Oh, that is really neat! I’m always intrigued with chicken breeds & how their genetics/breeding work. Definitely like to hear that you can predict egg color of the offspring with heritage breeds like the CCL rooster & hens (laying different colored eggs), that is super cool. :) For now, we’re...

Thanks for these! Nice to know of some local places. And 'm happy both CCL & Bielefelder are autosexing, it would help from hatch for us to figure what to do with boys 😁 I'm happy our 2 roosters get along, but want to make sure they have enough ladies to go around 😂 and would hopefully be...

I have updated my thread here - we're getting 2 BAs and 2 Americanas this week from a local hatchery 🥰 I wanted to ask if you mind sharing which farms these are with the CCLs and Icelandics & Bielefelder? We are still very interested in CCL and it'd be nice to have chicken people/farms to be...

Hey everyone, update is we're getting new chicks this week! We're getting 2 Black Australorps and 2 Americanas (yes, I know they're technically EEs if they're not spelled "Ameraucana" but they didn't have Speckled Sussex or Crested Cream Legbar coming at the same time - maybe a week later or in...

We love the coloring of the wyandottes. Thanks for suggesting them.

Good to know sizing of your legbar rooster - they are a pretty breed for sure. I feel I say that about all of them, but it is true birds (chickens) are neat in feather patterns/colors and also personalities 😁 Thanks for sharing about your flock. Hoping someday to let a broody hen have some...

Yeah, never thought I'd be the "crazy chicken lady" but hey, they are so fun! The BA in my profile pic is always bugging me for attention - any of them I can scoop up for a little bit of cuddles. lol, the coop chatter is fun to hear! The buff rock is usually the one to walk the bars in front...

OOOoh, that is so tempting for chicks! The Icelandics and cream legbars are pretty birds - love the coloring. And the Bielefelders are adorable. That is always the tough part - to plan for roosters (and I LOVE both our boys!!!). Yes, for sure my sweetest gal was a hatchery chick (from TSC)...

I forgot to mention the Delaware, Black Copper Maran, or Wyandotte breed..maybe since there are so many out there! Hm, glad to hear your CCLs are so nice and OEs, EEs and Marans :D We have our one RIR hen who I think makes up for being small by picking on others :rolleyes: and the other is a...

Oh, that sounds a lot like a few (ahem, probably all) of our girls…if I’m in our coop to grab just the poop scraper tool or oyster shell from our storage (above nest boxes) they have GOT to check things out & talk to me! I even have the one California White not skip a beat if I’m collecting...

Yes, nice to have variety of color both in the eggs & breeds 😎 We’re happy with all the temperaments & chatter with everyone, so maybe I’m overthinking the docile thing if they imprint well with us as chicks? When I was a kid we had barnyard mixes (egg layers) and quite a few were Ameraucana &...

Yeah, silkies are SO adorable. We might look at getting some down the road, thanks for suggesting the cuties! I’ve seen they make good mommas 😇 We have apparently the best nest box setup for all our girls because we had even our California Whites (leghorn cross) try going broody after they...

Yeah, that is an idea to add Ameraucana (or a cross breed that lays either blue or green) or chocolate colored eggs with some Marans... Hehe, you are correct that all but 2 lay brown/pink - our California Whites are layers of white eggs :) We have seen olive eggs & those are some cool colored eggs!

Hey, Just wondered about any suggestions here for possible breeds of chicks to add to our flock this spring? First let me share what we have currently: 2 roosters, 18 hens, 2 chicken tenders 🤣 (DH and myself) At 3-4 (??) years old Lavender Orpington hen 💜 At 2 years old: Black Australorp...
