SP ... no way. Mixed breed. Male... but mixed bred.

That tail says roo to me too. The comb says hen. What about her heckle and saddle feathers? Thin and pointed or short and round?

Ee pullet, green eggs most likely.... possible olive Egger though so olive green.

Black Sumatran. I have a bunch of them. I really love them. My three year old has even managed to hide outside and hatch out 6 half silver ducking frizzle half Sumatran chick's 4 days before Christmas. .. in the cold, rain, and fending off possums. She's a phenomenal mom. First rate!! She's...

In the past 4 days I have lost 3 hens. All have been inside the house. 2 were overnight but this one was found this evening. All carcasses have been picked clean. No teeth marks and no broken bones. Parts have been separated by connective tissue being eaten away. The coop is only...

If you can bring him up to the Enumclaw area I will take him... I've got other chickens so I have to ask a few questions. #1 was he vaccinated? #2 is he friendly with other birds #3 age? (Younger birds integrate easier).

Lol. Umm i wish youd told me that two years ago... ive got two of them. They worked great the first year then totally flopped this year. Hatch one i lost a couple. Hatches after that were worse each time. Ive done about 5 hatches in each...Nothing made it to hatching this last time. Not one egg.

I have that much inside the houses but not the run. Keep in mind that it compacts down. We have been doing the deep method for 2 years and love it. Our runs kept getting muddy and gross (its the northwest) so we put down large bark chips that we got from a landscaping supply comapny for $10...

Any lanshan (hens) x easter egger crosses? Thinking of doing this for bigger taller hens

using my hand to show which end is which... Sizzle. Mother was an ordinary black silkie X ordinary black frizzle cochin bantam... Obviously they both carried blue.

Fabio. EE i think. Green tail with white rimmed feathers. Extreme sheen tail saddle heckles. Muff and beard. Bandito No clue. came with ee chicks. Definitely not. So what is he? Photos dont do him justice at all. Dark bandinf throughout bright yellow legs. Stray boy. Young. Hasn't...
