Will the above Ro be black enough to produce sex-linked chicks breed with Barred Rock or California Gray Hens? He is a F2 Oliver Egger. Black Copper Marans over Ameraucana. (Not EE)
Has anyone considered hanging birds upside down while working on them to help in keeping them calm? Their chest and wings could be tied to a back plate rather than on a table. There's nothing new so either this just won't work or I don't understand how it is currently being done. I have no...
Still working on ID of 2 month olds hatched from @chrissyr eggs. Mix of Marans and F3 Oliver Eggers eggs.
I believe the above is a Blue Olive Egger pullet due to the pea comb. But she does not have cheek muffs???
I believe the above is a Black Copper Olive Egger Ro due to the cheek Muffs...
Need ID help between 2 month Oliver Eggers and Marans I got from @chrissyr . Some of the Ro's(I'm thinking Ro) have those tussel cheeks and obviously have Americana in them. But only on those that look like Ro's. Do the pullets cheek tussels develop later than the Ro's on the Oliver Eggers?
Just too many things happening at once today so I'm not going to make it. To bad for you all because those Frito-Lay chips and dip I acquired are to die for.
I might be looking for hatching eggs for sex-linked brown egg layers that are very productive. Normally I get chicks from Belt hatchery but they are shipping all their chicks east this year.
Could we have a setup at the party where we could bring our thermometer's and check for accuracy against accurate thermometers? Maybe hygrometers also. I'm bringing eggs home and would like to have more confidence in mine.
I just called my local feed store that carries Belt Hatchery stock out of Fresno to add a few chicks to my hatching this weekend. Was told all chicks were being shipped back east due to frost losses their and could not get any till June.
