    Are my crosses autosexing?

    Thank you so much for your help! I was going to do a back cross to the BCM, but I may not because it sounds like I may lose that autosexing ability.

    Are my crosses autosexing?

    Yes, all are so identical that I can't identify my egg eater to get her out of there and free ranging 😅. So even the light streaks most likely mean male? Sorry if I seem dense, I just don't want to mislead anyone who will be getting these birds. And if that's an unknown, that's fine! I've never...

    Are my crosses autosexing?

    I knew someone here would know the answer! Ok that makes sense, is the barring related to the spots? Can I definitively tell on the ones that seem in between? One with no white spot has a white feather coming in on her? wing so I'm so confused. I figured I need to grow these out for it to...

    Are my crosses autosexing?

    I crossed a Cackle Hatchery olive egger (advertised as Welsummer x Cream Legbar and looks as such) with a BCM (hatchery stock as well) and sold them as straight run. I usually hatch Wyandottes so it never occurred to me that the white dot on their heads meant anything, but the ones with big...

    Broad breasted turkey

    Yeah it's common in meat birds as they grow too fast/big for their heart to keep up. It just didn't present the same way as in chickens.

    I culled it. It was ascites.

    Broad breasted turkey

    Hatched 3/6 and the other 7 look very healthy. This one is pale/blueish and lethargic. Could it be a heart issue due to growing so fast, or do I have a sick bird? Would you process for human consumption? No coughing/sneezing/discharge/nothing. Was totally fine yesterday. Is eating still. The...

    Wyandotte hatching question

    Yeah that was more what I was thinking. I'm going to increase my odds by adding only blue 😉

    Wyandotte hatching question

    I'm adding more blue hens and blue roos this year, but I thought I had a 50 percent chance of blue laced from my blue hens? I have plenty more chickens to add roosters just fyi. I only hatch the wyandotte eggs though.

    Wyandotte hatching question

    I have a black laced gold rooster over 1 gold laced hen and 3 blue laced red hens. Ive hatched 2 batches of 10 chicks all black laced gold. Why am I not getting any blue laced? Cackle Hatchery chickens if that matters.

    Tail feather question. Starting to look like roos?

    The 2 white chickens are 3 month old Easter Eggers. Their combs still appear to be a single row. One has sharper spurs. It has gone after me twice. Now they are getting these really long tail feathers as of about a week or two ago. I'm curious if I have 2 roos or if it is normal for these tail...

    Good!

    Easter Eggers- gender?

    #1 as in the black and gold? The white one went after me yesterday, but maybe I just scared her trying to pick her up and check her out. I try and look at them closely every couple weeks. Black and gold is 1 month older.

    Easter Eggers- gender?

    I'm pretty sure this one is a roo.

    Easter Eggers- gender?

    4 month old, very bossy. I'm new to this, but her peacomb is multi rowed. She's our favorite and I'm hoping she's a she.
