I have a 4 month rooster who stays in our Big Bird run with a 1 1/2 rooster, 2 other 4 month roosters and about 9 hens and pullets. They've all been together from hatch. One minute he's fine, we fed them scraps and went about our business. 15 minutes later we found our 4 month old walking around...

I bought 15 chickens through a hatchery online. I lost five of them but I don't know which ones I still have. I was supposed to get three Hatchery Choice dark brown egg layers, three salmon faverolles, Three Olive eggers, three white leghorns, and three cuckoo marans. I know I still have three...

Is this hen an Easter Egger?

These babies have had time to grow. Not sure how old but I'm thinking I have a cockerel and pullet. I think its orpington but I wanted fluffy butt orpingtons.

I know this is terrible pic but its all I got from seller. Can you tell me if it's a pullet or cockerel from the barring?

I have roof vents in front and back. I also installed 2 Windows across from one another for a cross draft. But, I've been told I need more ventilation. I was wondering if I took the plastic off door windows and replaced with hardware cloth if that would help? I'm worried the rain would pour in...

I have a "Big Bird" Run that has all 9 Easter Eggers and 1 EE Rooster. They are in a 30 ft. Run with a rubbermaid coop. I also have a mix of 8 other hens: Isa Brown's, Orpingtons and a Wyandotte mix. We are in the process of trying to integrate the 8 hens. They are from 2 to 7 months old in...

Well, nearly all of our first ever chickens have turned into roosters. This one is our last one to confirm. Hen or roo?

I bought a 2 year old hen from a lady who lets her chickens free range. She said the bald spot on her back could be from roosters or she's molting. What do yall say? Do I do anything for it? Shes in quarantine with 2 other pullets I bought from same lady.

Is it okay to give a 7 month old rooster 3 month old pullets?

These chicks are anywhere from 3.5 to 5 months is what I was told. I have one tiny one (I've never owned one this small) that seems to hide in the coop and run away from the others alot. It was sharing a run with these pullets and about 20 others. Is there a big age difference between them? Do I...

I acquired these pullets yesterday. One lavender orpington is so little. I have no idea their ages. They were kept in an open air hoop run with about 20 or more other chickens of varying ages. The owner only fed conditioning feed with 16% protein and they've never had medicated feed or been...

In my efforts to balance my hen-to-rooster ratio, I decided to get more hens. When I found a local lady selling young chickens for $15 each I thought what a great deal! I will just get a couple. I came home with six, pretty sure one's a cockerel :rolleyes: I was told they are between 3.5 to 5...

We are adding a single hen to our flock. I know it's not ideal but this person is looking to rehome only her. We've had our EE since July, they're about 6 months old, no-one is laying yet. 1 rooster and 5 hens. I know I need to quarantine but I'm trying to sort that with just the one bird...

A lady is wanting to rehome these 2 hens because they are bullying the rest of her flock. Are both of these Wyandottes hens? Im pretty sure the top one is but what about the bottom pic? I havent seen them in person yet but she said in her post they were born May 2021.

So we are upcycling our old trampoline into a run. Decided we should figure out a coop as well. Trying to build it out of all my husband's scrap. I'm not a builder. I know it isn't square but its solid! I was thinking about adding hardware cloth to areas under the angled roof for ventilation. Is...

Is this barnyard mix (barred rock?) a hen or a rooster?

So I pulled these hens out of our flock almost a month ago. They are better and today I reintroduced them. The rooster is doing the dance, squating low, head down..these two were his favorites befire I quarantined them. The other hens...well, you know, the pecking order thing. Anyway, I'm...

Can chickens eat this "nature's salad" as a treat?

We are new chicken owners. We picked up our barnyard mix chicken from a local guy. We were told "Snickers" is a pullet. My husband has said she might be a rooster. She does have a dominant personality. Her comb and wattles have started deepening in color this past week. I thought she was just...
