Quote: C- I'm telling you, bring your millie's! People will go crazy, they are so beautiful! And I've got my eye out for ya and finding you some Orp Roosters, but it would be more fun to look together. ;) Thanks again for the beautiful birds today. My husband thinks I'm crazy but my kids were...

Shawn, thanks again for putting this chickenstock together. I hope it is a huge success! Looking forward to being there and meeting a bunch of other crazy chicken people like me. :) I'll be bringing a pair of Welsummer laying hens- approximately 8 months old, and a pure Blue-Wheaten Ameraucana...

Picked this chicken up from someone saying it was a Welsummer. Pretty sure it's not, but thought I'd get the experts opinion. It has green legs, which tells me NOT a Welsummer. Any other ideas? (This chick is around 4-5 months.) I'm thinking Pullet, but it would help to know the breed to tell...

That's a great chart! What is the reference?

They are AMAZING! Thank you for sharing. I am so excited to see what happens with mine now.

Will a single comb always produce single comb off-spring?

That is so good to know! I figured I need to be more patient. But legs are already looking pretty thick, except on the Splash. I really was thrown by the weird single comb thing showing up. But now it's making sense. I can't remember if I asked this, but if I keep a Roo and breed it to the BLR...

Baahaaha! Glad to know there's other 80's music fans out there! It's fun naming the chicks. I let my kids name a couple and then I reserve the right to name the rest! haha! I thought it was clever of my daughter to name one of the Roos "Converse". She loves wearing hi-tops (thanks to her...

Thanks! That link was helpful. Looks like I need to find a Brown/Red Cochin to breed with my Splash. Anyone? Here's a question: I bought my chicks from a Breeder of Lemon/Blues (Bishops Chickens,) it just happened that I ended up will all Splash. Would you put in another order with them and...

Thanks. I didn't know that about the single combs. I don't mind at all that they have a single comb. Makes them look more like my Orpingtons. I don't know why it is so hard to be patient and just see what they turn into over a couple months! I was just getting worried that I wasn't going to end...

Ah. so HeRE's the question... what exactly is a rose comb supposed to look like on a pullet verses a cockerel? That is what I have no idea about.

That would be great! I wondered though because of the waddles that are showing already? and don't those single combs throw you off? What UP with those? Can someone explain to me also the saddle feathering thing? I heard that helps determine boy status as they're feathering out. I am not sure...

I know, RIGHT? If they are all Splash, does it matter which Roo and which Pullets I keep? and what other pullet will I need to cross my Splash Roo with in order to get one that looks Lemon-BLUE? or would it be better to get a different color Roo to breed them to in order to get the Lemon-Blue...

I have a new little brood of 5 week old Lemon-Blue Cochins. Problem is, none are looking very Blue to me. I was wondering what the splits might be when hatching Lemon-Blues? Do I have some splash here, or just a bunch of buff/cream colors? I am pretty unfamiliar with the breed, but thought they...

I have some 5 week old BLR Wyandottes that are throwing me for a loop on their sexing! 2 of them appear to have a single comb instead of the rose comb. I only know how to tell difference sex in combs when they are actually the same type of comb. sigh. Are there other ways to tell this young? I...
