I am interested in doing the fair next year and showing one of my birds. Are any of mine good enough to show? They don't have to be perfect, but I'd like a chance! I have an Americauna, Silky Bantam, Fleur De Uccle Bantam, white Cochin Bantam frizzle, and white Cochin Bantam Roo. The roo is a...

I got her out of the "assorted Bantam" box at my local store. Any thoughts? She/he is the red chick and has fuzzy feet.

I just had to share my adorable find yesterday. I went to my local farmers store to buy chicken wire for my adult chickens. Well the store had gotten a random assortment of bantams and what did I discover? Frizzles! Of course I HAD to get them. So now I have cute chicks with a bad hair day. ;)...

I currently have five hens and one roo. They are all just under one year old. The hens are all full sized and the roo is a White Cochin Bantam. They have all been raised together. At the moment I am low on funds and am considering getting rid of a few to cut down on feed costs. I was just...

Hello, I'm a new chicken owner and am wondering what is going on with my hen. She's only about ten months old and has been sitting on eggs. It has been three days now. What's weird is that it is the middle of winter! Temperatures are below freezing. She has a nice coop though. She is a Buff...

This is my 20 week old SLW. He has a really red comb so I am wondering if he is a roo? My other bantam roo crowed when he was only 10 weeks, and this guy hasn't crowed yet. What do you think? I have to get rid of him if hes a roo.

Hello I love my blue Andalusian and I think she's just beautiful! But I'm wondering what her coloration is considered? I know that a lot of andalusians aren't actually a true "blue." She's about 10 weeks old.

I'm trying to figure out what is going on with my SLWs. I got one from a store where all the birds are sexed before so it is a 98% chance that you get a pullet. Now at 3 weeks of age, I am pretty sure that it's a cockerel because it's got a red comb and red wattles coming it. I already have a...

I've got this three week old chick that I'm 99% sure is going to be a cockerel. He's only three weeks old (not even completely feathered) and already has pink wattles coming in and this comb is turning pink. However, before I start looking for a new home for him, I want to be a 100% sure he's a...

I have eight young chickens and it seems that two are becoming cockerels. Four of the chicks are 3-4 weeks old, and the other four are 10 weeks old. They are living together full time now. One of the 10 week olds is obviously a roo because he crows every day. He's a White Cochin Bantam. The...

Sorry I have so many questions - I just didn't want to make three separate threads, so I'm going to squish them all together here. First off, the heat light. I have four chicks at the moment with a 100 watt red light in their coop. Three are 4 weeks old and one is 3 weeks old. The 4 week-olds...

Today I got super lucky and captured this on film. My chicks are figuring out how to fly, and so one flies around, and then the other tries to fly but face-plants into the fence! LOL xD (sorry for the bad quality - it's with my phone camera)

Okay, interesting things are always happening to me. :p I found a young bird stuck in my lawnmower bag. It's still a baby, but it's feathered in. It can flutter around but is unable to fly... kind of crashes into stuff. I stuck it in with my chicks; they are about the same size, the chicks are...

Hello again. Here's the situation: I have three pullets and one cockerel (9 weeks old). I also have four younger chicks (2-3 weeks old). Their chicken coop is still in construction, so it is very small. It is only 9'x2' and is separated in half so the bigger chicks don't hurt the smaller...

This is my first time raising chicks, so I took waaay to many pictures of them. It's turned out to be really fun because I can look back and see how they've grown. They grow FAST! I thought you all might enjoy seeing the change week by week (well, close to week by week). If you don't know the...

I recently got three new chicks to add to my chicken collection. I got them from IFA so supposedly they are all pullets, but I'm questioning one. Also they are bigger then most chicks at the stores around here, so I'm not sure of their age. What do you think? (and sorry for the bad quality...

This is my chicken Momo. She is about 7-8 weeks old and lives with three other pullets. I posted some pictures on here a few weeks ago and everyone seemed to think Mo was a pullet, but today I saw her attempting to crow. (It didn't sound very good more like a screech, haha). She's also always...

I have this adorable Bantam. He/she is about 6 weeks old now. The store I got him/her from wasn't very specific on the breed. My receipt said something like Bantam Frizzle, but he/she doesn't look very "frizzly" to me. What do you think? This is at five weeks. This is about six weeks...
