East Frisian Gull Lemon cockeral. Purchased chick from GFF in July. Nearly 12 weeks old. I won't ship. If someone is looking fro a beautiful rare breed and more than half the cost it is a great opportunity.I feed my flock organic, non GMO scratch and pellets.

I like both of these breeds, but I feel if the Cream Legbar does not give a blue colored egg why not just keep the Isbar as their egg is already a beautiful soft green. I want to be able to tell which hen laid which egg. I am setting the very bluest Cream Legbar eggs aside and hatching them...

First winter with my new flock which included the Isbars. I am so impressed. The hens never stopped laying and carried the load when the others shut down over winter. I have never used heat or light and just let them rest according to nature. I would say the Isbar equals the Leghorn in...

My chicks from GFF are 2 1/2 wks old now. I see no sign of a crest on my females. This is my first experience owning the CLB so maybe I am expecting to see a crest too soon. At what age will the evidence a crest if they are going to have one? Thank you

In hatching eggs I put a Silver Spangled Hamburg egg in that was fertilized by my White Crested Black Polish. I only have one rooster and it is my Polish. Since I had room in my incu I thought why not see what they would look like just for fun. I have my Polish chicks and I know what...

I purchased six chicks from Greenfire Farms. They put in a couple extra and I am having difficulty sorting them out. I am hoping someone one here with experience in these breeds can help.. I ordered 2 Cream Legbars; 2 Swedish Flower pullets, 2 Isbars. thinking the two black and the blue are...

My first order from GGF and I am so pleased. The only thing that went wrong was the number I gave them to call me was not what they gave to P.O. Tracking said my order was at my local P.O. but not getting a call, I went to P.O. last night right before closing and they had no record of them...

I set my own White Crested Black polish eggs in the Brinsea Mini Advance and they were due to hatch in two days. I didn't even get to fill the water pot up before we started lock down. Today was to be the last day of turning, but this morning 3 our of 5 were hatched and the other two almost...

I am so new to this and this is the first time I have ever tired to incubate chicks. I am the one in an earlier thread that said I had purchased a Farm Innovator 4200 and only then read the bad reviews concerning it. That set me in panic mode and I also bought a Brinsea Mini Advanced. Then...

So everything was going to perfect in my Farm Innovator incubator. I couldn't believe how consistent the temp and humidity levels were keeping. Once in a while a little tweak here and there, but I couldn't be more pleased with my first endeavor. Day 19 and I went in our spare bathroom to get...

I had ordered 25 Pearl White Leghorn pullets and this chick was my free one. I know now it is a Gold Laced Wyandotte. Not sure of the sex. It is 8 1/2 weeks old. Since I have no other Wyandotte to compare I am unsure what it might be - cockeral or pullet. Reading other sources and...

Anyone in Utah breed Cochins?

I am eager to get started with chicks. I have my Eglu on order. It should be here next week. Since we are going into winter soon am I foolish to order chicks this time of year? Will I be keeping them in the house for the next 3 months? Is it best to wait until Spring to raise chicks...

Would like to know of anyone else in Utah raising or showing heirloom breeds or other. Bonnie

Hello ~ I have been reading reading reading all about chickens and coops for the last 5 days. It is addicting. I have never raised chickens. I know nothing. I love looking at the chicken varieties at the fair. I live in the city and plan on starting with only layers and only a few for my...
