Hey all. I just got 2 frizzle fibro Easter Eggers and I'm wondering how to sex them.
The farm we got them from say "First generation should get their fibro from their dad given to female offspring only" so they think they are female and didn't sex them.
Is that true? We have always had...
We just got mystic onyx chicks 3 weeks ago so I’m curious what a can learn about this interesting breed! Pictures would be greatly appreciated!:jumpy(since I can’t find many online)
I got this bird as an egg from a local lady, she says the dad was a Mystic Onyx (with a bright red comb??) and not sure about the mom but she has some black sex link hens.
4 month old now, crows every morning but is a gentle giant. I can’t keep it if it keeps crowing :(

Laying on side
Limping
Swollen foot
I have been giving her water with electrolytes in it but I think I need to wrap it but...
Hi everyone. I noticed this morning one of our Mystic Onyx hens is limping pretty pronounced. I did not notice it yesterday and when I grabbed her to exam it didn’t appear swollen but it did seem tender when I touched it and she reacted and there was no scab like google suggests bumblefoot...
Hi everyone, I'm new to having chickens and everything has gone well so far except for this girl.
She is a mystic onyx which I understand has some Silkie in it. She has always been a bit of a lone ranger but ever since about the 4 week mark she has slowly developed scabby, bumpy, and flakey skin...
