Neet Neet is offended.

They would only try to kill your standard roosters, not your hens. :p

Even when I had ~10 roosters, the only thing that woke me up was the neighbor’s dogs.

What if you don’t eat chicken?

I don’t know. I feel like even a portion of them should be sold separately from the pullet chicks, but it’s possible that no one would buy them.

That’s better than being killed as a day old chick.

I wouldn’t worry about them, I’m sure that people buy them before that happens. It is really sad what happens to male chicks, though.

I edited this post to make my point clearer.

I’ve noticed that too. Most of the hatchery dual purpose breeds have a very similar body shape, while SQ versions of those breeds are much more distinctive. Same for the layer breeds.

I define Easter eggers as any first generation mix of a blue egg laying breed or any hatchery bred Easter egger x Easter egger. However, for example, calling a legbar x australorp an EE doesn’t mean it’s not a legbar x australorp, it just means it can also be classified as an EE because it’s a...

I only dislike when hatchery or mixed breeds are mislabeled, such as if they were sold as show quality purebreds. I actually prefer mixes. I don’t think I would ever want to breed two chickens of the same breed together, to be honest. :lol:

Not all walnut combs are like silkie combs.

There’s nothing wrong with hatchery birds if you’re not breeding towards the SOP.

What crosses are your’s? I have noticed a lot of chickens that have a beard or green legs being called EEs, though the fact that there are so many EEs with different traits (whiting true blues, starlight green eggers, etc) bred by hatcheries doesn’t help.

My chickens all eat flock raiser from the feeder. And they’re all actively laying hens.

Here’s one... if properly cared for, kept in a clean environment, and provided with dirt, sunlight, and vegetation, there isn’t a problem with keeping house chickens.

Most RSLs have white neck feathers. :lol:

The caption is describing it. Swedish blacks don’t have crests, beards, and they certainly aren’t that round. ;)

That’s not a silkied Swedish black. That’s just a silkie. :lol:

The last two are silkie x cochin mixes. They’re not silkied. What’s so bad about silkied cochins?
