Just for fun! I got some light brown eggs from this Tetra Tint hen who was covered by this Lavender Ameraucana rooster. Anyone ever crossed these before? Guesses on what I'm going to get? They are in the incubator now!
I have had 10 chickens since about last March. They have all been together the entire time. Last week, my bantam died unexpectedly. I am honestly not sure what happened to her. Anyway, the last three days two of my chickens have started missing feathers on the front of their necks! Looks like...
Help please! I have a bantam hen who has been acting strangely for the past two days. I live in the mountains of North Carolina. We have had some crazy back and forth temperatures here the past few days, and at first, I thought it must have something to do with that. The others are fine though...
Hey guys! Here is my new coop so far. We've never done this before, so any advice or input is greatly appreciated! Let me know your thoughts on what we should do next! We plan to leave the run uncovered, adding shade cloth over part of it. I know the girls will quickly eat and tear up the...
I have an EE roo, and a mix of hens. ee's, blue and black marans, black sex link, rir, and an ameraucana. Just wondering what the offspring would be considered? Would they all be EE? Or just barnyard mix?
Bought these birds the other day.....lady said she got them at a feed store sold as EE pullets. No idea of age. What do you guys think? Agr? Sex? Breed? Sorry these aren't the best pics.
Ok. So this is my first time having more than two chickens, trying to hatch anything, having a rooster......basically I'm a newbie. I have 4 EE hens, 2 RIR, and one Millie Fleur hen. I have an EE rooster, a production red rooster, and a bantam rooster.
My first question is, I know I have too...
Ok, so I posted this EE about a month ago and the consensus was that she was indeed a she..... Please tell me she isn't going to turn out to be a cockerel....
This is the pic I posted about a month and a half ago....
He/she is about 5 months old. Fluffy rear end and no tail feathers at all! I have several other breeds, and this one is one of the biggest ones.... I was told it was a production red pullet, but I'm still unsure. Thoughts?
I have 16 chicks, about 5 weeks old, different breeds. For about the past week most of them have been sneezing. They have no discharge, no watery or red eyes, no other symptoms at all. They are happy, eating, drinking, hopping around, growing like weeds. They have been inside my house on pine...
Ok, so it's been a few weeks since I posted these guys. Probably still too early, but it's driving me crazy!!!! Who knew buying straight run required so much patience! Someone please tell me I don't have all roosters! Here are pics, and my {uneducated} guesses. Opinions are appreciated!
#1 roo...
Someone gave me this adorable chicken tractor. I'm afraid I have too many chickens for it though......what is the typical space needed per chicken. Any ideas on how to make this work for 10 chicken? It's about 4 feet tall, 5 feet long, and 4 feet wide. Thanks!
Any guesses on these two? They came out of a group mixed breed pullets. Sweet babies.
This is "little foot" any guesses?
Fluffy on the left is the one I am wondering about.....
I have 6 straight run EE chicks. They are all feathering out fairly differently, but there is one I am particularly curious about. They are about 2 weeks old. I had someone tell me yesterday this one was a roo.....thoughts? Is it too early to tell? What should I look for?
