    Lavender or Isabel Ameraucana?

    I know it is not the greatest pic, it's from my cell phone and was very cloudy out all day today. I just got this guy today, he is definitely an Ameraucana, he's got the pea comb and slate legs like my other Ameraucanas. What I'm needing to know is if he's Isabel or what? He is lavender with...

    What do you call this?

    So I purchased a dozen lavender orpington eggs last year from a local lady to add a new bloodline to my stock. When I hatched them I did not get lavender orpingtons, lol, I got these beauties instead! I know they are lavender and ameraucana or easter eggers (I would call them EE just to be sure)...

I am getting way more eggs than I can incubate on my own and am thinking about offering eggs and babies for sale locally. I need a name for my small farm/hatchery.

    What breed geese are these?

    So I had some goats at my "farm" and I wanted to get out of goats and into poultry. I traded my goats for some geese pairs, turkeys and peacocks. The woman I got the geese from said they were African Buff geese. They are not. I do not know what they are. They are very big, heavy, buff colored...

    What to supplement feed with for newly hatched ducklings and poults?

    I'm fairly new to having backyard poultry, only for about a year and a half. I bought my first chicks from TS in September 2020. They told me to feed them chick starter, which I did and all was fine but they did not recommend any other type of supplements, vitamins or electrolytes. When the...

    Egg Fertility

    I have a pair of Blue Orps in one pen and a separate pen containing 5 Choc Orp hens and 2 Choc Orp roosters, they are all between a year to a year and a half. I have been hatching batches of eggs from both these pens together in the same incubator batch. My problem is that none of the blue eggs...
