Hi, I got a dozen hatching eggs from a lady who said she had 1 Cuckoo Marans Rooster and 1 Cochin Rooster and a mix of Cuckoo Marans, Easter Egger, and Cochin hens. So, in theory you should get a nice assortment of mixes with possiblities of true bred Marans and Cochins. Please look at the...
So I got 2 female ducklings (mix between pekin, rouen, and welsh harlequin) and 2 female chicks (black sex link and columbian rock plymouth) a few weeks ago. The ducklings are currently about 4 weeks old and the chicks 5 weeks old, but the ducks are significantly bigger. They were in seperate...

I have a month old buff Orpington who along with her roomies gets daily field trips outside for a few hours still to cold to leave out all night (I don’t want to wire the coop for lighting). But today after awhile I noticed she was limping and favoring her left foot. A closer look showed some...
I have two others I’d like to identify as well! Met jerry, the first lighter chicken. He’s got five toes but much larger than everyone else.
The next is four toes but very feathered on the feet and sweet natured. What breeds do y’all think?
