She is the roosters favorite and has lost the feathers on her backside from being mounted so often. The other girls noticed her revealing pink skin and started pecking. It looks bad. I am treating her wounds and she will be fine. Wondering if anyone is selling saddles that would fit a full...
Well...as good as the noodle soup sounds, I just love my guys too much! They are the sweetest roosters I have ever had. Huge and handsome!! Guess I won't have perfect birds, but I will have happy ones!
Hackle feathers are the neck feathers right? Well I have 4 orpington roosters. One is splash, one blue, and 2 black. The blue and black each have hackle feathers that are either red, or yellow (that blend in with the black, but very noticeable). It's nice because I can tell them apart, but...
My orpingtons and dels are like that! After I let them out in the morning I have to sneak around the yard in hopes that they don't spot me or else them come a-runnin'. Once they spot me they start running, flying, and screaming all the way to me, and then they try to trip me up. I wonder what...

I guess I got lucky...my buff orps have starting laying at 19 weeks. Could be the quality of feed you feed them. I was purchasing their feed from Agway, and then one day stopped into Blue Seal and purchased a bag of their feed, and they were totally different. Both were grower feed. The...

Here are a nine photos of my Delaware's. They are 4 weeks old. Could you please give me feedback on what gender you think they might be. When I first hatched them, I did the feather sexing on them and thought that I had 4 girls and 5 boys, but now I'm no so sure. I took these pictures tonight...
