I have Three welsummer or barnevelder chicks (I don't know which ones are which) and one Golden laced wyandott/white rock mix.
The welsummers and barnevelders are about five weeks and I was going to keep them for a few more weeks so they can grow up a little, but if you want them now that's...
Hello everyone,
The type has been sought after for decades by breeders, but just recently it has been created in the last decade or so. Now is your opportunity to have some of these beauties yourself. They are shipped at ten to fifteen days so they can better sustain the trip. I am having...

This is my 4th hatch; I feel awful! We had 10+ eggs and 2 hens incubating. They constantly stole each other's eggs, which I think lead to such a dismal hatch-rate.
Day 1: We got one bantam Barnevelder chick, who was promptly pecked on both ears. (Mother's Day Weekend, no less!) I brought it...
I've been reading various threads on this site for a little over a year, and I thought I had signed up a while ago, but apparently not!
We live in the PNW, and have a growing flock! Here's what we've got currently:

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I grew up with horses, pigs, goats and cattle, but never had chickens. I am new to chickens and will be receiving a shipment from Meyer's Hatchery this week.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I have 6 on the way.
(3)...
Hello all,

So I will quickly tell you a little about me and my...
Hello,
This past summer my soon to be husband bought me 4 chicken and built me a coop for my birthday. Best birthday present ever! We wanted the chickens for fresh eggs and decided to add a few more to our flock. We went to a small farm to buy 4 more chickens and we ended up buying the farm...
Its been awhile since I have been on here! 25 Silver Laced Wyandottes arrived yesterday and 3 Barnevelder Hens arrived today. We had to rehome our whole flock last May after tornados destroyed our farm. So, we are rebuilding!
I have a pure lavender ameraucana rooster, and a barnevelder hen I'm thinking about breeding this year. Has anybody crossed this pair and gotten nice olive eggs? Or are they likely to come out more like an EE egg? I know most people use marans for the dark brown eggs but I don't have any of...

hi all!
I was hoping people had growth/feather development pics from their chicks. I’m curious about how mine will develop and when I can expect to see the pattern start emerging and be fully developed.
Thanks!
Hi everyone! I'm a brand new chicken dad having just acquired my first flock (double silver laced Barnevelder large fowl...it's a mouthful), and my seven bouncing chicky-chunklets are coming up on two weeks of age. I know this is pretty early on to worry about their sex, but I'd read somewhere...
hi everyone. I'm
New to the forum. I've recently received 4 baby chickens that are about 5-6 days old now. I started them
Off in a cardboard box and today I gave them a 16 sq ft upgrade. One of the guys had a little pasty butt. He wasn't happy having that pulled out but he will be in the long...
Our 2.5 year old previous super egg-producer Barnevelder is really struggling. At first I thought it was just an oddly-timed winter moult (Sydney Australia) but then she got sicker with a very pale shrivelled comb/wattle, green diarrhoea, still eating but then not moving much and falling asleep...
Hello all!
I am extremely proud to say that I have successfully hatched out 8 of 12 eggs in my first attempt at incubating chicken eggs! Postal eggs and all!
I had assumed that the hardest part was over but after losing one of my darlings to what I suspect was a slipped tendon; I am now faced...
