Thank you both! I wanted a more confirmed answer rather than just researching online :)

I’ve read different opinions on when it’s the right time to breed your doe for the first time. One I see the most is her age and weight. My doe is a LionLop, roughly 15 weeks old. And while she’s not age appropriate to breed yet (I believe) she’s past weight appropriate. Last week she weighed...

Rounded them up today and here they are! Jim Tom and Overa. The gobbler is actually a sweetheart, the hen is very timid. They settled in well with the hens, which is great. I’m going to research but I’ll throw it out here anyway. Does anyone know what breed Overa might be? To me Jim Tom looks...

Thanks! I’m really excited about getting them

I will probably be acquiring a pair of turkeys within the next couple weeks from a neighbor. A slate tom and I’m not sure what the hen is. They will have to be housed with my chickens temporarily until I can get them a coop of their own built. Right now the only feed ration they get is cracked...

With my most recent hatch of chicks I've come across an oddball of the bunch. A penguin colored chick. Does anyone know what color it should come out to be when grown? Parents are paint showgirl hen and black (with gold hackle and saddle leakage) rooster. It's a cute little bugger I know that...

I've saw the parents of these birds once, the rooster is a paint showgirl and the turken hen was tan with black wing and tail tips. Since a showgirl is made up of a turken crossed with silkie, cross that back with a turken I had no idea what would come of it. I was kind of surprised to see the...

Back in the winter I bought several eggs from a friend to hatch. Two of those eggs came from the same pair of chickens. A showgirl rooster with a turken hen. I know when you cross those two together there no telling what you could get, and I have proof of that! These two roosters, I call them...

I have a mixture of black and paint silkie and showgirls, as well as the oddball silver partridge silkie. They are 4 1/2 weeks old. These were project chicks so they could have leakage as adults. Parents were silver partridge silkie rooster over paint showgirl hens. ***please note the silver...

Here are my paint showgirls. I fell in love with the color and breed as soon as I saw them. Last summer I bought several six week old chicks, this winter I tried a project with them but didn't really hatch the chicks I wanted. So this summer I plan on breeding with a purpose. I'm super excited...
