    UPDATE: customer reports it might be one of their OWN blue Marans. [\B] One of my customers reported hatching out this chick. I have never seen this color but read that Garfield Farms (the breeder I bought from got all his there) hatched out a gray and white chick that feathered out all white...

    Oh interesting! Yes I love all things reproduction too. Usually eggs are pretty easy to tell one side from the other...but sometimes not! I find it funny that BJs are so hardy that even an egg laid in the barn who knows when (I figured let's give it a shot and see if it develops) and shipped...

    So glad you are having good development. We shipped those just after a cold snap so I wondered if fertility would be affected, thus the extras :)

    I have Black Javas only...my birds came from a closed flock straight from Garfield Farm. A few of them have some auburn bits on their faces and heads at hatch. One born yesterday has a LOT of auburn on face. The ones that have had this are generally VERY dark all over with more like gray...

    Pretty much as I thought but I do appreciate the really detailed explanation. I had chosen to consider her a laying hen only but keeping her in pen with the BJ flock to keep a good ratio (I can tell her eggs very easily as they are MUCH lighter and a longer shape--has anyone else seen this in...

    Hi all. Back on track with raising and breeding Black Javas after a two yr hiatus for a move to the big city (friends, I don't recommend that). So what's happening in the Black Java world? I found a flock of pure Garfield Museum birds from an old farmer here (a few hrs away) who doesn't ship...

    well they are your birds and you paid good money for them...no yellow at all on feet is a disqualification IF SHOWING YOUR BIRDS. they can be great layers, broodies, and bred with a brightly yellow-footed male can throw babies with yellow feet. we all work with flaws in our birds. just my...

    Well I got seven BJs out of my last two hatches. Every BJ egg I tried to hatch DID hatch; no fertility issues even with my Malcolm getting to be a "mature" adult. Another great thing about BJs...maintain their vitality and vigor longer in the middle of their lives. I hatched a couple of...

    I wondered if that was possible. So, if I breed to another MJ (assuming that is what it is) I could get some mottled chicks, right?

    a few of the BJs i just hatched out. look at that funny one in the top left! what in the world? these birds were completely sequestered on all four sides...I know it is a pure BJ but I have not seen one like that before.

    i am so lucky about that issue...chicken coach on BYC gave me my first BJs a couple years ago, and has taken some of my birds/eggs back over to his place (nice in case I lose my roo!) He and I are getting some Monte Bowen eggs later in the Summer to add some new blood. It is so neat knowing...

    I am in lockdown with 25 eggs in my brinsea eco 20 (why don't they call it eco 24 or 25?) lol. I gathered 8 Black Java eggs to hatch, and 7 were looking awesome at lockdown candling (the eighth was infertile). In fact, one of them may have twins. Every time I candled, I noted two dark areas...

    Got my birds separated into their spring breeding pens, and collecting eggs now. So excited to fire up the brinsea and see some new Black Java chicks next month! Chicken Coach, are you hatching some too? How is that BJ male I sent over doing? I moved another pair out recently to another...
