My one year old Naked Neck rooster is a sweetheart to me. He eats out of my hand and "talks" to me from the bedroom window. The problem is he is overly aggressive with the hens. Most of the hens are starting to go bald or bleed from his spurs. We have tried clipping his nails to where he...

My two year old hen is laying hard shelled eggs, but with ridges around it. The ridges are getting more pronounced and deeper. She is on a premium diet and has a bowl of oyster shell always available. Again, the shells are not soft; they are very hard.

I am hatching Sultan chicks for sale and so far four have turned out white (just like their parents); however, today, one hatched grey. Is this considered an abnormality? I guess there is a black Sultan in this genealogy.

I bought the last pullet Naked Neck at the feed store last year. However, it is so much different from my others. Could it be this Naked Neck is a cockerel or a mix of Naked Neck and something else? It has not crowed or had any eggs. It is as sweet as it can be though but walks more upright...

My two year old Naked Neck hen lost her three week old chick 5 days ago to a bobcat. She has now started pecking on the other hens if they get near her. I bought a wire cage to put her in. However, I am not sure what else to do or how long to keep her in it with food and water of course. Any...

I have a week old Polish chick and was wondering how old it needs to be before you can tell the sex of it?

This is a picture of my 8 week old Naked Neck/Polish cross. I do not know if it is a pullet or roo, but I do notice the older it gets, its neck seems to have a hump in it. It has always been taller than the other chicks its age and sems to have a longer body type. Any advice would be...

Out of 12 eggs, only one hatched. It did not matter though, our Naked Neck hen adopted it, and loves it to pieces. It's Polish mama could care less. I took some pictures while the adoptive mother was pecking and squawking hoping someone could give me their opinion if it is male or female...

This is a picture of my newest 8 week old black chick. The chick is half Polish and half Naked Neck. I just can not decide what the sex is. It seems to stand more upright than my other chickens. I have never heard it crow much less say anything.

I thought I bought two Sultan pullets, but I think one is turning into a roo. He has a red face and longer head feathers than the other. See picture. Thank you! Top is my suspected roo and on the bottom is my pullet.

I am new to having chickens and have been lucky, up until now, I have not had any problems with the other hens or my rooster being aggressive. I have one Polish rooster, Roger, who was a sweet guy, until I let my four 13 week old chicks out to play in the yard with him and the other 16 hens...
