    What breed are my lovely ladies?

    I think they're black sex-links, but was told they're barnyard mixes. The one that's mostly black does have some orange colour under her head. The chick pics are just to show what the one looked like as a chick, the other two in the first three photos I got when they were already all feathered...

    Did I get all Cockerels?

    Bought a package of what was advertised a “Barred Rock Chicks” in March from local Tractor Supply Company. 100% they are not Barred Rock Chicks. They also appear to be possibly a mix of black sex link Barred Rock/Rhode Island Red crosses. Also seem to be mostly roosters? Like 8 of them. A...

    Red sex-links and black sex-links?

    Does anybody know if red sex-links and black sex-links lay the same large brown eggs? Or do they lay differently? The hatchery with the red sex links are all sold out but they have the black ones so I am just wondering if they are the same?

    Linking Black & Cuckoo LEGHORNS

    If I use black leghorn rooster over cuckoo leghorn hens, will I take solid (entirely) black females? At hatch, all the females will be black and all the males will have a white spot on the head. Can I use these females for breeding blacks?

    Nest Box Access Questions

    Good morning! When I put my 6 hens in the coop, I blocked off the nest boxes so that they couldn't use them to roost in/sleep in. They are currently 11 weeks old, and are Black and Red Sex Links. At what age should I turn the nest boxes around? Should I wait until 18 weeks when they are closer...

Our 3 kids are sorta self-sufficient so we were looking for a little "excitement" on a Sunday and were perusing the aisles of our local...
