    Weight data for buff Orpingtons & Pekin Ducks?

    Hey all! I'm just curious, and figured I as well ask. I weigh my chicks and ducklings the the same time daily, so far that's 6 Buff Orpingtons and 4 Pekin ducks (all female). Does anyone else do this or similar? Would this data be of use to anyone? I'd be more than happy to share it if it...

    Just for fun: what am I!?

    Just for fun, as we got an assortment of a barnyard mix for our broody from a friend a few weeks ago. She wasn't even sure if some of the eggs were fertilized or not (details in another post) But out of 12 I popped under our broody, 6 hatched (4 nonfert, 1 busted, 1 died about a week before)...

    Black Australorp, BA x RIR (or RIR x BA) ?

    Hi! I'm new to chickening and to this community. And I'm glad to be here. 😊 To the BA and RIR eggsperts here, could you tell me if any of these nearly 4-wk old chicks are pure BAs? I'm asking because I'm doubting that the breeder sold me pure BAs. Seeing brown or gold gold features/spots on...

    Anyone Breeding Pure Australorps?

    Hi BYC community! I'm looking for someone who lives relatively close to Lithia Florida and is breeding pure Australorps. Does anyone fit that bill or know where I might be able to acquire a chick? I'm looking to add a new black hen to my flock.
