That's an awful broad statement.

If you want a dark egg, you should purchase from a breeder. You do know that the brown on the egg is only on the surface so it can scratch and appear to be painted.

I set Black Copper Marans and BBS Marans!

I'm so sorry for what you are experiencing now. I live in the town, Paradise, CA that burned down Nov 8, 2018. The fire moved so fast that we didn't have the chance to get our chickens out (about 60). We got our horses and dogs and while I put cages in my truck to take them, there just wasn't...

It's a girl!

Such an informative article! In all my chicken keeping years, I have never had one with a sour crop (knocking on wood) but a couple of days ago I noticed one of my two months old Ameraucanas with a huge crop! So I started searching and found your post. I vomited her twice, and she's had some...

I'm doing the same thing. Mine's been off since June too and I decided to do two more hatches, let them grow out over the winter and have some pullets to add to my flock or sell in the spring. I've had more requests for pullets then chicks lately and my oldest layers are going into their third...

I need some advice on my humidity pump. I have the the Brinsea Octagon® 20 Advance EX. I've hatched about 5 hatches since I got it last February. It's been turned off for the last few months but wanted to do a couple more hatches to get some spring pullets. So when I brought the incubator back...

Wow, thank you so much. Printing your post for future referencing. Sometimes I read something and then I think I see it in one of my birds but with your clear description and photos will really help me develop a better eye.

Nope, doesn't hurt my feelings.....it's really not any different then attitude I haven't met with those who deem themselves to be superior breeders of dogs and horses when I was breeding them..... and sorry but a basic understanding of genetics will help you in anything you breed no matter how...

When I asked someone about a picture of a LF WCB Polish featured on the Polish Breeders Club page, I found out that wasn't even a LF bird. Other examples of color have frizzled birds w/o even referring to the frizzle as not being part of the color they're showing. Yes, it's been really difficult...

Chiqita, I have bad news on the Marans front. The guy that works at the hay place was looking for roosters and he took all of them. If you weren't so far I would have kept one for you but couldn't pass up moving them all at the same time. I still have three in my Marans pen. I have someone who...
