Scaly leg mites came back, and they are getting bad. A few hens are even starting to have trouble walking. I'm doing my best to treat it but it has been on and off for years now and is getting really annoying

I checked on him this morning and he doesn't seem quite as skinny, but I'll just have to keep watching him to make sure he's eating enough.

I'm a little bit worried about new Steve. He was very skinny when I picked him up and I could really feel his breast bone. He still acts fine and is very active, but when I put him in front of the water he drank a LOT so maybe he's a bit dehydrated. He's also a bit smaller than most of the pullets.

Yea they are a nice breed.

Yea I got one as a chick but it died. My friends have a pair of them and I took care of them last year in attempt to breed them, which didn't work out.

I've never ordered from there. I wanted to try them this year but didn't get the chance. I love the splash though they are beautiful

Yea same, but I saw the buff bantams at a show once and thought they were really cool

I wanted some buff bantam Ameraucanas but they are hard to find

Do you mean when I breed the lavenders and splash together? That makes 100% blue chicks

Yea

I love ameraucanas they are one of my favorite breeds. I started off with a lavender rooster, 4 lavender hens, and 2 splash hens. By breeding the lavender and splash together I got blues.

Pretty. I've also got Mullet who was feral and living in a barn until I caught her like a year ago. Probably my most skittish chicken i have.

I breed mostly purebred Ameraucanas, seramas, and marans now, but sometimes I will also mix them. Like last year I helped a chick that got stuck in the egg, and it ended up being a black ameraucana mix pullet with a crest

I also had a polish rooster at one point. It seems like pretty much all mixed chucks I hatch are either dark colored or have a crest. That's why this newest batch is strictly wheaten marans and marans mixed with brown egg layers.

I have too many random crested mixes 😭

No, just watch her closely when they first hatch. Most hens are really good mothers, but some just aren't

Probably that and the fact that it hatched later

I have 3 blue laced red wyandottes growing out, but only one looks like a blue laced. The other 2 just look like normal Goldens

I'm gonna have to be careful with new moms now. Wouldnt want another incident to happen

I'm also into genetics, so I'm trying to experiment with different colors this year.
