Years ago I had 2 Golden Laced Wyandotte hens. They were beautiful but they were my least favorite in my flock. They were mean! I must be a glutton for punishment bc I picked up 2 blue Wyandotte pullets! We shall see how it goes. Haha.

Starting from top pic, left to right I would say New Hampshire Red or Production Red for the first. The chick on right I would say is the Golden Sexlink. Pic #2 is a Golden Laced Wyandotte. Pic #3 doesn’t appear to be any of the above mentioned breeds. Maybe a Plymouth White or White Leghorn...

Hi All! I recently brought home this ADORABLE silkie chick from TSC 4 days ago. I’m completely in love with its colors. I’m not new to raising chickens, however somewhat novice with Silkies. Only had a couple throughout the years. I was hoping my fellow Silkie Lover Community could shed some...

My first F3 Olive egger This little one is a Turken Naked Neck that was bred to my F2 Olive Egger Roo. Hence, the muffs. Some have feathered feet too with beards and muffs but with naked necks. I also had turkens crossed with my Marans. Turned out with blue, black, feathered necks and feet with...

I’m in the same boat as you! Currently, my incubator is filled with eggs from: Black Copper Marans Red Turken Naked Necks F2 Blue copper Olive Egger and white leghorn All covered by my Blue Copper Marans Roo. This is my first incubation experience and I’m really not sure what to expect but...

How did the hatch go? I’m dying to see what came of your eggs! I currently have eggs from a NN by my French blue copper Marans roo in the incubator. Would love to see pics of your hatchlings!!!

At date of this pic, it had sat on counter for maybe 5, 6 days prior to being in incubator for 3.

Hi Y’ll! I’m in no way a newbie to raising chickens but am new to incubating my own eggs! I candled my eggs recently using an LED flashlight with new batteries. This egg is an F2 olive egger egg, bread back to Marans. I have an egg that I was hoping to get feedback on. Is this egg fertile? Is it...

Entry 3 Dobby 6 month old French Blue Cooper Marans from Fairfield Tx.

ENTRY 2 Dobby, 6 month old Blue Copper Marans Roo.

My name is Dobby. I’m often told I’m a handsome guy and quite the looker! I’m quite fond of the ladies! I am a 6 month old Blue Copper Marans. Although I’m young, I rule the roost and earned my title as top Roo. I love strutting my feathers and being admired. Wattle strokes and pets are...

Yes, I’m aware. I don’t hold it against them. 😁

Those are beautiful!

Thank you everyone! Shucks!!!! Very frusterating! Lol so my follow up question is, when it comes to breeding, I know you breed a dark layer roo to a blue egg layer hen. However, what if an olive egger roo is used instead? What would the eggs potentially look like?

Hi everyone! So I bought two F2 Olive Eggers that I was told were both pullets. I’m needing second opinions as I’m pretty sure one is a cockerel. I actually bought 8 chickens total from same person and I believe at least half are males. These two are now about 16 weeks old I think. She didn’t...

I have two silkie roosters and although this little guy is older, he is the smallest of the bunch. We named him "Nugget" for that reason. He is the bottom of the pecking order for sure and since the silkie cockerels have come into age, they have been aggressive with him, forcing him to be a...

I'm almost leaning that it's an injury with possibly secondary infection from the injury. Just because there are no other symptoms of sickness. Last year when a couple of my birds got a respiratory infection, they had discharge from nostrils and foamy bubbles in the corner of both eyes...

Thank you. He does not have any smell. Also, his other eye is fine. He does not have any other discharge from nostrils or bubbly foam from the eyes. I have seen that before in the past with some of my other birds. He has been in good health, eating and pooping is normal. The only thing is his...

I have a Banty Cochin Roo who developed a week ago what looked like a cloudy eye like a cataracts. It's now swollen and it almost looks like the eye ball itself looks like a bulging bubble. I don't know if he scratched his eye or he got pecked, or if this is some illness or all the above for...
