My 4 year old RIR, Ginger, started acting a sick this morning. Ginger is my favorite of 5 hens. She has her tail down, walks a little slower (almost a waddle), and lies down whenever she can. I have searched other posts, but she doesn't really fit the average sick hen scenario. She is...

So this ad was posted at my work classifieds: "Free Duck. Pet duck needs new home. Does not fly, very friendly, had chicken friends, but they are gone, he needs new friends." We have 6 chickens that are less than a year old (got them in March). 1 rooster, 1 RIR, 2 Salmon Favs, and 2 silkies...

Someone in my area is selling orpington pullets that are about 3 - 4 months old. Can I safely add one or two to an established flock of youngsters (6-8 weeks)? Some of my young ones are bantams, but two are larger. I just don't want anyone to get hurt!! Thanks for helping a newbie that is...

Any guess on sex for these three? I posted my best guess, but I am new at this so... #1 Blue Silkie, not sure if that is what call this color. My guess is roo but "he" is much smaller than the other chicks "his" age. Hatched 3/27 #2 Partridge Silkie - Guessing a pullet. Hatched 3/20...

Just found out my egg layer is a roo...want to make sure I am not wrong with another one! My favorite of my six chicks is Eleanor, a cochin silkie cross. Is it too early to sex Eleanor? "She" is about 5-6 weeks old. We can only keep one roo, so I want to prepare myself. Not sure if the...

Since my other "sex -linked black australorp" turned out to be a barred plymouth roo, can you verify this one from the same seller? I was told it was a black star pullet. Right?? I also have some silkies that are about 6 weeks old. How soon are you able to sex those fluffy little...

I bought this chick as a black australorp. However, she looks more like a barred plymouth rock now that her feathers have come in. Are my amateur chicken identifying skills correct? If you can sex the chicken even better! The chick was supposed to be sex linked...but she was also supposed...
