So I recently got a duck advertized as a welsh harlequin drake :D, but he's a lot bigger than the female I have. When I looked it up it, it seems that the drakes for WH and SA look exactly alike?! How can you tell them apart? I can post pictures of mine later but I just want to learn the breed...
Hey guys, I'm back!!
My mom, dad, and I got 6 chicks a couple weeks ago, 3 are broilers, and 3 are Calico Princess. This is my first time having the Calico Princess chicks... Anyways my question is, how good are they for laying? And also how is their behavior around kids and other animals...
i wanna see your crossed birds! I love chickens! Currently hatched out a bunch of Cochin crosses! Few Cochin x polish few white leghorn x Cochin a few regular Cochin
I recently ordered two Favaucanas from My Pet Chicken and I LOVE them! They're so pretty and unique, so different from the rest of y flock lol. I was wondering more info about them, since they're a designer breed. Anyone own any of these pretty birds?
What type of breeds would you not recommend putting together? Also would you recommend me combining smaller chickens like silkies with regular laying chickens?
I am expanding my backyard flock into a breeding program intending to sell chicks/ fertile eggs, etc. I am in the west Georgia area. What breeds do you guys think would sell well to get started?
Okay, so because of ordinances in my area, I'm only allowed to have 4 chickens total. (I know, it's terrible, isn't it?!)
We will finally be moving from a 950 ft apartment in Southern California to a large house with some land in the San Bernardino mountains. I'm so, so excited because I've...
Hi there,
I am looking for hatching eggs in NY, approx 68 to fill our incubators. I would rather have them close to NY for shipping purposes. Please let me know price, breed , location & shipping cost in case I cannot due local pick-up.
Thank you
I know that it takes crosses of Barred Plymouth Rock roosters on New Hampshire hens to get a true Delaware. Has anyone breed a Delaware with a Delaware, if so what did it look like?
I got curious from seeing so many Facebook posts “what breed is my chicken” with answers like “that bird has yellow legs so it is a barred rock, not a cuckoo marans”. I have also heard from multiple people that, if a bird does not meet the breeds sop(within reason) that it is not considered that...
Okay I have a female blue Swedish runner duck, and a male white crested/ fawn runner. I'm expecting them to breed soon but I can't seem to find any clear pictures of what their ducklings might look like! If anyone has any pictures of this mix please share!!
So, we got 4 ducklings from Tractor Supply a few months back, they were mixed breed/sexes...
Three of them are drakes, and the female (mine) is the smallest. Her name is Hula and the breed guesses for when she was a duckling (first few pics) were Blue Swedish or Khaki Campbell - I believe she is...
Hey, I was wandering about chickens of different colours breeding. What colour would the chicks be?
My example is, if I was to breed a black silkie with a white one, what colour would it be?
What do you guys think about new hampshire chickens? When I first started researching about chickens (to get ones myself) I've never heard of them. After the research I did for my blog, these girls are amazing! I put them second on my list. Great learning experience! Still happy with my choice...
Every Spring, the same thing. The vicious cycle of "Chick Season" begins. Feed Stores everywhere are stocking various breeds of young offspring with dirt cheap prices to help sell their higher value inventory and create a steady stream of new customers shopping within their proprietorship.
And...
