    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.

    Help with Chicken Bread

    Hi, I bought what i thought was a batch of Cream Crested Legbar eggs from a supplier in pre-loved. All eggs were very light, some slightly blue some white, when they hatch the first chicken was very dark, (this is my first time hatching fertilised eggs) so i thought it must be a female Legbar...

    BSL stopped laying...is she a 'dud'?

    Hey all, I've searched the forum for this particular problem and haven't found much. I have a mixed flock of 5 hens that are 13 months old. Everyone's laying really well except my black sex link, Rosa. She hasn't laid ONE egg in the last four months (maybe longer). We did use supplemental...
