Tonight Gooey became a mommy to a little reticulated hatchling!:love

I think you hit the nail on the head personally!Thanks for the help! Since you are unsure of the base color I’ll wait till she is more mature to take a more concrete pic of her colors,cause if she is Yellow face type II then I expect her blue to turn green in later years.

As stated I am trying to figure out my new Budgie hen’s mutation,It would be simple for normal people to look up but I happen to be rather colorblind to blue colors so I can’t distinguish the different shades very well!Every blue bird I have looked up has a white face usually but she has a...

I am going to say cockerel,those legs look mighty thick.Where did you get him?Because there is no way that is a Blue laced Barnevelder it looks more like a Gold laced Wyandotte mixed breed.This is a Blue laced Barnevelder in comparison to your bird.

No no the owner loved her!!(sorry should have explained) The bird lost her mate recently and one day the owner left her cage outside for her to sunbathe but one of the kids accidentally let her out,they have been worried sick about her!

Yesterday was a rather random day for me and my family,my Dad was entertaining some guests when one of them exclaims “Look a bluebird!” and they watched it come down only to realize it was a domesticated bird of sorts!They ran to get me cause somehow I’ve become the family bird whisperer.:lol: I...

Don’t worry! In every baby batch there is always one that is a drama king/queen.:lau They will make noise for no good reason and boy do they have a lung sometimes.I have one of my own right now!they will grow out of it or be extra talkative chickies when they are older.

Does Meyer sell Andalusian chickens?cause that’s what she looks like to me!:)

Anything ultra fuzzy like highland cattle won’t do well in my area,it gets very hot and humid in the summer!

Anyone else?

I don’t any livestock besides chickens,I have considered Nubian goats for grazing/foraging/packing purposes but I am unsure whether my tube gates on the stalls will keep them in.I would have to remove the gates completely if I wanted to brood chicks in there!:lau They would definitely get out.

This is for curiosities sake,I would love to hear your opinions about the possibilities for these two old stalls in my coop.What I can use them for?What animals could potentially live in here? Or other purposes I have yet to think of! I haven’t measured them yet,but they are roughly horse-sized...

I herd my flock with clapping,guiding with sticks,and arm waving!:D Many of my chickens are pro’s at the routine and just walk in their coop when they see me coming.Others are more like sugar high cats that test me playfully before finally giving up and going back in.Whoever says you can’t herd...

Brahma's are a great calm breed for kids!Good layers too! I have a Dark Brahma hen who is super sweet,calm and curious.This breed does best with similarly gentle breeds or they will get picked on,Salmon faverolle's should do very well with them,they are known for being friendly.

Update on Gooey.just look at her lovely autumn colors!:love
