I have about 20 chicks, all of whom are healthy except for 2 who are not. One has labored breathing but does not pant through her beak. I can see her neck puff up each time she breathes. The other one is slightly wheezy and sometimes clicks and is sometimes panting a little. Both chicks are...

I have a 3-month old Barred Cochin Bantam rooster who sleeps in the garage with 2 other roosters who he is growing up with. He is the head rooster. We adore him. The roosters get along fine so far. We have 6 hens of assorted sizes of the same age, who are in a little coop/run outside waiting to...

[/img] Please adopt my rooster, Cute Baby. He is about 11 weeks old. Barred Cochin Bantam. He crows too much for our urban neighborhood. Free to good home. Very cute rooster. Seattle area.

Anyone experienced with this breed want to guess? "She" does not act like a rooster so far.

Can anyone with a Silver-Spangled Hamburg comment on the volume of their crow relative to other breeds? Or.... are they all really loud? I have one that is about 9 weeks old. He has not crowed yet that I have heard. I will have to give him away unless he is unusually quiet. Thanks.

I have a Phoenix pullet and I read somewhere that she will be expected to lay only 1 egg per week!! Does anyone have experience with these chickens? I would like to know if they lay a lot of eggs. I know the eggs will be smallish. Also, I have read both "white" and "tinted" and any info on that...

Hello, I have 5 Silver-Laced Wyandotte chicks that are about 4 days old. Four of them look virtually identical. The 5th one has a very mottled face and is overall much lighter in color than the other 4. She (I hope it is a she!!) also has distinct dark stripes down her back, appearing to be a...
