Looking closer at them this morning, I am completely convinced that they are sex links. Thank you all so much for your help!

I am sorry about the crappy pictures, I will get some better ones tomorrow.

Thank you for this, I think you are exactly right.

That was supposed to say along with my meaties not mates. Gotta love autocorrect! I guess I will be calling the hatchery in the morning. :/

Well,now I am even more confused! See,along with my mates I ordered 25 mixed Rhode Island reds...but I thought they would all be the same colour and bigger. I think I have a shot of agirl,let me look.

The cockrals are like this and the girls all brown. Thank you :)

I am sorry if this is too gross but this is what I found. It was in the run,not in the coop. It was one of my smaller birds :( Whatever it was didn't break in,the little door from the run to the coop was open.

Something killed one of my chickens last night and left only feathers and a wee bit of guts. We live far enough north that we don't have skunks or Coons. Our biggest concern is always bears and cougars...but this was obviously neither of these. So, what else would climb a six foot fence and...

Well, got the report back, it was PROBABLY e-coli but they are doing a little more testing to be sure.

Can't recall being so discouraged in a LONG time! Last Tuesday I received my chicks from Miller Hatcheries - 75 cornish giants and 25 red rock cross. They all seemed healthy until the next day. The broilers started to fall over and get really weak and die. The others were just fine. Within a...

No cannon but some bloody loud bear bangers...I hope that did the trick!

Well, I got them all back inside. Shot off a bear banger or 3, dog has settled down...fixed the fence...I guess now we are supposed to calm down. lol

For the first time in the three years of having chickens, something broke into my coop - the outside run part. It ripped the bottom boards off and I still don't know if I am missing any birds b/c we are all (me and the chickens) freaked out. My dog is freaking right out. I am thinking it is a...

It is in a coop but the chickens free range so have a little door to go in and out...I suppose anything could go in and out...we just have not have anything bother them yet (the bear was just looking, lol) and they have been there around 2 yrs now.

I haven't posted here in a long long long time but something happened yesterday that freaked me out. I went out with the kids to gather eggs and found a dead kitten (probably a few months old) in one of the laying boxes. This has been such a strange and tragic summer/fall for me and this about...

Ok, thanks for that! It is colder than it had been... I will be patient

I have 9 leghorns that lay faithfully for me daily - every day I get between 7 and 10 eggs and then BAM, three days ago they just stopped cold turkey...cold chicken... What is going on? Any thoughts for this newbie? Thanks! Penny

He now knows that I would far rather be out with the chickens than cleaning our house! I don't want him to grow to resent these birdies...guess I will make him a very special omelet tomorrow morn and the next and the next... Does anyone else have a spouse who isn't nearly as fond of the...
