California - Northern

Thankyou. I'm new to BYC, however, not new to chickens and/or pigeons. The last time I used Ivomec it still worked for me. Since the worms are becoming immuned--what have you been using? :-)
 
My Wife had priority surgery today to repair her wrist joint. No bone reduction so it should heal faster!

I was able to squeeze a chicken and bunny video in though..

Crested Cream Legbar chicks are six weeks old tomorrow.

I'm glad they didn't have to do the reduction!

Also, I had to laugh at the bunny "No, not the chicks! Film meeeeeee!"
 
I've been playing with chicken calculators, because I can, and every single one is showing that, since the rooster is barred, no matter which of the hens laid the eggs I have, all the offspring will be barred, too. Is the barring gene dominant over everything else? I'm just curious as to what the chicks might be like--which is complicated by the fact that my friend that gave me the eggs has gotten her flock as hand-me-downs from people that had to move, so she's not 100% sure as to what everyone is...

The possible crosses are:

Rooster--Barred Rock

Hens--Barred Rock
Dominique
Australorp
Rhode Island Red

Probably all hatchery stock. She also has EEs, but all the eggs I got were light brown (everything laid that day--lots of feathers brought home by my 5-year-old, who hasn't bugged me about wanting a rooster so we can have our own fertile eggs since L's rooster kept crowing at her to stop chasing his girls

(I'm just glad that's all he did!)).

Pretty girls there. My Boys started crowing at about 8 weeks.

Barring is a very dominant.

@ronott1 My 2 year old daughter made me watch that video 5 times.

I am happy that she like it!

The bunny is a pet breed and is so friendly. The breed is like silkie chickens. You do not eat them or use their fur but they really like to cuddle.
