I bought this chick (“Nugget”) from Rural King. I was told she was a Buff Orpington. But as she grew she looked nothing like one. Then when her and my other new hens started laying the mystery deepened. I got her at the same time as my Ameraucana who lays green eggs. She is my only chicken who...
I am getting ready to replace some old ladies in my flock and would love some advice. Here are the breeds I plan to keep around:
Marans
Swedish Flower Hens
Speckled Sussex
(Possibly an Australorp)
I would love a blue egg-laying breed that is genetically a strong blue that has these traits...
Sorry to ask this here, I used to know the answer but it is slipping my mind! Any insight would be super helpful!
If a chicken (specifically, a pullet) hatched out of a blue egg, will it automatically carry the blue egg gene? Or if the dad was a white/cream layer is it possible that they will...
I just accuired a couple of chickens last week that are about 13 weeks old. I was told that they are olive eggers but I don’t know much else about them or their parents. I have noticed that one of them has very pretty blue earlobes. Do y’all think her eggs will be blue?
Hi, so I bought some assorted blue-egging pullets and ended up with four Ameraucanas, two of witch are cockerels. This pullet is the only one without a beard so I'm assuming she's an Easter Egger. Can anyone confirm this?
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am new to chicken. I did have a chicken when I was maybe 6 but do not really remember how I kept it alive.
As soon as the quarantine on chicks was lifted in LA County I got myself my flock.
(2) How many chickens do you have right...
:weeI've loved this sweet little, mohawk-stylin' chick from the day she arrived! Today, at 26 weeks, after hopping up on my lap for a scritch behind the ear, she went into the egg box and produced her first, blue egg (the color in the photo doesn't do it justice!) So pretty! :love
Just wanted to share that two of my Prairie Bluebell Eggers "Dottie" and "Sparkles" have started laying! Sparkles laid first egg last Thursday at 5 months and 1 week old! Dottie laid hers the next day. We live in upstate NY with cold winters so were were not sure when eggs would come. We are so...
My hen was sold to me as a silver laced wyandotte. I have read online that slw are supposed to have yellow legs but mine as gray. She also recently started laying eggs. They are small and a blueish color. I thought silver laced Wyandottes laid larger brown eggs. She also doesn’t look like other...
I am getting a Jersey Giant Roo and I am excited to see what kids of babies I will get! I would love anyone's cross breed pics! My other girls are Lavender, Blue, and Buff Orpingtons, Cream Legbar, Speckled Sussex, and White Maran. Any other crosses would be great to see too!
Also - will the...
Looking to buy 2 blue egg layers to add to add to my flock. They can be easter eggers, aystralorps, legbars or anything like that. I cant spend too much, but I would love to know what you have. Can be anywhere in or around Edmond, Oklahoma.
