Oh wow! This is awesome, 80% female 🤯 She is a petty girl, thanks for sharing her photo. Does dowsing work on chicks?

My first flock had 4 GCs, I intend to never have another one. I'm not into chickens for profit, I want healthy hens with good quality of life. I love beards and muffs on chickens, I have several EEs and and adore their cute faces and the wide variety of colors! I would love a few olive eggers...

This weekend was out "first" basically, I'll explain... years ago I had some chickens dropped off on my property, like 30 of them. There was one crazy loud rooster that just drove me insane, finally one day I'd had enough, he crowed non stop from about 3 am until after 11pm. I processed him...

Oh no I'm so sorry about Stargazer 😭 it was one loved little chickie though. :hugs his to you and your partner. The rest are looking so adorably fluffy :love Have you processed many?

Well, I can say that the "one of these weekends" was yesterday for my overly aggressive rooster. He was gorgeous but I am not at all sad that I will never be flogged by him again, or have to constantly be on guard and watch out for him. He'd come all the way across the yard to get me if he saw...

I couldn't find a current photo of him alone, but in this group photo, he is the giant towering over everyone 🤣 his sire was the same way, always wanted to be dominant and started chasing the other chicks around at maybe 10 to 12 weeks old. He caused so much chaos and screeching of the other...

So pretty much yes, we've been saying we will for a long time, but this coming weekend has a slightly higher chance of it actually happening 🤣 They are 2 1/2 weeks now! Some have tails but I have a mix of breeds so not the easiest way to compare. One of my paint chicks already tried to tower...

I have a mean rooster we've been talking about processing for over 2 years, maybe this coming weekend... my favorite silkie frizzle rooster has turned mean, he's not correct to the SOP (overly bumpy comb, loose wings for starts) so I'm not really wanting to breed him (I do but I don't 🤣) I'm...

We need follow up! So next time, before I set 100 eggs, can you swing by and help me cut out a few cockerels? I get attached and don't want to eat them or sell them to a not good home 🥺

Go Tenderheart and Stargazer! That is wonderful news! Dowsed male? Please tell more! And the bumpy wings too?

Gotta love the ones who keep you guessing on their gender, I had a TSC silkie last year that had us going back and forth, she developed a comb pretty early, not much of a crest, small wattles. If post updates photos about every week on here and we were all unsure, or mostly sure she was a...

Gherkin :gigdid she grow up to be a little pickle? :lau Yeah, but that feeling sure leaves you full of excitement and wonder :wee There are some really knowledgeable folks on here about genetics, you could post a thread about Montgomery and they may be able to unravel the mystery.

Awe, syncro-meeps! That's cool you are using the gene Calc, I haven't messed with it much but I need to more, there's so much to learn! I hope your partner can help those chicks through, but sometimes there's just nothing you can do.

Well, nutrition is fixable, so that's a plus. How are they doing now?

Aw, I hope they power through and are up and peeping soon! It looks like a good hatch overall. Do you think the neck issues are genetic or nutritional?

Aw, I'm sorry, I hope the B12 can help it pull through, but sometimes things like this happen 🥺 Go Marilyn chickie!

A surprise variety pack! Nothing wrong with that. I'm trying to get an olive egger egg from my friend, I want to cross an OE with a frizzle silkie just for kicks to have a frizzle EE. I know there are easier and better ways to make one, but... lol

I don't have any experience with CCL, but I'd sure like to 🤣 What a batch of cuties!

Whoohoo! That is great. I'm looking forward to photos 😁

Wonderful news! :celebrate
