    The "Dynamic Duo" seeking a new flock to call home *Raleigh NC*

    I got Lucy (Cream legbar) and Penny (Sapphire gem) in 2020 and 2021 respectively. Both hens are super friendly and have brought me joy for years. They are the remaining duo from a small backyard flock. I had 11 at one time but age and circumstances have shrunk the flock to these 2 ladies...

    First egg!

    We woke up as soon as the girls went into their runner to put one of the girls in jail (being a bully) and found an egg in the henhouse! So exciting!!:wee The egg also appears to have the letter "A" scratched on it, which my niece pointed out to me, and funny enough, my name starts with the...

    Sapphire Gem or Jersey Giant or something else?

    Recently adopted this chick thinking it was a sapphire gem pullet, but it's quite a bit larger than our buff orp. and silver laced of the same age, and has some colors I know can happen with a hybrid breed, but the size and colors are making me think we maybe instead got a mislabeled Jersey...

    Bad eggs

    Hello, Not sure which hen laid this egg, but I'd like to figure what may have caused this so i can prevent all my hens laying these. I read the article about eggs, and now I'm worried about everything we do or don't do for them :hit Husband thinks this may be from our smallest Sapphire Gem...

    Sapphire gen rooster to barred rock hen

    Has anyone had chicks out of a sapphire gem rooster to barred rock hen? Anyone who has more knowledge than I do know what colors I should expect? I’m expecting a decent egg production am I right in thinking that? I have an American game hen currently sitting on a clutch of her own eggs and also...

    Please help injured chick got swollen again😭

    I’ve been using neosporin without pain reliever, and spraying BANNIXX for CHIXX all around her neck. She tries to get the neosporin off, probably swallows some, BUT … I’m concerned that she had a swollen side last week, I posted and asked about it, I’m brand new to raising chickens, and adult...

    They are in the Shoop!

    Chickies have spent their first night in the shoop! 🤗 We've given them some grass and dandelion leaves, and they love them! I was thrilled to not see 💩 in the water or food! They are so very happy - and so is Mama :love

    2 sapphire gems, roo or pullet?

    At the moment, I have 2 sapphire gems. I was told they were both pullets, but one has far less feathers, but are supposed to be the same age. Also stand more like a roo a lot of the time. The both are lacking on the tail bit, but they are 3 weeks old now. Even if one is a roo, I'm keeping him as...

    Are we ladies?

    Hello, bought all as pullets. I am suspicion of a few though. A few of them have stand offs but I haven’t seen anyone actually be mean, we’ve heard zero crowing and only a buff makes different noises than the rest of them but she sounds like a momma chicken. I’m also new, I did do research on...
