He is one of my favorites. I just love his coloring! I would love to hatch more for my yard but the only hens I have are calico, black, mottled, buff and lavendar. I just put him with my calico to see what they make. :)
What color would this roo be? It was labeled blue columbian (or blue buff columbian) or blue calico. I looked for pictures but can't find any that look like him.
I went online to look and TC Farm and country does have it so I called them back and another person found it. Went and bought it right away so well see how it goes.
I have a rooster and he has a bubble above his eye that I thought was was just a feather not coming threw. I tried popping it and clear liquid comes out and it goes down but fills back up. I have done this 3 times now today it was so full it looked like it would burst. I also noticed he is...
Ok. My rooster is splash... I didn't think so. I guess I need more splash eggs. I may have a blue and black cochins that just hatched but not real sure, I am not good at coloring them yet.
I lost my only splash hen. :( Can I put a mottled or lavendar hen with my rooster to get more splash babies?? Or do I need to get more splash eggs and try again next year?
Well I put my other chickens together and same thing, once I added the rooster the hen quit laying. I am thinking they don't like my pick in roosters. LOL. Any tips.
She was laying every other day for up to 3 weeks, then I added him then nothing, they are mating just no eggs. My calico is laying every other day now too, so I'm going to bring in a rooster for her and see what happens.
Ok, Thanks, I thought it was weird. She's been in my house for a month so I could separate her from other roosters (didn't have any where else to put her, LOL) and then I brought him in and she hasn't laid one since. I'm ready to hatch some chickies!!
