Wow! Thanks Natj !! I’m learning so much from both you and eggsited4life about the beard and muff genes. I appreciate the help and all the information 🙏🏻🙌🏻

Thank you! I appreciate your feedback! I was not aware of those particular genetics for bearded/ non bearded. Im not necessarily in it for show quality (yet) but I did want to start off with a good breeding stock and eventually get better and better. I really appreciate your help! I’m hoping...

I have been in the same boat as you are, too many times really 🤦🏼‍♀️ What I do now is keep everyone until 10-12 weeks minimum. Personalitys start changing once the teenage hormones start. Then I narrow it from there. Then once they hit laying age I may decide another one or two can go. I have...

They were being sold as BBS and my avatar is a picture of one of the girls I got. But I’ll attach a few more. I only saw the parent stock in pictures tho.

Hello! I spent a good amount of money on some hatching eggs that were supposed to be true Ameracaunas but I’m wondering if I was scammed… I did purchase eggs from the same person 5ish months ago and everything was fine. I got some Ameracaunas. But this time I am questioning it. I’m posting...

I save all my eggshells and feed them back to my chickens. I just rinse the shells and let them air dry for a few days and roughly crush them and put them in with the oyster shells I have. They love the eggshells and will pick those out first. Try adding some oyster shells to help with the...

Well with it being summer now I try not to turn on my oven if possible so I guess I’ll be skipping this. I would love to have had two of my favorite things mingled together, coffee and chickens!

What is your process for drying it? I would have access to a bunch of used coffee grounds if I wanted but is drying it labor intensive?

Sorry for your loss. She sure was beautiful. It’s easy to blame yourself but please don’t. It’s no way your fault. We do our best to protect our flocks but we can’t be everywhere at the same time. You’re doing a fantastic job and this kind of stuff is bound to happen now and again. Hang in...

I think you have the option to not have a subscription. But then you’re not going to have any ability to record, set up zones or have any way to look back at a certain picture or video. The subscription is relatively low. I use the Arlo system for my chickens and my house and for an unlimited...

I also use Arlo cameras for my coop and run. I have them set to detect motion so there’s no lights on them unless they or something is/are moving. It’s come in handy way too many times for me not to have them now. They aren’t the cheapest option but they work great!!

I was on the fence about her being an OEGB. I have 2, a roo and a hen, but they are silver duckwing and I got them when they were already over a year old so I never saw them as babies. She is so sweet too! She is perfectly content sitting on my lap watching the others. My little OEGB hen is...

OMG I was thinking maybe she’s an OEGB! Haha! I definitely had that in the back of my head! Thanks for confirming it for me 😁

so self blue means lavender? And thanks!!

7-8 weeks ago I got some bantams from TSC mixed bantam bin. I know what the others are but I have no clue what this little one is. I think it’s a pullet but I can’t say that with certainty as I have no idea on the breed. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Yes I think you’re right! I was thinking the crested one is a polish mix because of the absence of the silkie traits and the face on the other one resembles a brahma. I was hoping they were pure bantam cochins 😌 I appreciate your help!!

2 girls!

Interesting… I did notice the crest on the one and wondered about it. What do you think the mix is? Cochin and what else?

I’m not too familiar with bantam Cochins so it’s a little difficult for me to pinpoint who is what gender. Any one out there with experience please help. Thanks!

This is Hazel! She’s my 1.5 yr old partridge silkie.
