Grow a frog is a Florida based marketing company. They sell grow a frog kits which consists of a tadpole, tadpole food, a guide book, blue sand, and a small plastic tank. I thought it would be fun to try. The first tadpole that I got was dead. I called them and they were real nice about it and...
I've been noticing that a few members have avatars that are inappropriate for younger members. I know it's not those members fault, they just don't realize that younger members may look at their avatars
The broody hen is Trixie, she is 22-24 weeks old.
Three chicks have hatched so far (that I've seen, anyway)! I named them Hershey, Twixie, and Snickerdoodle (Snickers for short).
She has 5 more eggs under her I believe.
How do you tell the difference between a black sex link and a black copper maran? I know that a black copper maran will sometimes have feathered feet but when they don't have feathered feet...?

And them I would breed the black australorp/speckled sussex mix with a brown leghorn rooster/Easter egger hen mix
What do you think? I...
I have 3 pullets that are 7 month old that I bought from tractor supply as black sex links. They have every characteristic of black sex links except that they have lightly feathered legs. I'm thinking maybe part black copper maran or part black australorp? They're names are Roxanne (Roxie)...
I have a broody pullet who is about 7 months old and has been partly broody since she has started laying and now she is fully broody. I bought her at tractor supply as a black sex link but is black with barely feathered grey legs so I am guessing she is a black copper maran mix. Also, her name...
