Not really. One of my blue/black OE is the highest ranking in the flock and one is among the lowest. One of my splash boys is very docile and lets us pick him up, and the other two slash boys are always posturing at each other. Those two are constantly arguing over second place. The splash girl...
Hello from Florence County!!! What kind of chickens do you have? I grew up with all sorts, but I've been raising my first personal flock since March. They're Easter Eggers, Olive Eggers, and 4 true Ameraucanas. Also, I just got 5 more EE, 6 polish and 6 leghorns. Between my family and friends I...
The hatch date works - he's only 2 or 3 weeks older than mine.
I would think that Priority poultry shipping would work. I just got a batch of babies shipped like that last week. From the time they hatched, it took exactly 49 hours for them to be in my home drinking and eating. They were shipped...

Thank you. I'm trying to pick the two most different birds from my small flock to crerate the most varity inplumage color possible. The male is half blue splash marans and half Ameraucana . The person I got the female from had both kuckoo marans and Cornish in same "hen pen" as the Ameraucana...
Can anyone help me with a question I have? If I were to cross my blue splash olive egger with the EE pullet next Spring, what would the chicks grow up to look like?
I'm glad you have a place for him :) He really is a very handsome bird.
Here is a picture of mine that yours reminded me of.
He was seven weeks in this picture, the one on the right is a girl.
