Hello! I just got gifted this handsome man a few days ago. I am told he’s about seven months old. I was convinced he was a black Australorp until I saw his feet, now I’m not sure! It kinda looks grey… but it also looks yellow… what do you guys think? Please help!!! He’s been very lowkey so far...
My backyard mix chicks are 4 weeks now and I am starting to see some comb development, I have an idea of what they may be gender wise but I would love some of your guesses. Thanks! :)
Chick single comb A: chick pea comb B:
Chick pea comb C: chick single comb D:
I want to get BOxJG crosses later on. I have a BO cockerel and 4 JG pullets. Has anyone ever done this cross? If so, what do they look like, and how hardy and prolific can they be?
The BO at the left end is the cockerel, and the black ones are the JG pullets.
Last week, I got 5 new baby chicks (Amberlink, ISA Brown, Maran, Easter Eggger, and Jersey Giant). The Jersey Giant was a straight run so I took the chance. A few years ago I got all pullets and still ended up with a roo. My question is how early do you notice roo behavior? I wouldn’t say his...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes. I've had a couple chickens before years ago but didn't really have the time to care for them properly.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?None. Zero. 15 chick's coming the end of February.
(3) What breeds do you...
