I'm sorry to hear that. I understand how hard that can be. We had 2 hens over a period of time die from egg bound too. What I have observed from them is that they somehow got dehydrated. I thought that was odd since there is always water out there. I have learned that sometimes other chickens...

Thank you.

My guess is that Steve the pullet has an Americauna dad and a Barred Rock mom.

Thank you!

They both look female to me. I have had barred rock cockerels and they have usually had a red comb and wattles by 8 weeks old. So, as they said above, if blue is a male, definately a slow maturing one. I am leaning more toward, both pullets. A light colored pullet and a usual dark pullet.

@MysteryChicken is right. We have a heritage barred rock rooster and crossed it with a black australorp hen. This pullet and cockerel were born on March 5th and these crosses both have the white shanks (skin). A neat thing about these crosses is that they are blue barred or black barred. Cream...

These chicks are pure barred rock and were hatched on May 10th and May 11th. Number 1 and Number 3 were hatched on May 10th and the rest on May 11th. I labeled the chicks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in all of the pictures for identification. ( I took several while they were drinking in order to get some...

Thank you. Attached is another picture of Spice, facing forward. Spice was born on March 21st. An Americauna hen + barred rock cross.

Thank you!

Thank you for the advice!

I'm glad to hear it worked out!

At the moment I don't have a broody hen. I'll definately keep that in mind if one of the ladies does go broody.

Yes, I have a separate thermometer inside and it reads around 92 degrees f and around 93% humidity.

So what is the level I need to use since other chicks are trying to hatch and I don't want any shrink wrap?

I do not like the Little Giant Incubator. It is still air, styrofoam and has no egg turner. The bare bones $50 one I bought at Russell Feed. I pretty much have a 100% hatch rate. Unfortunately, every single time, the chicks remain soaked after hatch and never dry off not even a little. The last...

Thank you so much!

What is the outcome of the Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock rooster and a Silver laced wyandotte hen? Egg color, feather color, etc? Thanks.

Thank you. Yes the Easter Egger lays all light blue, light greenish blue, and light green and olive eggs. So, I agree she might be a mix of some kind. The farm I bought her from told me that both her dad and mom are americaunas, so the seller told me the easter egger is pure americauna. From...

I was wondering what the outcomes of egg color, etc. come out of the following crosses? Rooster: Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock Rooster from show stock (PBR) Hens: Black Australorp Americauna Thank you.
