    Experience with Lemon Cuckoo Niederrheiner Chickens

    I have a group I purchased from someone who did buy them from McMurray hatchery. 1 hen looks more like a rooster and is too big. Because they are so rare, I did keep her. She lays huge eggs which are very often double yolks. The other hens are normal sized, short legged and round. I sold 1...

    Selling hatching vs eating eggs

    Please do not sell unwashed eggs for any purpose. Unwashed eggs may preserve the bloom, but the actual difference in hatch rate with or without the bloom is minuscule at best. The likelihood of infecting the embryo with bacteria is increased exponentially in unwashed eggs or even...

    LETHARGIC Hen; White, Liquidy Poop; Eating But...

    Excess white poop is a sign of kidney problems or failure. Too much calcium can do this. If you are feeding her layer feed I would stop this and offer starter feed. Give her some vitamins in water & mix in juice. I like to use cranberry juice because it's very good for the kidneys and for...

    d'Uccle color genetics

    I'm pretty new to the d'uccle breed myself, but I'd like to add to discussion as a reference point for many questions I have been reading in this thread. d'uccle are a true bantam breed. The golden rule of breeding is to begin with the best stock you can find & afford. You can't build a...

    Difference between Rouen and Mallard.

    Mallards actually ARE a bantam breed. 😁 Rouens are like their standard sized cousins. Also someone said Mallards are the size of call ducks. They are not. Call ducks are smaller than Mallards. I will try to post photos of mine next to one another for reference as I have all 3. They are...

    Hawk killers? Liege Fighter?

    That's awesome! Thank you so much for the information! I was so upset to discover a hawk sitting atop my house yesterday, observing my flock. I startled him as much as he startled me and he flew into a neighboring field. It was definitely enough to worry me. I ordered eggs & am waiting...

    Not at all. I have 1 little group with 2 Silkie roos..brothers..who are like 1 rooster in 2 little bodies! Lol. They work in tandem and currently have 2 hens they guard. 1 is a broody Silkie tending her hatchlings and a couple of others I snuck in for her. While she's occupied they share the...

    Comment by 'DuckDuckGooseMum' in article 'Common Rooster Myths - Clearing Up Rooster Misinformation'

    I agree with almost everything in the article except sending an aggressive roo to the chopping block. Aggressive roos are usually aggressive because of mistakes their humans made in raising them. Roosters will automatically have rooster drives..to protect namely. It's up to their humans to...
