. the chooks :p Really, I love the Orpington breed. So big and fluffy and oooooh!! I just wanna cuddle them all day long!!! I've read from mypetchicken that...

I have no time to read all the pages so I'll just post my own question :p ... So when it comes to making "Easter Eggers", should we be using blue-gene hens with a brown-gene rooster or the other way around? I'm planning on getting an Ameraucana rooster (hopefully pure as they claim) and possibly...

I figured I just wasn't researching enough so I couldn't find any medications lol ... I'm not very confident the vet will sell me Amprol, but I'm definitely going to argue my case about how fast the cocci kills such tiny little chicks. I get off work at noon tomorrow, so I think I'm going to...

Hi guys I'm still slowly setting up for next year's flock, and have decided to be prepared for coccidiosis ahead of time. However, I'm in Canada and Corid is not sold up here as far as I know. There are a few brands made for coccidiosis in cattle, but none for chickens, which is pretty...

I've got it too. I panicked because it said hackers might be trying to steal my information so I started trying to change all my info! And it won't let me change my avatar soooo yeah not helping things lol

I know this is an old thread, but how did your crosses turn out (if you took pictures, SPILL!!!!)? I'm thinking of getting an Ameraucana roo, Lav Orpington and Salmon Faverolle hens so I'd end up with Orpicaunas and Favaucana EEs!

Oh I've got it covered with the larger chain link fencing like the pic I posted earlier. We don't have wolves or coyotes in this area and we have a dog by-law where all outside dogs have to be tied up or they get picked up and taken away (no idea where they go but meh..not my problem lol). I'm...

Thank you do much everyone :) I think I'm going to go with keeping them in the enclosed run completely until I'm able to order in electric fencing for the outer chain link fencing; the hardware cloth is definitely going more than 2-3ft up the fence. Just an afterthought... what do you guys...

Hiya @Drarig99 ! Welcome! :ya I'm Quebec Canadian, too! I've been looking around for your breeds for a months now... do you hatch your own eggs? Where abouts are you?

***Edited*** The little #$&^#%s !!!!! :eek: Shoooooot! We even made sure to put hardware cloth along the bottom of the coop so if critters go underneath and manage to chew through the plywood (Which I doubt), they'll have not only two layers of hardware cloth but also insulation and yet ANOTHER...

Ok so basically go wire for sturdiness. Thanks chickflick!!
