    Pullet or roo

    I agree with redinator, I would expect a much redder comb in an 11 week old cockerel. I would also expect the saddle feathers to be at least starting to be visible and I don't see any hint of pointy saddle feathers.

    Apple of my eye Valentine's Day Hatch-a-long

    I'm certainly not disappointed! I really only expected maybe 50% viability, 83% is fantastic!

    Apple of my eye Valentine's Day Hatch-a-long

    Four days until lockdown! We candled again today, and I gotta say, I'm pleasantly surprised with how many are looking good! We tossed 7 that were obvious quitters (way too much light shining through + no movement) marked in the updated list with red and a strikethrough.strike through. Egg...

    What's the most obscure/least mentioned hatchery (with an online presence) you've had a positive experience with?

    https://chickenscratchpoultry.com/ They're only 2 hours from us, so we drove to pick up hatching eggs, and when only 2 hatched, again to pick up chicks. I've heard some mixed reviews. They do have a lot of experience with shipping though, and are very responsive to email. Some people have...

    Littlefoot and Treestar are malines, a rare Belgian breed originally imported by Greenfire Farms. We happened on a breeder about 2 hours south of us. They're  big boys!

    Day 38 The Hardee's breakfast biscuit is heart shaped this (?)month. Today is our first show choir competition of the year. Since we were up by 3am and on the road by 4, fast food breakfast it is.

    No, it's just fun to root for an egg. Besides, these chicks should look pretty similar once they hatch. After they dry off I won't be able to tell most of them apart.

    Candy-themed Hatch-a-long!!

    I'm about halfway through my valentines day hatchalong and still have several eggs available if you're still looking to join a hatchalong.

    How do you name a chicken?

    Somehow all of the above and none of the above both at the same time! Mostly I just go by what feels right. I've had a few chickens named for their color. Tiger had stripes as a chick and stripes reminded me of tigers. And we had a Buffy the Vampire Slayer who was, indeed, buff colored. Pepsi...

    What hatchery has the best buckeyes?

    Looks like Meyer, Valley, Strombergs, and Hoover all offer buckeyes. I've never gotten buckeyes from any of them, so I can't speak to quality. Buckeye breeders can be difficult to track down, it took me about 2 months to find some.
