Thank you for letting me know..I found some great info there on how to repair her beak!

I am going to try using superglue gel and follow the directions that I found for that method so I can repair her beak. Thanks so much for your reply/help!

Thank you!

Thank you for your feedback!

Hi again, I have one more question to ask. We had suspected that one of our three chickens was actually a rooster, instead of a hen like we were told. We are certain that he is a rooster now though, because he started crowing early this morning. We are not supposed to have roosters in our...

Okay thank you. I won't worry then. I just wondered if something was wrong since she has laid an egg every day since June until missing 3 out of the last 5 days this week. She has lived with the other 2 chickens (now 4 months) pretty much since they were old enough to integrate them - we raised...

My 9 month old black Sex Link hen has cracked her beak - we have no idea how this could've happened. What can we do? She somehow has cracked her beak clear across the top, from one side to the other, about a fourth of the way in from the tip/end of her beak.I don't know how deep the crack is...

My 9 month old Black Sex Link hen has suddenly been missing days egg laying. What could be the issue? We haven't changed up feed or snacks (oats & mealworms), but we did recently build a chicken run onto the coop that houses 2 other chickens besides herself..that is the only change. All 3...

Thanks, I'll check that out. I also found an video on BYC about training your rooster not to crow. Of course that doesn't solve everything..hopefully he will be a nice rooster to our two hens. And then there's the issue with many chicks being sired, which my husband has no desire to deal...

Ugh...Maybe we can teach Nugget not to crow.

I thought I'd post a few more pictures that I took today in hopes of showing Nugget and Willow's feathers better for determining pullet or cockerel. We're pretty certain Willow's a pullet. Nugget Willow...

Thank you for the input on what sex Nugget may be. I've been afraid that it may be the case that she is a he, and we will be really sad if this is so. We cannot have cockerels in our neighborhood. And Willow and Nugget are so closely bonded (Willow almost didn't make it when only 1 month old...

We think they are 10-12 weeks. We purchased them from Shopper's Supply the first week in June 2016 and they thought they were a couple weeks old at that point. Now it's the beginning of August, so that would make them 10-12 weeks if the sales clerk was correct. Wish I knew the exact date, but...

Thank you. I've been afraid that may be the case and if so, we will be really sad. We cannot have Roos in our neighborhood, and Willow and Nugget are so closely bonded (Willow almost didn't make it and I really believe the bond with Nugget is the reason she is still with us), that we will have...

Hi I asked on another thread, but then saw your thread and thought I'd see what you thought. We haven't hear any suggestions yet on what our two chickens' sexes are and cannot figure it out ourselves easily..this is our first flock and we have two 10-12 week old Wyandottes besides our 8 month...

That's so strange that they aren't showing up..I'm looking at them on the post on my screen. I will try posting them again..thanks. Chicken #1/Nugget (chicken on right with reddish comb) Chicken #2/Willow (chicken on left)

I'm wondering about mine also. Do you think these are boys also or a girls? Mine look similar to the picture above. Chick #1/Nugget (chick on left with reddish comb) Chick #2/Willow (chick on left) Any ideas? I really appreciate the help, as we cannot have roos in our neighborhood...

Hi, we also have two golden laced Wyandotte chickens that are around 12 weeks, give or take. We're pretty sure one is a hen, but are not as sure about the other either. Here's our pictures...do any of you have suggestions on the sexes? Chick #1/Willow - we think she's a hen. Chick...

Also forgot to mention in my original post that besides the fan always running for them, we have a misting system that comes on also - although they don't seem to like it much and kind of stay away from the cool mist. They do like the cool, moist dirt that is left behind though. Also, we do...

We do also have a fan constantly running for them too. Right now they are nestled down in the dirt in front of the fan, cooling themselves.
