    New chicks (feather footers) Need help ID-ing

    Hey guys! So I ordered 10 standard brown egg layers from tractor supply (which uses Hoover's Hatchery). They listed breeds that could be in the mix, and there were no cochins or brahmas listed, so I thought I was safe from feather footers, but alas, 8 of my 10 have very fluffy feet. Could use...

    Dark Brahma Roo X Light Brahma Hen

    Hi Color experts This may be a simple answer but I can’t figure it out. Can someone tell me the outcome of using a dark Brahma Roo to cover light, dark and buff Brahma hens. Obviously dark and dark makes dark, but unsure what the result is with dark Roo, light hen. Thanks!!

    RIP: AngryGirl, light Brahma, odd behavior

    I did not place this in the emergency/injuries because it's not urgent. Noticed AngryGirl was off Saturday, but we have five or six going through a molt. Checked on her yesterday, she just seemed off. Wasn't moving much, extremely pale and her wattles/comb were nearly the color of her eyes...
