I bought these two girls, "sisters", "heavy laying pullets", no breed listed, at the feed store, via Ideal Hatchery. I have ruled out some breeds based on the features, comb, etc. My guess now is a hatchery attempt at Rhode Island Whites that "failed" at the White part? They both have red...

I purchased 2 of the same "Heavy Breed Pullets" ... they were yellow chicks with little tiny light buff wing feathers coming in. Pullets, clean legs. Just for fun, not knowing what they were other than "heavy"... Now, consulting with you all... .... curious... what breed do you think...

I'm curious if anyone else has had experience in the area of having eggs split between a broody hen and the incubator. They both hatched within a couple of days of each other, the broody a day or two before. What is odd is that the incubator / bathtub chicks are larger, have more feathers, are...

Hi, These are my first Wyandottes... one Golden Laced and one Silver Laced. The Silver Laced has always been a bit smaller, having been pecked on when younger. This GLW is a bit bigger. They are both about 14 weeks at the time of the photo (?). But, my neighbor is saying this GLW may be a...

I am wondering a few things, please: Maybe I am wrong, but it seems like not everyone has hens with bare backs due to the rooster mounting them, mating with them? (I have 13 hens and one rooster) So, is it a matter of size of the rooster? Or, breed of the rooster that makes him more...

It has been sunny and warm during the day and it seems my hens are confused about what time of year it is. I have new chicks less than a week old. Another hen sitting (went broody on the 4th) - hatch due the 25th. A third went broody today, so her hatch date will be Feb. 1st. The disciplinary...

Well... after I found out that the one (rare) pullet I had was a Sicilian Buttercup, I looked up the breed. She started laying eggs about that time as well (a couple of months ago). She laid pretty much every single day, even though what I read was that they were only "fair" layers.. 2 a...

I am wondering if anyone else has ever had this happen: I went out to the coop this morning. My Americauna hen that lays very large (jumbo) pastel green eggs, but stops when it is very hot was up on the roost. She hadn't laid for several days. But, this morning there was an egg on the...
