I've been away at school as my young birds have been growing up and just received a few photos. Does this chicken look like a boy or does it just have some longer tail feathers. I already have two roosters in a flock of less than twenty-five so I really can't have another.

Got a call at six this morning to pick up my chicks. This is my free one from Murray McMurray. I'm thinking Silver Spangled Hamburg. Is there a way to feather sex this guy or do I just have to wait? What do you think and if you have received the free chick, what breed did you get?

Today was my first time ordering chicks online. A raccoon killed all my pullets so now I have to start over. I ordered from McMurray hatchery: 2 GLW, 2 Australorps, 2 lt Brahmas, 2 WLR Cornish, 2 Salmon Faverolles, 2 Speckled Sussex, 1 Mottled Houdan, 1 Black Giant, and 1 White Giant. I also got...

I am at school and my parents just sent me this picture. He is a little over a year old and has never had a problem before. We have never had to deal with bleeding chickens before and my parents don't normally handle them. I can't be there to help but none of us really know what to do. He has...

They are getting along pretty well but the new girls have never been handled until today. Anything I can do to make settling in easier? Also how long should I wait until...

I have a two month old cockerel that was supposed to be a white Leghorn. He had spots when I got him (mistakenly believing he was a she) and has become more colorful as he ages. He still looks like a leghorn, mostly white with a light grey flight feather on each wing and now he has buff lacing...

Anyone have a good plan for a small coop with an attached run for two or three chickens? I would prefer one nesting box so I can use it for young birds, injured birds etc. A run that goes under the coop part or extends out only a little is what I am looking for. Ended up with four cockerels out...

These guys were born the last week of May. I think the Silkie is male and hope the ee is female. What do you think?

I have a two month old silkie of an undetermined gender that is being evil. It was shy and sweet for the first month then became aggressive to the point where it is referred to as the bitting chicken. It lives with two cockerels and two pullets the same age and is not aggressive to them but we...
