I bought what was supposed to be BO from TS: then it dawned on my that their wing feathers are black and white. Is this a mix breed or even an Orpington at all?
I have 4 silkie pullets available. 3 blue and 1 black. All very sweet. I believe the 2 older blues (under 1 year) are laying but the younger 2 should be by this year.
1 - breeder quality blue hen. 5 toes, blue ears, good comb. Asking $100 obo
2 - pet quality blue hen. Has a comb defect, but...
Hi all!
I'm looking for recommendations for any local hatcheries in Oklahoma or breeders. We're in Guthrie and only allowed hens so sexed is preferred, but I understand that isn't always possible.
I'm not set on chicks, but looking for good layers. We're newbies and do want some family friendly...
Hello there all you lovely chicken-experts, we got a first egg from Ella our Easter Egger today and it was a biggie (70g) 🙌. It’s got us wondering what she might be crossed with and if we might have a blue egg layer crossed with a Brahma or Cochin maybe 🤞🏼? I ask because I noticed a few rogue...
Hello all, happy Sunday. We’ve lost a hen today, very suddenly and I’m wondering what could have happened. She is a new layer, started laying about two weeks ago and had laid about five eggs since then with no apparent issue. Her most recent egg came yesterday afternoon.
Yesterday she was her...
I have a chicken named Frank that’s feathers grew in fully sheathed. At around 3 or 4 weeks old I noticed the chicks head slouching. I separated it from the flock and babied it back to health. Eventually it was able to raise its head again but took a very long time to grow feathers. The feathers...
So, as I've mentioned beforehand I've got around 30 birds. (3 rotten ducks too) and some of the gals I hatched out are mutts. They are completely black without combs. Not laying yet as I've sat outside and meticulously watched them lol 😆 I've got to much time on my hands yes I know. Anyways...
Doesn’t matter if they’re silver, gold, buff, as long as they’re full sebright.
Will take a few especially if multiple colors.
Will make a considerable drive for them, as I’ve done before.
(Reading this years down the road? Probably still interested. lol)
Hi, I show through my high schools FFA chapter. I have been showing for 2 years and have owned 12 birds over those 2 years. I have a silver laced polish cock that would like some company. I want one or two friendly (not timid) pullets preferably silver laced, but I understand if that is too...
I have two Ameraucanas in my flock (I THINK). The topic still confuses me, because I've learned that just because a chicken has parents that are both Ameraucanas, if they don't meet a certain color requirement, they might not TECHNICALLY be Ameraucanas, but instead be simply classified as an...
I'm looking for a silver hmong pullet or hen. I attached a picture for reference. The picture is NOT one of my chickens. I already have a black hmong cockerel. I would like to have a breeding pair. Thank you for your time.
The parents of this pullet (2-3 months) are both standard feathered Ayam cemanis. However, she developed leg feathers. Does other variants of Ayam cemani (bottle brush, walik, frizzle) have this characteristics?
Merry Christmas to all!!!!
Hi! These ladies are 16 weeks old and I am fascinated by them! Prior to this group of chicks, we have had chickens that are a specific breed and easy to identify. I’m new to EEs and interested in learning more about them. Can anyone help me identify what breeds may have been used to produce...
Hi Everyone!
I'm a professional poultry nutritionist based in the US (BS in Animal Science and MS in Animal Science focused on poultry). My Master's thesis focused on pullets, layers, and broilers growth and production. I can get more specific if there's interest!
I wanted to hop on here...
Hi I've just bought this girl, supposed to be a cream legbar girl and we love her already. But my daughter just noticed the spurs. She's only young (don't know the exact age as she was picked out from a flock of about 300 chickens of all various ages and breeds). 8-12 weeks somewhere... Do you...
We're in the process of integrating 4, 9 week old pullets into our flock of 5, 8 month olds. After a few weeks of them getting to know each other we finally let them interact and after 5 hours of peaceful supervised time they were given some unsupervised time so we could get some chores done...
