    Thank you both! I wanted a more confirmed answer rather than just researching online :)

    Weight and breeding rabbits

    I’ve read different opinions on when it’s the right time to breed your doe for the first time. One I see the most is her age and weight. My doe is a LionLop, roughly 15 weeks old. And while she’s not age appropriate to breed yet (I believe) she’s past weight appropriate. Last week she weighed...

    Rescued turkeys

    Rounded them up today and here they are! Jim Tom and Overa. The gobbler is actually a sweetheart, the hen is very timid. They settled in well with the hens, which is great. I’m going to research but I’ll throw it out here anyway. Does anyone know what breed Overa might be? To me Jim Tom looks...

    Rescued turkeys

    I will probably be acquiring a pair of turkeys within the next couple weeks from a neighbor. A slate tom and I’m not sure what the hen is. They will have to be housed with my chickens temporarily until I can get them a coop of their own built. Right now the only feed ration they get is cracked...

    Silkie thread!

    With my most recent hatch of chicks I've come across an oddball of the bunch. A penguin colored chick. Does anyone know what color it should come out to be when grown? Parents are paint showgirl hen and black (with gold hackle and saddle leakage) rooster. It's a cute little bugger I know that...

    Genetics can be wild

    I've saw the parents of these birds once, the rooster is a paint showgirl and the turken hen was tan with black wing and tail tips. Since a showgirl is made up of a turken crossed with silkie, cross that back with a turken I had no idea what would come of it. I was kind of surprised to see the...

    Genetics can be wild

    Back in the winter I bought several eggs from a friend to hatch. Two of those eggs came from the same pair of chickens. A showgirl rooster with a turken hen. I know when you cross those two together there no telling what you could get, and I have proof of that! These two roosters, I call them...

    Silkie and Showgirl chicks

    I have a mixture of black and paint silkie and showgirls, as well as the oddball silver partridge silkie. They are 4 1/2 weeks old. These were project chicks so they could have leakage as adults. Parents were silver partridge silkie rooster over paint showgirl hens. ***please note the silver...

    Showgirl thread- for posting pictures and discussing breed!

    Here are my paint showgirls. I fell in love with the color and breed as soon as I saw them. Last summer I bought several six week old chicks, this winter I tried a project with them but didn't really hatch the chicks I wanted. So this summer I plan on breeding with a purpose. I'm super excited...

    Surprise in the coop this morning!

    I know that egg shell colors can't exactly change but my eyes have witnessed a different theory. I have five hens, one is easter egger/rhode island, three are easter egger/golden comet, and the other one is easter egger/black sex link. The comet and sex link offspring lay a muddied greenish...

    December hatch-along

    Most would probably be horrified to hear this, but I've never kept up with the humidity while hatching eggs. I keep the tray filled with water and keep the temperature right and had very many successful hatches Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Naked Neck/Turken Thread

    What color are bantam NN eggs? I've read that the standard size are tinted or brown. The reason I ask is, last night a couple was over and she she stuck her hand in her pocket and pulled out an egg that she had forgot in her pocket. She asked if I had an incubator going and I said no but she...
