    I have a hen that just about finished hatching her second clutch. she was sitting on 8 eggs of mixed origins and they are separated from the rest of the flock. in the past i think i allowed them back into the flock unprepared and the babies didn't make it. what is the general rule for letting...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    So I have two broodies right now, each sitting on 6 eggs. I'm very excited to see how many hatch, they've been great mothers so far. However, they aren't separated in the coop, from each other or the other birds. I know this is a controversial topic as far as whether it's better to keep them in...

    Oh now I would love to see those blacks! I've been in the market for a few to help with a breeding project and they're so hard to find! I recently purchased a pair of beautiful bantam whites, but I haven't gotten the chance to take any pics yet! But I definitely will once the weather breaks...

    The Flock 8

    THE FLOCK: This page is dedicated to the members of my flock. As we all know too well, being animal owners, we sometimes lose animals due to sickness, age, or predators. Because of that, the members of our flocks may not always stay the same. But that's not to say they don't always live on with...

    The Coop 29

    So I was sort of lucky to have a coop-like structure pretty much set to go when I got my first set of chicks. My parents had built a 10x12 shed to store some extra stuff in that, when the chicks were growing too big for the basement, they allowed me to convert into a coop. As we all know, coops...

    Exchequer LEGHORNS

    I've had several hens in the past and currently have some that are great layers. In their peak I would estimate they were laying 5 or 6 eggs a week and they laid into winter fairly well too. They weren't necessarily large eggs but they were consistent. As far as Leghorns are concerned I would...

    Wanted: Black Leghorn Males

    I'm looking for good quality black leghorn males. Preferably not hatchery stock but if they look nice then that's ok too. They're for a breeding project and the closest to standard the better. I'm willing to pay for good stock. They can be cockerels or roosters, but I'd rather not have really...

    ATTN: Exchequer Leghorn experts. Advice needed!

    Quote: I agree with whoever said look at type first then color. Color is much easier to breed for than the exchequer type, therefore you want the birds that represent type first. Pale legs is definitely worse, like the other person said crooked toes are most likely a result from hatching not...
