Hi there,
I have new chicks and have a few questions on 2 of them. #1- bought from Russell feed and was told it is a buff brahma (about 3 weeks old). #2- bought from tractor supply from the assorted bantam bin (about a week old).
Does #1 look like a Buff Brahma? I don’t see any feather on...
if I crossed a mille fleur to a porcelain will all the chicks be split to porcelain?
Also how long does it take for a duccle bantam to fertilize a hen,basically how many seconds does a roo have to be on a hen in order for her to start laying eggs.
I have 3 French (American) bresse hens that I bought as juveniles and enjoyed having so this year I jumped into chicks from tsc. Tsc makes you buy at least 4 so I got 1 cream legbar pullet (to be sure I got at least one female) and 3 feather footed bantams hoping for a silkie. My chicks are a...
First time having baby chicks, I got 3 random furry feet bantams hoping they were silkies but they all have 4 toes so clearly not lol. Wondering what breeds they are and maybe genders? Obviously nothing is certain til they’re grown but the guessing and watching is part of the fun. I *think* I’ve...
So I wanted to get blue Mille fleurs cochins, I only have chciks as of right now. If I wanted to cross a blue over a Mille fleur, i know it wouldn’t be achieved in the first generation, should I breed that generation to the sibling or one of the parents?? If i was to cross a millefleur/blue...
Hello all! Here is my introduction.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am not new to chickens, but I am still new-ish to ducks. I got my first chickens back in 2014. I started with a pair of Old English Game bantams. I then started showing birds. Once I went to...
I joined this group looking for small breed seramas and OE bantams. My kids love the small birds. Looking for all white seramas in the Kansas City area. Thanks!
hey guys, sorry im doing a double forum post as i just posted a question about a different one of my adult chickens, i figured i'd also ask about my first hatch. it's a product of my hen (suspected silver laced cochin) and either one of my roosters, which is a golden buff silkie named sam, and a...
My silkie hen just decided she wanted to brood some eggs. My question is, will it be too cold once they hatch? Is it too cold for her to even successfully incubate? It’s and 35 degrees Fahrenheit here at night and 50 during the day.
On another note I’m not even sure she can brood in the coop...
Hello,
I have recently fallen in love with bantam frizzle polish chickens, I am located in british Colombia and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get some.
Let me know!
Hello!
My broody left her nest for a romp and snack, so I went to check the eggs (day 19) and saw one had pipped! Heard some peeps too, very cute. But when she got back in the nest, she basically kicked the poor thing and it rolled over. And then she scooped it back under her. I expect hens...
Hi all,
So I recently fell in love with Olandsk Dwarfs. They are so pretty, and I just love the mille fleur coloring! They are a pretty scarce breed, so I am considering breeding them to the SOP and selling eggs and chicks. However, I also love colored eggs, and I was thinking of having a...
I got 11 new chicks in from a hatchery; 5 Sultans, 2 Porcelain D'Uccles Bantams, 2 Marans, and 2 Easter eggers. Easter eggers can be tricky because they are a mix but I am hoping someone has had one like this before. Can anyone show me what it will look like when it is an adult? As you can...
I was dumb and thought that I would remember what day I started incubating my silkie eggs. I did not remember and now I’m not sure how much longer they have. Could anyone take a guess based on pics? They are quite active. I saw feet and legs kicking and could see their individual toes inside the...
Hi, I have a 6month old mixed breed bantam chicken, who I have no idea whether they are a rooster or a hen though I am leaning more towards rooster. They are very dominant in the flock but have not crowed or laid an egg unlike their siblings from the same batch. Would love some other opinions on...
