If we needed yet another reason...
Poor Gwyneth was minding her own business laying her egg this morning and I snuck the last remaining egg with a chick from a clutch that hatched on the weekend and through this week under her - I knew it was ready to hatch. I came back from drop off, and there...
I love my silkies and couldn't have gotten through online learning/lockdown without them!! #yolkoforpresident ... I have Dame Eggna (splash), Gwyneth Poultry (white) and roo, Yolko Oh-No.
Hi all,
I recently hatched a clutch of eggs that will be a cross between my Araucana girls and my porcelain Sussex hen and this handsome barnyard mix, who's really my pet, Freckles. Is there anyone willing to have a guess at what he's a mix of? The breeder who gave him.to me as a chick has ISAs...
Thank you - you've given me a little hope. I have a small flock and wanted to have as much variety as possible. The other two in the picture of 3 are Barnavelder and very clearly male and female... The Marans have had me confused for months!
Hi all. Please confirm.for me the sex.of this brown Marans chicken. The black too at the end is for.comparison - I know he's a cockerel and he is from the same clutch of chicks. He crows, but the brown one doesn't. I have seen them play fight but posturing behaviours from the brown one go either...
Roos have the best personality at this age at least, and they're certainly very handsome when they're grown... I'd keep them all if we were not so close to the neighbours!
Out of 22 eggs I had 10 successfully hatch in mid-late October (6-7 weeks). I am all but certain these 5 are boys. Breeds are Pekins, Black Copper Marans and Barnavelder. Many thanks!!
