    Sapphire gem or lavender orpington?

    Is this a Sapphire Gem or a lavender orpington? I had both but lost one sadly. Not sure which one this is.

    Is this a Sapphire Gem?

    Got her and her sister out of the sapphire gem bin at Bomgaars. Someone told me she's too dark to be a Sapphire Gem. Her sister is circled in the 2nd photo

    Are these Silkie eggs?

    Who's eggs are these? These cuties are caged together before integrating with the rest of the flock. 3 of the past 4 days I've found an egg in their cage. One is lavender ameraucana (not Americana or Easter egger, but a purebred Ameraucana from a breeder.) The other is a silkie/EE cross...

    Who laid these eggs?? Bcm or welsummer

    Could these eggs have come from the same hen? I have a welsummer and a hatchery quality bcm that are suspect. They both hang around the nesting boxes, but these I find outside of the boxes so it's hard to know where they came from.

    Silkie x EE hen??

    This adorable little hen is being sold to me as a Satin. Seller says she's a black silkie and Easter egger. She and her sisters lay cream or green eggs. Thoughts on this?

    Will 6 month old hens start laying in winter?

    I have some black copper marans, a Wyandotte, and an Easter egger who are 25 to 27 weeks old. Is there any hope for them to start laying before spring at this point? I've had an orpington and a welsummer start in the past two weeks, so I was holding out hope for these others.

    Teach me about Lavender Ameraucana

    We've adopted a lavender Ameraucana who lost all her flock mates to predators. I don't know much about this breed. Would love to hear from others who've had them. She's soooo fluffy and cute!

    Introducing rescued hen to existing flock

    This little beauty is a 5mo old Lavender Ameraucana. The lady we got her from lost her entire (small) flock to predators except for her. She needed some friends! After keeping her separate for a few weeks to keep an eye on her for biosecurity, what is the best way to introduce a single hen to an...

    Ordering a bunch of chicks. Selling?

    I've got an order of 25 Whiting true blue female chicks on order for next February. I don't want to keep all 25, but that's the minimum order. Is that a breed that will be easy to sell extras of locally? Is this a thing that people do when ordering chicks?

    Who should I rehome?

    We live in town and need to keep no more than 10 chickens and zero roosters. Currently we have 11 hens and 1 roo, ages 25 to 18 weeks (in my chart below they're listed oldest to youngest.) We want to try hatching some eggs next spring and have some younger hens in the flock so not everyone is...

    Are EE usually more skittish?

    I love the varied look of the EE and the beautiful eggs. But this girl has been skittish from the start. I would try to cuddle her as a baby and she wanted no part of it! She's definitely at the bottom of the pecking order and doesn't really seem to have any friends. Are most EE like this?

    Who's laying this egg?

    Will a bantam roo mate with full size hens?

    I have this adorable, handsome young man whom I was suckered into buying from the straight run bantam bin. He's only 14ish weeks, so he's not trying to get lucky with anyone yet. He's blessed to be sharing a home with 10 full size ladies though. Will he try to mate with them? Will he...

    14 week old cochin bantam frizzles M or F?

    These are the most skittish little things ever! Hard to get pics... No crowing yet, but obviously one is bigger and has a much bigger comb and waddles.

    Do I have a frazzle?

    These aren't the best photos but these 2 are very skittish. I have 2 cochin bantams. I'm thinking one rooster, one hen?? Also, I think the hen is so curly she might be a frazzle? Any thoughts?
