Chicken math attack yet again...I've got four more ((sigh)); two Cream Legbar and two Olive Eggers from My Pet Chicken. The little Olive Egger chicks look indentical (Black/Charcoal/Grey/Cream/White) except for one thing...leg feathering. One has it and one does not. When I saw the leg...

I have two Ameraucanas in my flock (I THINK). The topic still confuses me, because I've learned that just because a chicken has parents that are both Ameraucanas, if they don't meet a certain color requirement, they might not TECHNICALLY be Ameraucanas, but instead be simply classified as an...

I've got three Starlight Green Eggers. One (Mocha) started laying light teal green eggs on Christmas morning. Number two (Captain) started laying a beautiful deep olive egg three days later. Today, number three (Mocock) started laying. This is her egg pictured and I have no idea what to call...

Hello, all! My Starlight Green Eggers started laying for me on Christmas!! Now, my Ameraucana roo just reached sexual maturity and has begun mounting my SGEs! I do want to keep 4 more hens in my flock and I'd like them to be colorful egg layers, so, my questions are as follows: 1.) Is it too...

I am not new to quail...I had them once years ago before I knew of all the awesome and even rare colors. We had the trusty old jumbo wilds. Now that my family is getting back in to quail keeping, I'd like to gain a better understanding of breeding for specific color patterns (while also...

I don't have pics yet, but I will add some as soon as I can remove babes from incubator. Just waiting on one more egg. So here's the deal...I purchased hatching eggs from a woman with only Ameraucana chickens. Both roosters are black Ameraucanas, hens are a variety (mostly reds and wheaten) so...

When processing quail, we cut the heads clean off and this is acceptable. When processing chickens, cutting heads off is less than desireable because...blood in the meat? Off taste, etc. Why and how so? Why do I never see people mentioning the use of very sharp sheers to quickly and humanely CUT...

If I have Jumbo Whites, Jumbo Wilds, Jumbo Egyptians, and Jumbo White Wings, which color/pattern mutations can I achieve by breeding any combination of the aforementioned Jumbos? Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would like to breed Ameraucanas (not Easter Eggers, not Americanas), but I have recently read that the offspring resulting from an Ameraucana of one color bred to an Ameraucana of a different color will not be a true Ameraucana, but instead an Easter Egger. Why? How? If that is the case, even...

I've searched literally high and low in hopes of finding out what breed 'Willow' is. He was the ONLY black/grey/white chick in a tub of WHITE LEGHORNS (lol) at TSC 11 weeks ago. We decided to take our chances and hoped for a hen, but alas the Rooster Gods smiled down instead lol With that said...

Hello! :frow I am inserting pics here of two hatchmates. They were hatched on 4/19 and are from the same hen and same rooster. Mama is a White Leghorn and Daddy is an Ameraucana. Fairly certain that the guy on the left with the hybrid walnut/pea comb is a definite ROO. He started showing roo...

I am having trouble finding a lot about Starlight Green Eggers (SGEs) or many pics of them. I come across a few here and there, but I think people including myself are really looking for more about them and want to see pics of what their chicks may look like as adults. For that reason, I'm...

This little 2-week-old hatched looking like a tiny goose!! The biggest honker I've ever seen on such a tiny little creature lol It's just getting bigger and bigger and rosier! Baby feather sexed HEN at 2 days old (and again at 3 days old) but, because the comb area is becoming so much more rosey...

This baby has me stumped. Obviously, I know that I'll just have to wait it out to see what this baby really is, but I'm wondering if anyone has any guesses just by glancing. He/She is a day over 2 weeks old. Parents are EE mama and Ameraucana daddy. Baby feather sexed ROO at 2 days old and again...

Hi all! We hatched out eggs from a White Leghorn hen bred with an Ameraucana (not easter egger, not Americana) roo. The resulting offspring look like a White Leghorn with sporadic and random black splashes scattered here n' there. There is ONE girl offspring with a pea comb, the rest all have...

We decided to grab this chick in question from TSC about 5 weeks ago. He/she was the only dark chick in a tub of White Leghorn babies and we thought "why not". No clue the breed, but we are leaning toward Prairie Bluebell Egger or Olive Egger. Does anyone know? And can anyone tell roo or hen...

We have suspected coccidiosis in our new baby chicks. They are dying one after the other. We want to hydrate them, but they also need medication. My question for any of you that may know is; can amprolium 20% soluble powder (1/2 tsp per gallon of water) be mixed WITH the Save a chick electrolyte...

I am looking to find people with "No Roosters Permitted" laws in their city, who DO successfully (and secretly) keep a rooster. I am thinking/hoping that I can find a way to secretly keep a roo with a no-crow collar on my nearly half acre lot. We are in city limits but not IN the city. The...

Hi, all! Glad to be here (Again). It's been years since I've been here, so, in essence, I suppose I'm a newbie all over again; complete with a brand new account since I can't remember my old log-in credentials lol I am 44-year-old mama to 3 awesome kids and we are currently in the home buying...
