Well, huh. That is quite interesting. There are 2 yellow ones that are not *quite* like the other yellows. One looks a little like it wants to have a chipmunkey design to it and the other is more of a goldenish yellow vs the lighter yellow of the others. I am only guessing they might be...

I am the master 'worst sex guesser' when it comes to sexing and I own it. Lol. It will be some time with me just standing and staring at them and watching how they behave before I form any opinions on it. And then, I will just presume I'm wrong. Lol. I didn't even consider that someone...

I have zero idea which pens they came from. I should have kept better track, but this was kind of a whim. Today I will grab them up again and see if I can start making a little sense of their combs. Hopefully they all made it through the night. The first couple of days are fraught with...

'I would expect.' Love it. These words come regularly here. This was the exact expectation we had when ordering the chicks originally. We are not going to have chick to freezer in 6 to 8 weeks... but focused mostly on the differences in laying, mothering, breast size etc. I'm really...

We have year old Dark Cornish and White Rock chickens. Got these specific breeds to start a breeding program to 'make' our own good 'meat birds'. Basically, 'Cornish x' of some kind. *I know that commercial hatcheries have years science going into their breeds so ours will never approach the...
