    What about butchering extra roosters for others?

    Good things to think about... I actually hadn't thought about processing at my property or theirs. I had only thought about setting up a area away from my chickens. I guess I could do mine first and try to work out how it would actually go down, and final costs. Thank you for your input as...

    What about butchering extra roosters for others?

    There is a real need for surplus rooster butchering in my area. The city limits allow hens and I was thinking about offering to butcher unwanted roosters for those who ended up with roosters from their spring chicks. I'm in the county and breed my own so I also have some extras so I'd be doing...

    The AMERAUCANA thread

    Both chicks do have pea combs. Whatever this hen is she does lay a very nice blue egg. I know her father was a Ameraucana and was pretty sure he's Blue. I may have to test hatch a few more eggs and make sure they are hers by separating her for a few days.

    The AMERAUCANA thread

    Hello 👋 I'm hoping someone can help me determine what I have as far as colors on my hen and her chicks. To start off I've had Blue and Splash Ameraucanas for a while but I recently acquired another hen and wanted to pair her with my Splash Ameraucana rooster. She, to me, looks like a Splash...

    Official BYC Poll: Do You Candle Your Eggs? If So, How Often?

    I used to only candle on day 7 and 18 in my old Styrofoam incubator because it wasn't easy for it to recover heat and humidity. Now in my Brinsea I can candle as many times as I want because it regains so much better. Typically 7,14 & 18.

    Buttercup comb on Olive Egger backcross chick?

    It's just so weird! I kinda love it! ❤️ I have two Polish hens but I have never hatched their eggs... I tried to last spring but they weren't fertilized so I did bother trying this spring.

    Buttercup comb on Olive Egger backcross chick?

    The only thing is, is I produced this chick. His mother and father were bred and raised here and so were the grandparents. I've never owned a Sicilian Buttercup. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Buttercup comb on Olive Egger backcross chick?

    I hatched this chick last month he is from a Olive Egger mother (Ameraucana X BCM) and a Welsummer father. His mother has the modified pea comb and he had what looked like a straight comb until about a week or two old it started developing this circle at the back of his comb. I'm so...

    MIXED UP: BCMs with BCM X CCL

    Thank you so much @NatJ that is exactly what I needed! Honestly it was my fault they are all mixed up, as I was expecting them to be easier to tell apart. Turns out... not so much! I guess that's why I typically use the Ameraucana with a pea comb. 😄

    Olive egger thread

    I've been crossing BCM hens to a Blue Ameraucana rooster, and have loved my results. The hens are black or blue sometimes with a beard and some without. Then I started crossing those back to a AM for minty green and then a Welsummer to get speckles on the olive. This year I have blue egg...
