Hi everyone - new chicken keeper here. Our gals are 8 months old and coming into their first winter up here in Canada.
When I was out changing the water this morning, I noticed our CCL legs look a bit thicker than the other hens. They were always thicker but this seems even more thicker than...
We have a few girls coming into lay right now. I’m expecting our olive egger and our CCL to lay within the next 3-6 weeks.
I checked both girls to see the width of their pelvic bones and the CCL, even though she is a month younger seems to have spread further apart… 2.5 fingers versus the 1.5...

So I want to attend a show this September just to get the experience. I don’t plan on winning best of show or anything lol but can someone look at my chickens and tell me which one/s you would take to the show? Obviously these are not great pictures at all and they’re a few weeks old. Pictures...
I was hoping one of you genetics folks could answer a question for me. My BCM x CCL cross produced 2 sexlinked pure black pullets and 2 barred cocks (10 weeks give or take now), if the cross had been the other way around, CCL X BCM would my pullets have been barred? A poster on another forum...
