    So I’m buying some lavender cuckoo English Orpington hatching eggs, I’m very excited about it. However at the moment I only have a muave rooster. I understand the colors would most likely be split. But I was wondering what colors to expect from muave over lavender cuckoos? Also have a silver...

    Silkie cross for color

    What breed is good to cross to silkies to introduce specific colors? I’m considering crossing my lavender Orpington girls to my black silkie or paint silkie roo to work towards producing a line of lavender silkies. I know it would take time and work but that’s the fun part! I also thought about...

    Should I purchase these eggs? Micro frizzle

    I sought out a seller on eBay for their chocolate serama, but she sent me photos of a pair that I don’t think are chocolate. This was what I was thinking of: And this is the chocolate pair she showed me: I don’t see them as chocolate, but maybe I’m wrong. Are they? I’m thinking if anything I...

    Ate chocolate!

    I am in my backyard with a mocha cup of coffee. Not flavored mocha but actually has some melted chocolate in it. Some of the chocolate clung to my spoon and a nose chicken pecked it! It's been diluted with coffee and cream but it was DARK chocolate. It couldn't have even been a gram of...

    Chocolate Silkie breeding clarification

    I purchased six silkies last fall that were advertised as chocolates. I understand now that quite often chocolate silkies are actually duns. I want to confirm if I have chocolates or duns so my question is this: if I breed these birds together and I get all chocolate colored chicks then I truly...

    English Chocolate Orpingtons and a Dun Gene?

    I have been hatching chocolate chicks from my chocolate roo and hen and I have what seems to be a light, medium, and dark variation. It's clearly three color variations. I've recently been told about the possibility of a dun gene. I'm new to chickens and I need to see pics and learn more about...

    Chocolate Mousse

    This recipe for chocolate mousse is one that my mother always made for Christmas and Easter when family came to visit. It disappeared very quickly and rarely were there any leftovers for the next day, or even later in the evening. Now I make it for the same special occasions. My sons love it so...

    Chocolate Chickens

    Does anyone know where I can buy chickens with the chocolate gene? Don’t mind the breed, but they’re super uncommon here in the U.S. and I’d love to have a couple!

    Modified Idiot Cookies

    A modified recipe. The original recipe can be found in the Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbook. The sugar substitute used no-calorie sweetener made with sucrose and malodexterin. I calculate it to have about 1/8 as many carbs as normal granulated sugar. This is two times the recipe. Feel free to halve...

    Chocolate!

    Hello! I was outside free ranging my flock and eating a cookie, when my little hen Beanie ran up and snatched a hunk out of the cookie. It was chocolate peanut butter, and I am worried for her😟 Is there anything I can do to help get the chocolate out of her system? She didn't eat too much, since...
