    choosing/optimizing mixed flock for egg laying

    We have had 7 BR hens (and one roo) we bought as chicks in spring 2018 and by end of winter-spring 2019 they sucked at egg laying - going broody repeatedly with 2 week interval, pecking feathers (despite protein supplement), and just being big frame fat chickens upon butchering. Their...

    Name that color!

    I recently acquired three new birds, all juveniles, all barnyard mix. They have EE and game in the mix. Anything else is unknown. They’re gorgeous birds but I have no idea what these colors would be called. I’m gonna add two pictures of each bird below.

    Anyone wanna guess what these are a mix of?

    I purchased these guys when they were a few days old. Was told they were a mix of Cochin, Silkie and Serama. With the gray roo, he has feathered feet a funky comb and has started growing a toupee looking bunch of feathers on top of his head. The black chick is super tiny. Smaller than the...

    Barnyard Surprises

    Since I am new at chickens and hatching, I asked Chicken Rancher at work for a mess of fertile eggs. The 8 put under the broody last year gave 4 infertile. 2 killed by hen and 2 hatchings. Resulting in 1 pullet and 1 cockerel. The hen is happily laying small brown eggs almost daily. She...

    Barnyard mix?

    just hatched some eggs I bought on eBay. They were listed as barnyard mix. Now, I’m wondering … what exactly is the definition of a barnyard mix? Does it mean mixed breeds or a mix of purebred breeds?
