So I've just had my two broodies successfully hatch a set of 9 chicks. The chicks mothers are the ones who hatched them. I have a few questions and I know all the rules don't seem to apply to Seramas due to their history of not being hired for any color standard - until recently.
First off...
Hello!
I ordered 25 of Ideal's Feather Legged Bantam Assortment. The assortment is supposed to include the following breeds:
Brahmas, Cochins, Silkies and d'Uccles. I requested no Silkies but I got 6 of the 5 with Five toes. I'm really hoping I got no Silkies but I don't know what else they...
My local Orschlens is having a bird food sale and they have 40lb bags on sale for $15. I'm wondering what is the cheapest you've found for BOSS? If this is a great deal how long will BOSS stay good for? I'd like to buy it in bulk. Thanks guys!

I have some Araucana eggs that all came in the mail with completely detached air cells. I'm incubating them upright in cartons in my incubator. I am very excited! Our town allows us to have chickens. I really hope these hatch :(
I've been subscribed to a homesteading YouTube channel by athatcher85. When he talks about his flock he never really mentions what breed they are but looks to me like Ameraucana or mutts. This rooster is my favorite and I really like his coloring. I'd like to find some birds that are colored...
Hey yall!
I am a chicken addict. I love hearing them, touching them, eating eggs, and eating them! I would love to start my own flock soon as I found out that my city permits having a 'reasonable' amount of chickens with a few other stipulations. I've been deciding on the breeds I'd like and...
