    Rats AND gophers???

    I went camping for the weekend. I have about 70 chickens and I use hanging 5 gallon buckets with pvc feed openings. They hold about 25 pounds of pellet feed each. I filled them up Thursday night. I have some breeding groups separated from the rest of the flock. When I got home, 2 of the...

    Midnight Majesty opposite pairing/ Black Marans with cream egg?

    I am working on breeding chocolate cuckoo barred rocks. I started with chocolate orpington x barred rock hens. I now have an SF split chocolate barred roo paired with solid chocolate hens. I added 2 black marans to test their egg color on the marans scale into the pen assuming there would be a...

    9 month blue gold wyandotte stealthy roo???

    I feel pretty dumb posting this because 9 months is quite late to question gender. I had deemed all 4 wyandottes I had left from this April group as hens many months ago, but as I was taking inventory for Spring orders this one gave me pause. It is not any larger than its "sibling hens" doesn't...

    Single factor or double factor barred rock?

    Is this little roo's barring double factor or single factor? I have a large (70ish) mixed flock with 8 different rooster breeds. One of the barred rock hens secretly hatched her own chicks behind a pallet leaned against the wall. Most died in the pen before I found them, but one little roo...

    Breeding Niederrheiner with Angel Wing?

    I have had horrible hatch rates with shipped Lemon Cuckoo Niederrheiner eggs. Out of many dozens attempted I finally have one male and one female (different batches) that are adults. I would like to breed them BUT the hen has always had angel wing (which I have read can't happen, so... ???)...

    Predators that don't fear people

    I feel like the Rodney Dangerfield of wannabe homesteaders. I get no respect from the wildlife. Predators do not fear me. I generally keep 50-80 chickens. I started off practical with dual purposed breeds, added breeds in to be able to have a rainbow of egg colors, then added rare breeds for...

    Splash or leakage?

    These are about 7 weeks old. They are a cross; gray Silverudd’s blue roo over blue eggs from either my splash ameraucana or pale yellow ameraucana (from a snow wheaten project) Is this white with black leakage or will it become splash as they mature?

    Blue wheaten Ameraucana pullets?

    These are 7 week old purebred blue wheatens from a reputable breeder. I received 8 and only 2 look like roos to me, 3-8 all seem to be pullets based on feather color, but I am curious as to what others with more wheaten ameraucana think.

    cream legbar sex help

    I ordered these chicks sexed and assumed they would be easy to differentiate since they are cream legbars. But I had 2 pullets- (I think) die hours after arriving . One was a very light golden color, but no spot on head. I tossed them without thinking about it but upon closer inspection of the...

    green queen or green king?

    She/he is 4.5 months old. I have assumed she's a pullet because of her demeanor and interactions with the flock. But it seems like she is developing hackle feathers. Thoughts?

    wet & dry pox!- which of hodge podge, non-commercial flock to vaccinate/treat?

    So, I am a newbie and apparently have done it all wrong. First off, by going big instead of going home; I started with 45 birds. I did finally finish my permanent coop, way after I had to build an intermediary pen bcuz the chicks grew astronomically seemingly overnight, but now that they are...
