my Muffy she lives inside

Just curious, does she wear a chicken diaper or is she trained? I see a lot of people on here that keep their birds inside and Ive always wondered how they deal with the poop.

oh, and if you are luck enough to have any duckwing based colors. The trick on them is black breast = male salmon/pinkish breast = female.
takes a while to get to that point in them though, hackles and saddles will becoming in about the same time

Just out of curiosity, what color are the bbr based off of?

Quote: The bbr is the original chicken color. The color of the red jungle fowl whose mutations are responsible for every color and breed that exist today. It is the most basic color having only gold genes on an e+ allele(duckwing).

So all the Broodie's are of their nest with chicks. Well except me because I kept the incubator going because I knew there would be late eggs because they all kept stealing eggs. Hens have 24 chicks and I have about ten in the brooder. The Devil... Oops I mean D'Anver girls have 5. 1 LF EE who is rusty brown in color. 1 Black who I think is from my Seabright who liked their nest box. 3 Porcelain. ???What's up with that? All Three have clean legs so I don't think they are d'Uccle. guess we will see as they grow. I do have a Milli in the brooder. I would post pics, but they have earned the devil name. They both flog me when I open the coop door to give them food and water. If the were bigger than gnats I would have a problem. Rusty even got me this am... Crazy birds!

I have always wondered how they do it, but this evening I saw a broody quail hen pick an egg up under her chin hold it against her breast and carry it 6 feet to the corner where she had set up shop. Don't know why but I had always pictured them clamping them between their body and wing to move them.

You mean those hens are flogging you? Have they lost it completely? Mine are not usually like that, but those two were raised in a chaotic group, which seems to make a difference in some of them.

That is so cool that you caught her in the act.


Maura's eggs are pipping. Thursday is Day 20. She has only three of them now, two of her own and one of Mina's.

Here are the pics of the Penny and Carly's chicks that I couldn't post the other day when they hatched because of my messed up modem. New modem finally arrived and put me back in business, though there seems to be something wrong with my ethernet card in my computer.
