    Chicken Breeding Projects, For 2020!

    Since amberlinks don't breed true, anything you hatch will be a mutt so to speak. I have 4 juveniles I hatched from amberlink eggs with an amberlink rooster and each one looks completely different. They aren't the same color or even sizes. There's a small white one with black spots, a large rust...

    Chicken Breeding Projects, For 2020!

    I heard back from Greenfire after a second email. They no longer carry them either

    Chicken Breeding Projects, For 2020!

    They did get back to me, quickly to! But they no longer have them I've searched just about everywhere on here and googled like a crazy person

    Chicken Breeding Projects, For 2020!

    I also want to get my hands on some appenzeller Barthuhners but they are proving elusive... We love bearded birds ❤️

    Chicken Breeding Projects, For 2020!

    I'm looking forward to my FIRST year breeding ❤️ I have salmon Faverolles that I got for my son for 4H and we will be working on getting them to SOP. They aren't bad now but color is a little dark in some and combs have too many points. I also enjoy mixing my egg production flock and seeing what...

    Appenzeller Barthuhner Thread!

    I can't see your pics for some reason but where did you get the eggs? I'm still in search and it's starting to look like I'd have to drive to Canada and pay customs fees for some

    Review by 'BarefootHomestead33' in article 'Common Rooster Myths - Clearing Up Rooster Misinformation'

    It's about time someone cleared up some of these myths I have 9 roosters currently and they ALL free range with my 42 hens all of various ages from 9wks to 5 years. One rooster I keep just so he will help teach the young boys how to treat the flock and babies as they grow up. He's a mutt and not...

    I don't have a third set to use at the moment though

    Create your own chicken!

    Light brown/partridge coloring on a faverolles rooster, also a great, year round layer

    Line breeding, or something close, salmon Faverolles

    This is what the other "like" would look like. This would mean that both fourth generations would share great-grandparents.

    Line breeding, or something close, salmon Faverolles

    I have a flock of 18 hens and 5 roosters. Two of my roosters are close to SOP but miss it by points on their combs (both have seven points and one is uneven.) the hens I have picked meet SOP. If I line breed them, as pictured, and flip roosters to create to Gen 4 batches, would this be a good...

    I also found Grade Eh Farms in BC that has them now! Their site briefly mentioned FedEx and UPS so I emailed them and am remaining hopeful for spring chicks/eggs. I think it would be an added bonus to hatch them ourselves for 4H records. I'm emailing DC Heritage about them next

    I saw them online and I've been considering driving across the border and finding out how much it costs to get 3-5 birds back through customs. I live in Michigan so Canada is just a couple hour drive depending on where I wanna cross at. Might be worth it since there seems to be demand in the...

    Thank you guys. We may get spitzenhabens eventually but I'm really in love with the Barthuhners, even if we can't get them for my son's conservation project. He's starting to lose interest as we haven't been able to find them. I keep telling him to wait until spring, that's when everyone has chicks

    Best Apps for Managing Flock

    Just download them and input you're flock info. I played around to learn as much as I could. They both have helpful info on their download pages to

    Best Apps for Managing Flock

    I use 2 different apps since neither offers differentiation between flocks. Mother Hen is a cheap one time payment app that I use for my breeding flock and Flockstar is a free app I used to track my egg production flock. Both offer expense tracking and photo identification per bird. They also...
