What if I didn't know that till they were a couple months old? How do I tell then? Is there a difference between the mostly black and the one's that have more gold on them?

Good layers of nice sized brown eggs, great meat birds, and at times the hens go broody, are great setters and mothers ensuring you free new generation of chickens for their lifetime. I love Barred Plymouth Rocks. Yes, the roosters are mellow as well.

I have one that is so huge I keep worrying that it's a rooster

Thanks for the great info. I got 4 in a mixed bantam sale at TSC and it took me a couple days to figure out what they were.

And not breathing

I have sapphire olive eggers then got sapphire gems. These girls started laying a lil before their 4 month bday. They seem to have adjusted to the older hens and prefer fresh scraps vs feed. They look larger than the olive eggers and their brown egg yolks are darker yellow then the olive eggers. One has red feathers by the neck and they are darker feather colored then the olive eggers. Got them cause i was happy with the sapphire olive egger personality. Good temp.

I need ur help brother

I added a ISA brown and a light brahma to a flock of 4 grown huff orpingtons and they are still young. Recently they been chasing the brahma and ISA around and I saw the brahmas foot bleeding. Not sure if it is natural since they have feathers growing on their legs or if mites got on their legs to attract the orpingtons to peck at it or if the orpingtons just pecked at it because feathers on the legs are apparently something attractive to peck at. Is there a way to create a bond between them or mutual relationship to prevent any bullying? I know orpingtons are considerably nice but they are also very extroverted and outward and go crazy over many snacks but the other two we just got are very docile and kind. I tried telling the owner i stay with that it might not be a good idea but she still got them. Is there a way to cure this headache of bleeding leg and chasing around?

One of my hens chases cats ,I have very old cat ,she is nearly 19,she doesn’t chase her ,but any other cat and she gets an angry look and goes gunning for the stranger cat The ones she chases are not convinced that is not a cat eater,and yeet themselves over an 8 ft fence to avoid being eaten by this dangerous looking bird She has been nicknamed thunder thighs ,she really runs at cats ,little legs going like pistols ,she really motors at them😂😂

Ive heard bantams are good at hatching out eggs cause they get really broody. Not sure how true that is but I find it interesting for sure. Im kind of thinking of adding 2 bantams next year.. but im not sure yet haha.

He's so gentle handling the hens. I love how the light brahma looked at him when he said "there's meat on that bird" Like she's saying "How dare you, sir!" 😂

We have brahmas and we love them to death, they are sweethearts and really good layers. We have a Brahma rooster as well and a downside to him is he is so massive and his feet are so big that his favorite hens lose feathers on their back from breeding all the time. I do not quite know what to do about that, he has made them bleed a couple times too and I feel so bad for them although they seem to enjoy themselves 😂

I have Sapphire Sky chickens. They are weeks away from laying but they are gentle, beautiful birds.

I have two sapphire gem chicks and I can't tell if the yellow dot on their heads means they're boys, or if the gray/goldish neck lining means they're girls.

How can you tell a hen from a roster when they’re young?

Thanks for all the good information

I bought 4. I loved their temperment and color. They all had problems with eggs breaking internally. Only one survived. Mated with a Blue Ameracuana and produced beautiful silver and gray offspring.

Nice!

bought three porcelains from tractor supply from the mixed bantam bin. they were all on sale and id never raised bantams before so ive been winging it!! lovely little birds. hoping to get more soon

I heard the egg song.

Just bought some. Thank you! We are excited

I have several D'uccle birds.

Soo howww to so many people keep the 2 species together in the same brooder then??? Feed all birds 26% protein??

Two sapphire gems and two prairie bluebells. NO EARTHLY idea, as they are both new breeds to ME. They are beginning to look different; as the bluebells have neat little pea combs and the gems seem to have a single row. I THINK I have all girls, but you know how chickens are! Wing and vent checked at hatch; then watching eagerly for signs of puberty. We have four because we wanted one, but needed to ensure that at least one was a girl. (Yes, we checked and have a place to rehome them already) We are aiming for a docile, hand fed and raised, spoilt lump of a chicken. We need one to accessorize our couch, catch errant indoor insects and bread crumbs, and offer itself as a warm compress against the slings and arrows of life. A holding chicken, as granma Clampett would call it. It's great if she lays a few eggs. That's just gravy, and it's more than our dog gives us.

It has been my experience that if a rooster decides that YOU are not the boss, then he will assume that HE is the boss. You need to show him who is in charge. I'm not advocating for bird abuse here, but if he attacks you, he needs to lose this fight in no uncertain terms. A Buff Orpington rooster tore my elderly mom up one day and it would have been worse if the dog hadn't come to the rescue.

I had 4 sapphire hens and my main rooster was a blue birchin maran but my 2 of my hens were really broody and were constantly hatching out chicks.

Very helpful video - Thank you for sharing!

Nice job!

Thank you for sharing! I really enjoy watching your videos!

I had to get rid of my BR roo because he was always trying to stalk me when I went to feed and would go into full strength psycho attack mode with anyone else. He was a beautiful bird but super mean! Will never get another one. If I do he will get an early reservation to freezer camp!!

Thank you!

I have 2 chicks❤love them❤

Your Chik is very beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Amrocklar ile arasındaki fark nedir?

Lol speaking from personal experience, my barred rock rooster is straight from hell lol hes so mean bit Def does a great job protecting the girls.

Mashallah

I just got 2…. That’s a small one? Lol I thought that was gonna be a big one. 🤣

I picked up 6 today. Just hatched from a local hatchery.

We have over ten barred rocks they free range and super sweet to our 5 dogs and all the cats that cross through our property. Great breed

We raise the Porcelains on our small farm. 6 hens and 2 roosters and an incubator full of eggs! Lol great birds!!

Ok, I want to buy like 20 of them and only have these little guys running around, am I crazy?! They are so cute! With 20 of them I’ll have enough eggs 🤣

0:02 I have have a light Brahma hen that looks exactly like yours

Just bought 4 they are a little over a week old they are so cute they are very active and talkative for little ones I have them in with 4leghorns we will see when they get older if they can live together

We have 7 Sapphire Gem hens. We love them. They lay really well for us. They are our only hens now that we rehomed our one Salmon Faverolle. We get 5-7 eggs daily from our 7 hens. They're active, very inquisitive, very friendly. Several are very talkative and jump up on us to spend time with us for a short time each day. Hoover's Hatchery supposedly has a trademark on its name.They are a cross between an Andalusian hen and a Barred rock roo. If you breed those together and see barring in the chick the chick is a cockerel.

I have a duccle rooster and I paired him with two black game fowl. Hope it works out. They seem happy together so far

.75 cent, that’s a steal!
