i got my very first egg about a month ago from my BA - but just got my first green egg from an EE this weekend - wasn't even really expecting it, and she's laid the last 3 days in a row! so proud of her - and so excited to finally see what color (and boy is it pretty!) egg she lays! now, my BR...

congratulations! how exciting... i still have a couple of months to wait for my first, but can already feel the anticipation!

You can get either Vi-Tal or Terramycin at your feed store, Tractor Supply, etc. Neither are expensive. Both are mixed directly in the drinking water - but not at the same time. Mixing instructions come on the packages. I think the Vi-Tal is something like 1/4 tsp. to a gallon, and the...

Thanks, everyone! Gotta say I agree with the GLW roo opinions. Went back and looked at some baby photos too - and although he was chipmunk-y he was pretty dark along the back - making him look more GLW than EE. To top it all off, I think he may also be a bantam! Back to the ranch he goes -...

As it says above, she's 9 weeks old. The BR is about 2 weeks older - but she's also much larger than the one in question. I think the second photo of just the two of them shows that more. The BA is probably around the same age, but could be younger. She was the trade in for my BA roo - so I...

Okay, so everyone called it 100% on my BA rooster. Now I'm wondering what you think about this one: 9 weeks. Ameracauna x Aruacana (i think that is what the breeder told me.) I swear the comb and wattles are pink sometimes, and redder other times. Could that be the heat? (I'm in Texas and...

As someone who just re-homed a very handsome BA rooster I would tell you that yours is DEFINITELY a hen.

Thanks for everyone's replies! No question about it now, what with the crowing and all... Amelia (ahem...) is a rooster! She has gone back to the breeder where she (I mean, he) jumped right in showing some of the smaller fellas who is boss. And we've got a new girl (definitely a girl this...

This is my Black Australorp. Of course, it's supposed to be a she... but I am starting to wonder. I'd love to hear from people who have experience with BA's, because I know those comb and waddles look really big, but isn't that often the case with BA hens? S/he is around 11 weeks, but not...

Welcome to BYC!

Thanks, I will give CL a try. I went out to take a look at "her" again and it suddenly hit me how long those tail feathers have gotten. I know even the BA girls can have pretty big combs and waddles, but I think I may have been fooling myself on this one... If anyone is interested in a...
