Still working on ID of 2 month olds hatched from @chrissyr eggs. Mix of Marans and F3 Oliver Eggers eggs. I believe the above is a Blue Olive Egger pullet due to the pea comb. But she does not have cheek muffs??? I believe the above is a Black Copper Olive Egger Ro due to the cheek Muffs...

Need ID help between 2 month Oliver Eggers and Marans I got from @chrissyr . Some of the Ro's(I'm thinking Ro) have those tussel cheeks and obviously have Americana in them. But only on those that look like Ro's. Do the pullets cheek tussels develop later than the Ro's on the Oliver Eggers?

I just called my local feed store that carries Belt Hatchery stock out of Fresno to add a few chicks to my hatching this weekend. Was told all chicks were being shipped back east due to frost losses their and could not get any till June.

Thought I'd post my lock down setup. I'm looking for info regarding lowing temps during lock down. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

I have Black Cooper Marans and Oliver Eggs (Ameraucana x BCM) ready to go into lockdown tomorrow. Will I be able to tell the chicks apart when they hatch?

I have Black Copper Manans and Olive Egger eggs set to hatch next Saturday. I have read these are normally late on hatching. Is this true?

Great pictures!

I am sorry to hear of your loss.

Congrats on the new chicks coming. They must be something special to order them from that distance.

Excuse me while I brag a bit but my youngest son just finished Med School and is moving to Mississippi to become an Emergency Resident Physician with Ole Miss University Hospital. He always enjoyed raising chickens growing up which I'm sure has led to his success.

I have a one year old Cream Legbar over EE cross that is toying with going broody. But every night she is roosting with the others. I'm leaving non-fertal eggs I've marked for her hoping she comes around. I have 14 eggs in a incubator for Easter which I think is more than she could handle...

So sorry for your friend and her loss.

I can not speak high enough of my California Gray hens. Their on the smaller size and lay 6 med size white eggs each week like clockwork. They are curious, friendly, and not rough with their pen mates.

Maybe it's in the water?

On my calendar.

I'm not ready to buy eggs or chicks yet but thinking I'd like to have a bantam Cochin pen specifically for the Broody hens and hatching eggs. Any input would be nice. Which colors make the best broodies or just general pen design ideas or anything else. Do some breeders breed for broodyness...
