Can anyone help identify the breed of this free rare breed? [/IMG]

I got an OEGB (Bob) as the free exotic with my McMurray order. I am normally a big, fluffy chicken kind of gal, so I wasn't quite sure what to do with her, but she completely won me over. She flies up to sit on my shoulder at night. About the flying thing... I noticed she was getting close to...

I ordered twenty-four pullets from McMurray. I expected a 10% margin of error, so I did order more than I actually needed. What I got was almost 50% cockerels. I can't decide if they are using staff that is completely clueless about sexing or they are doing it on purpose. I ordered two Salmon...

We had a near miss this morning. Around 9:00 am I heard a ruckus and ran out to see what I thought was a huge fox running around my small coop tormenting my Wyandottes. It was so unafraid of me that I had time to go get two BB guns and fire four times before hitting it and running it off. One...

We got our first egg today!!! We got three hatchery SLW in May that were supposed to be pullets. One turned out to be a roo. Not just any roo, but a spawn-of-satan-roo. He was a completely stupid bird and would challenge me after being picked up, after being given treats, after being squirted...

Facebook has an app called "My Top Words of 2010". My #10 word was "chickens"... which probably means that I have a problem. My #5 word was "flail"... which is probably also chicken-related... Anyone else with these issues?

DH and I just finished the major part of the construction of our new coop. The eves are exposed right now and our first instinct was to cover it with vinyl soffit when we covered the rest of the coop with vinyl siding. Then we started thinking that it would be incredibly easy for a predator to...

This auction is for a large fowl Silver Laced Wyandotte Rooster, six months old. He should have an experienced owner because of his need to challenge humans. He's not hurt anyone but if left in my inexperienced hands, I'm sure he will. I can't even show a rooster who's boss, so I DEFINITELY...

I posted this in the hatching section and someone suggested I re-post here. My son brought a fertile duck egg home from a sleepover on September 26. We put it in our newly vacated Brinsea Octo 20 and have been patiently waiting. When I locked down on day 25 it looked a little under developed...

A friend gave my son a fertile duck egg that we put in the bator. She hadn't had any luck hatching them and I wasn't too optimistic, even though I had 100% in my last batch. Last month everyone hatched right on time, so I'm pretty certain temp and humidity readings are accurate. So, today is...

I have an eighteen-week-old SLW rooster that has suddenly started challenging me. He's the only rooster on the place and he has two SLW hens, one of which looks like might start laying soon. He's already challenged and conquered my nine pound dog. He nearly tore a crow apart that snuck into the...
