Hi all, I recently hatched out some dark brown BCM eggs, or what I thought were pure BCM eggs, but now that they have hatched I think my Buff Orpington Roo had a hand in them!! Does anyone know what these will look like when they mature? Has anyone else made this mistake before me? I dont...
I also have a solid white olive egger he is a cross between a BCM X Americauna hen and a BCM rooster. Yet his brother looks just like a BCM with a pea comb. Something about a recessive white gene. I just thinks he is good looking!
too bad he's gotta go, I have too many roosters.
Im not all that experienced with my chickens yet but I had a rooster who had some kind of respritory problem and his comb turned purple from lack of 02 Oxygen. Dont know why yours went away after she laid an egg.
Does anyone need a rooster? I have 2- 3 month old Canadian partridge Chanticlers, I got the eggs from a friend that lives in Canada. I just hate to send them to freezer camp. I live in Orange county NY, near the Ulster county line. I can meet or you can come pick up but I dont ship the...
Does anyone want an interesting rooster? I have a 4 month old pure white Olive egger (BCM and auricauna mix) How it came out white I have no Idea, came from a dark brown egg and his brother looks just like a BCM with a pea comb. As much as I want to keep him, I have too many roosters...
Hello all you New Yorkers! I am over run with roosters!! Does anyone need a rooster? I have 2- 3 month old Dominiques, 2 Canadian Chanticlers, 2 Black Cochin Mixes, 2 handsome wheaten Americaunas. I also have 3- 8 week old Buff orpington boys, a 4 month old pure white Olive egger (BCM and...
HI, I suggest you take it to a vet if there is one in your area, I recently lost a rooster to the same thing. He was sneezing for a couple weeks before he was unable to crow and a day or 2 after he stopped crowing he was gone. He basicaly suffocated. MY vet is not an avian vet but she did an...
Ok, is everyone sitting down? I had my first coop built by a retired house builder. I bought the plans for $25.oo on line. Now mind you this is a 12x8 coop, with a shed roof. I did have him insulate it and I did buy a screen door and New windows, 3 Storm windows with screens and 2 basment...
Thanks for the replies, I really just do this chicken thing as a hobby. I won't be selling my mutant strain olive eggers hens. So the BCM line is safe!! LOL But I appreciate the feedback. Now all I can do is wait and see what kind of eggs the hens produce and see how big the Roosters get...
Hello all,
I haven't posted much here as I am pretty new to chickens. Well, I need some feed back now!! I bought a breeding flock of what was supposed to be 4 BCM hens and 1 roo, also BCM. I ended up with 1 Olive egger Hen and 3 BCM hens and of course the BCM roo. Well I hatched out...
thanks for the resposes Im gonna ride it out, the eggs didnt cost me anything but feed for the chickens so I can try again if nothing comes of this hatch.
Ok, only second day of lockdown and I cant keep the humidity above 55. What should I do? can I open it and put in a wet sponge? Please help if you are all knowing! thanks
I dont have mine in egg cartons just laying on the mesh in the bator. I did put one paper towel in there. I will leave the one plug out unless the humidity gets too high I guess. My humidity is at 72% so I guess I just have to wait now. Im hoping for at least half of the 26 to hatch. They...
