So I have a clutch of eggs hatching, and some of them are crested cream legbar eggs. My rooster is a blue game mix, and when the first chick from a blue egg hatched, it had a white spot on it's head, which reminded me about autosexing. I know pure crested cream legbars are auto sexing...is it...

I have a hen that has been sitting on like, nearly 30 eggs (its a long story :rolleyes:). The first one hatched yesterday. A second one several hours later, and a third this morning. I don't see any other pips. How long do I let her keep sitting on those eggs? How do I know when I can start...

I have two rare-breed assortment chicks in my order. I am pretty sure one of them is a buff brahma, but I am not sure about the other one. Maybe buckeye? She doesn't have a single comb. The possibilities follow. What say you? Buckeye Ancona Easter Egger Ameraucana Sumatra Andalusians Appenzeller...

Okay, this is kind of a long story. I lost my blue orpington to old age about a month ago (she hatched in 2012, came from my pet chicken hatchery). I loved her dearly. She moved with me when I returned to university to finish my degree, and was the sole survivor of multiple assaults by a...

So, this is kind of a long story, but here goes. In 2012, I ordered some chicks from My Pet Chicken. This order included blue orpingtons. The following year, I moved to return to university and complete my degree. I took my chickens with me. A neighbor dog slaughtered all but my now single blue...

Bought three pullets, suspected one to be a roo when I brought them home, now I suspect all three. Thoughts?

I got a batch of freezer camp sexlink roosters (the white ones with black mantles), and a few barnyard mixes from a local lady. The barnyard mixes were straight run. I think the one with the black patch at the base of the tail may be a rooster, and the cream colored one with feathered shanks and...

So, my local ASOs brought me a new roo today....he's brand new, and afraid, so sorry for the poor pics...he has a black breast with smutty pseudo lacing (or really poor actual lacing, but he wont let me get a good look or a pic), feathered shanks, and he is not single combed...any ideas?

My blue orpington seems to be going through her first "big girl" molt...except it appears that her new feathers have come in...she didn't loose all of her old feathers...she looks very patchy. Parts of her have beautiful new blue feathers, and the rest of her has ragged feathers that are longer...

Ever had one of those days where you just wanna retreat from the world for a while? yep. that was me today. Until my guy came home. With a fresh leg of deer!!! Bacon wrapped deer steaks, asparagus, and homemade mashed potatoes for dinner. A gal could get used to this!

I just moved to a half acre in the middle of a small town, and found out I AM ALLOWED TO HAVE ROOSTERS!!!!!! I am pretty excited about it, because in my opinion, a rooster is one of the very best ways to protect your flock. I have a half acre, but most of it is wide open, then partly surrounded...

She's such a unique color...hatch/ship date: Aug. 25th 2014...I really want her to be a her...

This beauty is one of my ten mystery, rare breed assortment chicks...I believe she may be a splash (blue) orpington. Can you guys confirm? The comprehensive list of possible breeds is below the pictures. Buckeye Ancona Easter Egger Ameraucana (Wheaten, Blue, Black, Splash) Black...

I ordered 10 rare mystery chicks a while back, and have been waiting for them to be big enough for me to tell what they are. You guys helped me on a couple of them already, and I am pretty sure I have a splash orpington in the mix, which I am super excited about, but I have these three chipmunk...

I ordered 10 assorted rare breed chickens along with my normal docile, friendly, dual purpose types (2 EE, 1 BCM, 1 speckled sussex) to join my lone remaining blue orpington hen. From the breeds I can determine so far, it looks like I am in for a circus going by their "typical"...

So, I have been watching this little chicken develop, and I am beginning to think maybe a Columbian Wyandotte since that is one of the possible breeds, but she seems to have a single comb...I guess hatchery stock wyandottes sometimes have single combs...what do you think? Here is the possible...

Okay, I have a crew of 15 little peepers running around, and I know what most of them are, but this one has me stumped. I have posted her before, and haven't gotten any guesses, so I am giving her her very own thread this time. It occurs to me that it is possible she isn't one of the "rare...

I posted these pictures the day these little guys arrived, and the guesses made were silver spangled hamburgs. They have possible rose combs, grayish feet, and little white racing stripes. However, as they have begun to feather, they have quite a bit of black...a different color variety of...

So, I ordered late this year, and they were sold out of most of the breeds I wanted, SO I went for the assorted rare breeds grab bag. I got ten little ones from the rare breed lotto, and I have figured out at least one for sure (most definitely a Sicilian buttercup), but I am not sure on most of...

Howdy from Texas. It's been a super long time since I have showed up around these parts. I kinda backed off for a while when I lost all but my two BLRW girls to some voracious predators. Even after I replaced my losses, I again lost the whole crew after a big move, where I went from full time...
