I don't post here but do come and read. Anyway I have to share this story I hope I'm putting it in the right forum. I have 1 rooster and seven hens.About a 6 weeks ago I bought 2 bronze turkeys, 2 RI pullets and 2 silver laced cochin pullets. I put them outside and Friday and watched to make...

I have a Red Heeler that is 6 months old. I took her out to the chicken yard from the time she was 5 weeks. Never could break her of chasing the chickens so I just don't take her out there anymore. She never tried to hurt them just chase but it upset the chickens. I wouldn't trust a neighbors...

This isn't a very good picture of the girls but you can get an idea what they look like. Neither one has a muff or beard. I got them at Atwoods, where i work last spring. The were assorted pullets.

[/URL]] I have a brown leghorn i know it's not her, I also have a gold laced cochin, a white hen which i believe is a chatacler, then a buff colored hen that i'm not sure what she is. I also have 3 duck hens, don't think they are laying them. would love to solve this mystery

I was hoping for a buff cochin, i have a gold laced cochin that i love!

I started letting my newer chicks out in the chicken yard with my older hens roos and ducks. I have a small kids swimming pool for the ducks. I went out to check on them and when i did a count one was missing. i walked around the yard and found her in the pool. The chicks are now about 6 weeks...

This is one of my newer chicks, I don't know if it is clear in the picture but her feet are feathered. She is about a month old in this picture. Thank you for any info

Thank you, Been trying to look at pictures on line and only could figure the gold laced cochin. I think the black one is the Austalope it does have black feet.

I know for sure I have one Roo but don't know what breed. The others in the first picture are hens but have no clue to breed. I have now idea what sex/breed the black one is I thought roo but never heard it crow and it is as old as the others. also the few tail feathers are gone can anyone help?

Thanks for the info. Hopefully they will have some more chick starter when I go to work on Wed. If not I'll go to the feed store and pick it up.

Wow how cute! I work at the Atwoods in McAlester and love it. Just brought home some pullets last night.

Hi, I'm cindy and i live in Mcalester Ok, been here for about 5 years. Really like it. I finally got chickens this spring. I live on 3 acres and i have 3 toy poodles, one ACD puppy, 12 chickens, 4 ducks a QH mare and a donkey.

As I posted earlier I got some new chicks. They already have feathers. My question is that they were out of chick starter so can i feed them layer pellets till i can get the starter? I didn't figure it would hurt them since they are older. Do i really need starter? thanks for any advice cindy

I work at a Farm supply store and today they marked down the older pullets. I've been wanting to get some more hens so i got 6. 5 are barred rock and one is a buff ophington i think. They already have feathers on so I put them in the coop in an dog playpen that i have to keep them seperated form...

My first few eggs about a month ago were a greenish blue color. I got them every 2 or 3 days. I didn't know which chicken layed them, I looked at pictures of chickens that lay colored eggs and didn't see any that matched my hens.( I got straight run pullets)Now I'm getting light tan eggs every 2...
