I got 2 moss eggers from alchemist farm. Francesca said stance is usually how to tell them apart but that’s not really helping me. They are both 6 weeks old. The white one is bigger but s/he hatched a day earlier than the grey and they both had “female” wing feathers at a day old. Not sure if...
We have a few red stars and a beautiful rooster. I understand they’re hybrids but I’m unsure about breeding. If we hatch their eggs what breeds will we get?
My 10 months old hybrid got a brown comb like in the picture. She lay am egg and roam around normally like my other hen. Also, she lost her feather around the chest are (The part where the pointy bone around the chest is). So I just wondering, is she molting or sick. ;(
Ps. I live in a hot...
I incubated some eggs with Rhode Island Red roo and Light Sussex and Leghorn hens. 6 of the 7 hatched successfuly and they are growing up so fast. Anyone with experience can let me know how they are for laying or meat? They are not very old but already almost as big as their older moms. here is...
If I mix rooster from breed A with a hen from breed B for sure I will get breed C but what I will get if I will switch the breeds like I will use rooster from breed B with a hen from breed A? I will get breed C or breed D?
Today one of my Hybrid hen goes free range for almost an entire day because I forgot to put her in the coop. And when I put her in the coop, she immediately sit on the nesting box. So I just wondering, can hen release a new yolk in the ovary if there is still an egg in her body?
My 19 weeks old hybrid hen poop watery! Is it normal? Beside pooping and puking, she seem fine and healthy. She eat, drink, lay an egg and walk around just like every normal hen does. Also, she use to puke water too.
Ps. I live in the hot climate and the other hen that live with her seem fine...
Hey Everyone,
My name is Travis and my fiancé and I have a little Urban Farm in Wheat Ridge, CO! Just introducing myself, so I guess I’ll go through the questions. I joined today because we decided for the first time a few weeks ago to incubate eggs from our flock and as of this morning...
This is like a game of "Guess The Animal", but with chicken breeds! The rules are:
1. Try to use more common breeds that most people will know. For instance, don't do a White Faced Black Spanish!
2. Only one breed to guess at a time. Once one breed has been guessed then another person can post...
Hello everyone, I've been having trouble identifying my three month old pullet's coloring. I'd like to know what the color and pattern is officially called. Her name is "Peppers". She is a backyard "mutt".
Over the years, I've seen lots of hybrids from rooster x Pheasant hen and Pheasant x hen. Both F1 offspring have no Chicken-like combs or wattles.Even whether they're fertile remains quite controversial.
Recently, however, I came across an article that said fertile hybrids have already been...
I was looking to order some Leghorn chicks or hatching eggs in Canada when I stumbled on these: https://www.millerhatcheries.com/Poultry/hybridegglayers/LEG
So what will happen if I keep one roo and try to breed them - will I get just normal Leghorns or worse?
I need to make space. I have 7 wonderful hybrids (3 Amberlinks, 4 ISA browns) They lay xxl eggs, every day. 1 year 4 months old. NPIP certified and AI clean flock. Free of external & internal parasites. I simply need to make some space, and these ladies lay too many eggs for our personal needs...
I have hens/pullets of several breeds (Hamps, Wyandotte, a rock, an Ameraucana, and sex links). Our rooster is a silkie. If they were to produce offspring, what is the likelihood that the hens genetic aptitude for laying will offset the lower production of the silkie? Is it something that you...
I have a 5 year old Cream Legbar Cockerel and he is out with assorted female hens. I've just put two Barnevelder eggs in my incubator which I've candled on day 10 and there is life :D so there's still some good in the ol'boy yet, but I am so excited to see what they will look like, I'm also...
Hi everyone!
