    Sorry It’s Been A Long While

    Sorry it’s been a long while since I last posted. Let me give you an update on their progress. My chickens are doing great. We used to have 11 chickens but two died. The two that died were Fidget the Silkie and Martha the Faverolle chicken. We had to sell the white cockerel male, which I renamed...

    Is this Black Sex Link a rooster?

    I have 2 Black Sex Chickens that we got from Tractor Supply. They are 14 weeks old and were sold as females. They were both completely black chicks, but now they look so different. Is one a rooster? Everything I read says the roosters have a white dot on their head as chicks and neither of...

    Black Sex Link? Black Australorp? Black Jesery Giant? Help!

    Hello! I traded with my uncle a while back and got 2 hens. He said he ordered them through a hatchery and these girls were Black Sex Link hens. A few days ago. I hatched eggs from my flock in my incubator and found three chicks that looked nothing like the Barred Rock chicks I normally...

    Big, swollen foot

    8 year old Black Sex Link. She’s always had gnarly feet but lately her left one is noticeably larger. She isn’t limping or acting like it hurts. I’m thinking the dark spots on the bottom are maybe bumblefoot? There’s also a bump on the side that looks like a cyst or something. Any help is...

    Chickens laying at 17 weeks, done growing?

    I have 6 chickens that are 17 weeks old and they just started laying. They are still so small and in my experience with my other hens, once they lay their first few eggs they are about done growing. Is this the case with these next few? I’m worried that they will stay this small and they only...

    Gene Behind Black Combs

    I'm so fascinated by chicken genetics! Two of my 7mo BSL hens have very small black combs and wattles. One is slightly mottled. Is there a particular breed or gene that would cause this? My other 7mo BSL "Rexy" has a very normal big red comb and big wattles and has since she was...

    My favorite girl, Opal

    I know we're probably not supposed to play favorites, but Opal makes it hard to resist. She's a black star, and as soon as I remove the top of their tub, she'll hop onto the rim and then onto my shoulder or head. Eventually she'll settle down in my cupped hands and drift to sleep. She's such...

    Howdy From Texas!

    Began my flock in Spring of 2014. Started with Australorps and Buff Orps. Am down to one Australorp and two Buffs. Bought five Black Sex Links in Spring of 2017. They are now mature enough to free range with the older girls. Looking forward to high egg production from the BSL's.
