A friend of mine hatched these chicks in her classroom. I am thinking about keeping two of them to replace two of my hens that a friend is taking. These are mixes of all sorts and they are 3 weeks old. Which two would you keep? (FYI I am in the city and cannot have roosters) This is all...

Hi, my oldest chicken is concerning me a little. About a month ago I noticed that her fluff feathers had not lost the sheathing around them. I brought her in, gave her a bath and helped remove the sheathing. Now they are all fluffy and look good (I will add that she did not have about 75% of...

I have a 1.5 year old Mottled Java that has lost most of the feathers on her head and throat (see picture). She is not the bottom of the pecking order, I would say she is ranked 2nd out of the 9 hens I have. I don't have any roosters either. What would cause her to lose the feathers on her...

I caught my Cuckoo Marans yesterday in my neighbor's yard, stalking a cat! The cat was not interested in all. This funny chicken will even charge at my Jack Russells, she is pretty brave! Anyone else have a chicken who is not such a chicken?

I have two Pygora/Cashgora does that I need to re-home. They are just over a year old and have type B coats. They are located in Kiowa, CO. Very nice fiber producers. They are very timid around new people but once they trust you they are friendlier. They need to stay together, they are best...

This is Shirley, she is almost 3 months old. She is significantly smaller than my Cuckoo Marans and Buff Brahma (I know that is a large breed) chicks that are the same age, and extremely timid (but is ok with me catching her). I bought her as a sexed pullet but we all know that is not a...

My name is Coco. I am 12 weeks old. The feed store said I was a Cuckoo Marans (they had to replace an order of Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, so my mom is starting to question what I am). My legs are pink with black on the front. I have a single comb, which is a little pink but no different from...

Please help try to sex Coco the Cuckoo. The redness in the wattles has me worried. This chick is about 4-5 weeks old. Thanks!

This chick is about 2 weeks old. I am already worried about the size of its comb but I thought Cuckoo Marans could be sexed very early by coloring. Can anyone confirm this is a pullet?

I just got this pullet yesterday. The woman said she was a Speckled Sussex but she is black not brown. Could she be a Java? Thanks!

My 7 month old barred rock hen is not acting like herself. I have searched threads here and found similar situations but I am still unsure as to what to do. She is either just sitting on the perch sleeping or standing with the other chickens looking miserable. As far as I know she has not...

So just like I got this great idea to get chickens, I got this great idea to get an angora rabbit. I first got the idea this summer while I was working at a summer camp at a local yarn/fabric shop. The shop manager brought in a shawl she knitted from the wool of her angora rabbit, it was so...

I have posted pictures of these guys since they hatched. Now the time has come to confirm what has been said. They are nine weeks old today. #3 crowed this morning. I am going to look at some pullets today to replace them, the roos will be rehomed asap or go to the swap this weekend. 5 out...

Hi I need some help with breeds. I would like to add a pure white hen to my little flock. I do not want a white egg layer so I know leghorns are out. What breeds come in pure white that are social and friendly? I am not looking to breed, I just love the "classic" chicken look. Thank you in...

I posted this question in What Gender or Breed is This and it was suggested that I post over here to maybe find an answer. I have six 4-5 week old chicks. I am confused as to what is going on with the feathers of one of them. I am new to owning chickens so this might be a stupid question and I...

I have a 4-5 week old EE mutt that is growing feathers differently than my other chicks. Is this normal or what? I am beginning to think it is a roo too! Its wing feathers are smooth but on his back and tail they look more like hair. I am very curious how this one is going to turn out, new...

I am a first time chick owner and I love learning all about them. I have a mixed bag of mutt chicks, most of them came from blue/green eggs and I think one came from a brown egg (we hatched them in our classroom so I don't remember exactly). Now that they are growing feathers their colors are...

Hi everyone! I have been stalking this site for a while but I am now officially a proud owner of chicks so I thought I would say hello! I am adopting chicks from our classroom. They are a mixed assortment and I can't wait to see what they turn out to be, of course I hope that they will all...

I am adopting some of the chicks we hatched in my classroom. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I don't pick out all roosters. I have been looking for any post that might help me find out what some of them are. The eggs were all different colors: blue, pink, brown. I want to keep the...
