I'm not actually sure what colour she is. The hen is my parents' bird, the baby is the D'Anvers. Sorry for the confusion :) I can definitely understand where you're coming from. No matter what we do there will always be an element of risk with caring for animals so low on the food chain, so we...

I don't have an abundance of experience with bantams, but just picked up some baby D'Anvers last week, and I have to say they are so charming (have some Big One staring into your soul, name tbd lol). Of course temperament can vary a lot depending on the breed, but my parents have had an OEGB...

I recently got some quail D'Anvers chicks and am interested in learning more about this pattern and the genetics behind it. Unfortunately trying to search 'quail chicken' and similar variations always seems to reault in a large number of results about actual quail (understandable). I thought...

Blue Copper Marans hen 6 months old (roughly) Started laying about 3 weeks ago and has been laying 6 days/week since. Did not lay yesterday and has not today. Was acting completely normal yesterday afternoon aside from poking around the nest box pretty late (around 5pm). This morning she was in...

That explains why I had a hard time finding something about it. Thank you, she is quite a funny bird! What a pretty girl, she is beautiful- those cheeks! I knew they were mixes, but I guess I wondered if she might have some overlap with an existing color. Good to know and thank you for your...

I have an 8 week old Easter Egger pullet that is feathering out quite nicely. I've never had a bird her exact color before but it is beautiful and I'm having a hard time finding what the name for this color and pattern is. Some kind of silver partridge? I'd like to know so that I can look up...

Yeah, that makes sense. His eyes, mouth, nostrils, everything is normal, so I figured we were probably just working ourselves up over nothing, but it's always good to hear other opinions. He and the others do sneeze, but not often, so I've been assuming it was just due to straw and food dust.

Have a 4 week old orpington cockerel. He seems on track as far as growth. As of today I noticed when holding him that in certain positions I could hear a very faint rasp in his breathing, both inhale and exhale. It's only really audible with my ear next to his head and is not constant, but his...

That's a good tip, I've already joined one FB group that was recommended to me by someone local. I'll be in Fraser Valley, so that's my starting point for searching around. Still debating what the makeup of the flock will be, but I have plenty of time to decide.

Thank you, some of these are not too far from me, this is great! There are so many different chains here that I'm not used too yet, it helps to see a list like this as well.

Thanks, I'll check it out and see what I can learn!

I'm coming from the US gulf coast (Louisiana). Not a huge culture shock by any means, but there are enough subtle differences to really keep me on my toes, especially since no one around me here has dealt extensively with chickens. Thanks for the tip! I've already been getting too hyped up...

:frow Hello! I've been a long-time lurker on BYC and have recently moved to BC from overseas. I'm hoping to work on establishing a small flock later this year, but I'm still getting familiar with Canadian hatcheries and shipping practices, does anyone have any recommendations for sourcing chicks...
