Let me know what you think?

My suspicion is this supposed girl is a boy?

Found this gem in the boxes yesterday! Cracked it for breakfast this morning and look what I found, another egg!!!

Hard to get a good shot but what do you think this girl is? Her head is poofy like a punk rocker and her face cheek feathers are puffy and she sweeks instead of the normal balking.

Does anyone know what predator might being doing this? My guess it's some type of hawk or owl. Some photos are graphic...[/IMG]ttp://"]www.backyardchickens.com/content/type/61/id/7014982/width/200/height/400[/IMG]

We ordered birds from McMurray this year and we got the 1 "exotic" breed this year that I am thinking is a rooster. We also got I believe a Speckled Sussex rooster and a Partridge Rock Rooster. We ordered all hens... grrrr. Anyway can you confirm they are all Roosters and what is the one with...

HI I don't know quite how to search for my question so I will just post this... We have plastic poly around our covered run to keep snow and wind out during winter. It has worked quite well all winter here in NE WI, my question is, How long do would you keep it on in spring? I think the lowest...

What is going on with my girls? The feathers above their tails are all poofy with white feathers sticking out is it their pin feathers? is someone a feather eater? or what? Bad Hair day? We live in a pretty cold climate NE WI so I have been thinking it is just because we have had a terrible...

Ok i have caught them in the act. It seems to be one Barred Rock leader and the others follow. What happened is we got a new batch of feed from our feed mill we always use and have not had issues with. WELL, when we used our new batch right before Christmas my husband noticed it looked a little...

Hi! we have 2 hens that we got from a friend this summer that we think are just over a year old or so. 1 is a Andalusian and 1 is a Americauna mix. They laid about every other day in the summer/fall. Soon as the temp dropped and the days became shorter they have stopped laying completely. I...

Hi Everyone, i went to check on the girls this morning and gave them some treats. I looked in the coop and 1 golden comet was just sitting in the middle of the coop not moving but alert. She won't stand up. I pulled her over by me and she never made a peep or an effort to get away. She doesn't...

One of our girls "Gertie" missed laying yesterday. Look at what she laid this morning!!!! OUCH!!! it is about 3 inches and heavy!! OMG!!!

Hello all!!! I have a question that has probably been asked already but what do you do for a green source for food during the winter? Right now we give our girls grass and swiss chard from the garden to get some green in their diet. They are not free ranging due to our 2 golden "bird hunting"...

So Hubby and I and my 4 yr old were out checking on the girls this morning and my son noticed this poop on top of the waterer. I noticed some fell into the water and I scraped it out and it looks like some lining?, a photo of that wouldn't work since is collapsed right away. My girls are...
