I wanted some pretty yard decorations so hatched some eggs out of my Partridge Brahma and Blue Buff Splash Cochin hen. Got quite the rainbow too! Also one Bramha x EE that is freaky large, I'm guessing that thing is a rooster? The two largest are 12 week olds ( 2 - blue and 1 - buff...
I'm reasonably sure I have two roos and three pullets, but would love other opinions. Need to sell the extra roos. 3 is a cross between a welsummer and EE, but pretty sure that is a hen.
Day 21, walked away for an hour and came back to this. :(
I've hatched in it many times and have had bad thermostats, but never had one fail in the 'on' position and never exploded a thermometer before. I am very lucky I caught it before it started a fire.
Going to be using something a...
Just curious to see how many boys I ended up with. I ordered two, suspicious there might only be one.... or three? They were hatched 10/25/15 :)
Most of the girls are looking like this;
Then I have these three;
#1 - 99% sure this one is indeed a rooster.
#2 Not sure on this one...
I picked him up to help defend my young flock, he is 9-10 months old. Just curious on the color, I've seen a lot of blue roosters but none with this mix of colors.
Thanks. :)
It looks like a Kiwi hanging there, but I have never seen flowers like this... nor them starting upside down with little legs.
The vine just crawled up my neighbor's fence and started flowering this year.
So I picked up 7 ducklings at around a week old three months ago, 6 Cayuga and one (supposedly) Khacki. I also have 4 LF Cochins and they range on 1/2 of an acre.
They get locked into the bottom of the chicken coop at night. The chickens had a free-feeder with flock raiser in it. At the end...
I have a mixed flock of 7 about 16 weeks old. They have an 8x4 tractor/coop they live in and I open the door to a 100' x 150' fenced pasture for a few hours before work and in the evening when I get home. I move the tractor around in the area every couple of days.
They have had this routine...
These guys were hatched 5/5/11, so just under 8 weeks. My first run at having chickens, I went up for four GL cochins and came back with three of these guys too.
Spent all day oogling over everyone's BCM photos. Nobody has one with a mohawk in the rear. What's up with this guy/gal? Will the...
