Thanks for the info!
I was really curious about the egg location.
I feel so bad that I didn't see this before! I'm not usually down on the ground with them where I can see under their chin, and they usually keep their head upright when I pick them up.
We are getting all set up for treatment...
I was wondering if there is any reason my four BLRW would be more prone to chicken lice? They hang out with the entire flock, but it looks like JUST those 4 might have lice?
It is ONLY under their chin like that, same for all 4. But nobody else in the flock seems to have it and...
My only grown BLRW went broody this year. She's 3 this summer, I only got her a year ago so she may have gone broody with her old family too, but she's a great momma!!!
I don't have these girls so that's the best picture I have, but we were pretty sure they were both pullets too. I traded her...
All of them are from the eggs I bought from you =)
Here are 2 more from the same hatch that I gave to a friend (there is a 3rd but it's hiding behind them so you can't see it)
Any guesses on any of the genders?
They are gorgeous birds so thank you!
These are my 4 BLRW, hatched early May -1 splash, 1 possibly dark blue with dark neck (which I LOVE), 1 dark blue with orange neck (not pictured), and 1 black with orange neck. Originally you guys pegged 2 of the darker ones as boys, but I'm not sure anymore. What do you guys think for genders...
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas where I could buy some REALLY good quality hatching eggs?
I'm not concerned about price - I may not be able to buy them right now if they are expensive, but I would love to get my hands on some REALLY great quality birds and thought you guys might know...
In the 4th photo - is the one on the right Blue and the one on the left Splash?
I would really like to get into working on and showing this breed I think. I don't know enough yet though - and still need stock lol.
Thanks for your gender help guys =) I told her I would ask you all and see if we couldnt get better guesses or affirmation.
Bummer that there might only be 2 girls! What a shame.
Hi there all!
So I was wondering if any of you could help me with genders on these guys? I have pictures of 6 - each chick has a profile and a headshot.
I gave three away to a friend but she can only have hens so I want to make sure we shuffle the 6 around so she gets all girls as soon as...
Are these guys prone to broodiness?
My adult BLRW has gone broody. She is VISCIOUS! I won't be messing with her... I have no idea what she's setting on though!
That is not actually a picture of my bird =) just one I found online that has the same orange neck feathers. The one I have is about 3 now, I got her a year ago as she had slowed down laying and they were using her in their breeding program. Your orange/gold info is exactly what I was looking...
I have a couple quick questions -
does anyone know what these dark chicks will look like as far as color when they grow?
And I was wondering about the orange neck -
My full grown hen looks like this, her "blue" is a little darker, but not much, however her neck is super orange. Is that...
Oh I'm so glad to hear this! I am new to this breed, but I think they are absolutely gorgeous!
I hope to follow this thread more now that I have a good little flock of them.
Hey there!
I hatched some BLRW chicks a few weeks ago and they don't look much like the other BLRW that I hatched the batch before them.
Is this what they are supposed to look like? Lol
I have a full grown BLR and the older chick looks more like her. All but the last...
