Isa's Homestead Happenings and Hangout

I'm one of the sensitive bunch. I feel like if it's alive, it deserves a shot. I'd never breed them. But I get that not everyone views it that way.

Id probably be in the same boat mostly. The ones I end up culling usually are pretty evident that they just aren’t thriving. Thankfully I havent really had healthy cull chicks yet

I'm toying with wanting a few blue egg layers when I have my land set up.

Obviously Araucanas (ideally 3 or 4 pens with one mixed color pen and the others for specific colors), but what else would be good blue layers? I'm considering WTBs for the color variation, and in a perfect world I'd also do British Araucanas, but that's not real likely unless i Frankensteined up some.

Real Ameracaunas, cream legbars, EE's. Obvs the latter is a gamble on color.

You are definitely NOT.

Not cooked?

cooked bones can splinter and cut up a dog inside if ingested. Raw bones are soft and don't do that.

I'll already have a mixed pen that will have a few colored layers, EEwise

I've considered some of the Ameraucana colors (probably BBS, mottled and Cuckoo), but I'm just not sure I wanna risk fighting about Ameraucana vs Americana for the rest of my life if I have both.

I suppose I could always do standard Ameraucana and bantam EEs

Oh, okay I thought you seperated the meat away from the bone. I gotcha

I had a black and a splash. They were spunky and laid beautiful eggs. I had a lavender too but she got predator-d before she was old enough to lay.

Single comb naked neck frazzles. (double frizzle gene)

Wow what a "chicken"
Let's make one. Who has the ingredients

 

[sdm111]

We call the ones with 2 bones "flats" and the ones with one bone "drums".
So I would think your drummie is my drum and winglet is my flat.

THANKYOU!! That will be the terminology used in this home for thise 2 pieces. Not so much the drum but the other.

Flats and drums is pretty common here too.
