    Blue and green egg genetics

    I see! That is helpful. I may have misspelled... I'm stateside! This guy isn't rumpless and thankfully not tufted. The rooster is from this farm: Ameraucana: Wheaten/Blue Wheaten/Splash -- Juveniles & Adults https://share.google/4JH1pFPYf6a8g5FqP

    Blue and green egg genetics

    I'm guessing a genetic test is the way to tell if a roo is homogeneous, unless it's certain that the parent stock were solid blue eggers?

    Blue and green egg genetics

    None of my hens have muffs or crests. I could get pictures of them in the future. Thank you for the correction!

    Blue and green egg genetics

    I have a flock of backyard mutt chickens. One or two hens lay blue, one or two lay green, and the rest lay mixes of brown, beige, and there's one who lays creamy, almost rosy white occasionally. I've considered separating them one or two at a time to establish a definite who-lays-what list...

    Are egg colors/speckles supposed to vary?

    Four hens now! 😁 I'll be able to tell them apart now, haha! Thanks all for your information. Egg colors are so fascinating I'm not disappointed.

    Are egg colors/speckles supposed to vary?

    These are the eggs I've gotten for the past week or few days. I have two started pullets of unknown breeds (one might be a mix with sapphire gem,) and several pullets that should start laying in just a few days. I wouldn't put it past them to start a little early- and that darkest, speckled...

    Thoughts on cockerel management?

    I think room does help! I also have a cardboard box and a lidded five-gallon bucket in my coop for the pullets to stand on and eat. Some of my girls are half cochin bantam and, while they're not as sought-after as the big girls, they're still afraid of being mounted and will mostly stay on the...

    Thoughts on cockerel management?

    Thanks for the advice, you all! This is encouraging. Pretty much what I want to do as it is. I have one more question. Is it stupid to keep a flock of five bantams in with them? Right now they're still young. There isn't really enough room on the top roost for the twenty chickens together, but...

    Thoughts on cockerel management?

    I have fifteen large teen chickens, five cockerels and ten pullets. Out of these cocks, I know I must be rid of four. Two of them I know I don't want to keep- and the reason is my fault. I petted and held them and now that hormones are raging, they think they can bite onto my hand like they do...

    Review by 'The Rinaest Rina' in article '10 Ways to Save Money When Raising Chickens'

    Good article. The cheapest place to get chickens, from my experience, is at a local small livestock auction. People bring their animals there in cages and cardboard boxes and they auction them all at random. On a week where there was a lot of chickens, towards the end there was a very nice pair...
