I have 6, 15wk old Rhode Island Red pullets. Four of them are, I think, roosters because of their combs are larger than the two hens. Their tail feathers are also a little longer. Also, the hens are a lighter color than the roosters.

LOL thanks!

Thanks to everyone for their help & input

I tried to hatch once but only one out of five lived.Now I stick with buying them day old.

Whenever somebody gives me a chicken it ALWAYS turns out to be a rooster. I think I have the Rooster Curse LOL. Anyway,I have a Leghorn rooster and a Rainbow rooster. I only have three hens( a Phoenix, RIR, Buff Orp). They are putting a beating on the girls. I don't want to kill them but I am...

The jumping on the back and attacking necks sounds like something a rooster would do. That's how roosters mate. It sounds like you have a rooster. Could you upload a picture so I could see how big his comb is?

Sorry to say but she passed this afternoon I went out to check on her and she was fine. As soon as I started to leave the barn she started to have, I think, some sorta seizure for ten seconds and then she stopped moving. I don't know what I did wrong But at least she was comfortable these last...

I have had at least ten goats in the past and they were a breeze to take care of. I would go out before work and make sure their water tub was filled up. I feed them hay and a scoop of sweet feed almost every night. They like to climb so is there anything they can climb on? My goats used to...

My neighbor, who is a chicken guru, said to mix up an egg and use the syringe to feed it to her. I fed her half an egg and she enjoyed it!

She is standing up on her own. Still not drinking or eating. It's almost 100 here in KY. I still have the fan on her. I have gotten some water into her throat with the syringe. I sprayed her bottom. I'm going to the feed store tomorrow night when I get paid. I will buy a container of SWAT & get...

I have a spray bottle of Blu-Kote! Yay! If this doesn't work I will get some SWAT. Thanks! I'll keep y'all posted!

I washed her around one this afternoon and it is almost 8:30 at my house and I just checked and she is free of maggots. I dusted her behind with diatomaceous earth because it is a natural bug killer. I will use neosporin tomorrow when I check on her. Thank you so much! God Bless...

i just found a hen with maggots on her vent. She was bathed and we cleaned it out. She is refusing to drink but I have managed to get some water down her throat with a syringe. She is in a cage by herself with a fan on her since it's almost 95 degrees. She is a Plymouth Rock so she doesn't fair...
