I sure hope so. I am hoping it’s not something that Rosco brought in. I’m not even sure what black spots Iam looking for on the new roo, but he’sgot nothing. Is there anything I can do for frostbite?

Can anyone tell me if the black on this hen’s combis a problem? We were taking the girls out this morning and noticed it. 😞 She also has runny poo. There is nothing on Rosco - he still looks fine.

Thank you for this. I’m not certain of this guys age, 6-9 months and we definitely have a dominant hen so integrating could be interesting.

It has been difficult, and we have tried very hard to keep it as separated as possible, because while I’d be sad, my kids would be devastated if we lost the girls. Rosco is nowhere near the girls. I haven’t measured. He is not even near their path from their coop to my garden, well over 300...

So, we are about two and a half weeks into quarantine for Mr. Rosco the new to us barnyard mix rooster. There has been no sign of any health issues. I keep going over the quarantine articles on the site - about the canary thing ... I only have 4 hens and the thought of choosing one to possibly...

Yay! More Kansas chicken lovers! Welcome! This is a very fun community to be part of.

Welcome!! We just moved from the city to the country and now have our chickens. I have a full incubator, and some chicks on order! :) Chicken math! Glad you're here - everyone here is a wealth of information!

Welcome and hello from another chicken lover in an old farmhouse on the Kansas Prairie!

I will definitely email you in the spring, or maybe I'll have my son do it. I do not make phone calls unless there is no other option, and he is just like his Mama. LoL! I actually just found and subscribed to Poultry Show Central and I remember seeing your ad. I don't know why I didn't...

Thank you for letting me know this. I do know that breeders have lives beyond their chickens and my family too comes before anything else. I don’t recognize your name as someone I contacted, but I will definitely reach out to you later in the spring. The 2 breeders that I contacted, I emailed...

Thank you for this. My 4 girls have never seen a rooster either ... I hope it goes as smoothly as this! I wondered how getting him in would work - he isn't super eager to be caught. He doesn't fight it once he gets picked up, but he definitely runs when he sees us coming. Well he did at his...

This is immensely helpful!! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer all of these so completely. Rosco is a barnyard mix rooster and will be roughly 7 months old by the time he is out of quarantine. He's been in quarantine for 2 weeks now. I have seen nothing at all concerning...

Thanks so much for this information. I have contacted breeders listed on the conservancy - and gotten no response, I wondered if their list was not up to date. I talked to 2 other breeders who no longer have the Creves. I will definitely check the NPIP database. Thank you!

Thank you so much for responding and for the recommendation for Greenfire. It sounds like that will be the best source for my son to look at for the Crevecoeurs.

I am happy to have found this thread. @CreveChris , do you by any chance sell/ship eggs or chicks? My son has fallen in love with this breed and would very much like to raise them and possibly show them. The Conservancy said that some of their birds were used by McMurray, so he has some of...

Thank you for this information! Morning integration does make sense as does our in the pasture where whomever needs to can get away. My hens have been laying for about a month. We are getting an egg from each of them every day. The guy we chose is about 6 months old. She gave me an age...

Hello. We are getting a 6-9 month old rooster. Right now I have only 4 hens which are 6 months old. I’m planning to quarantine this guy for at least 2 weeks. After that I was thinking I’d put him in a 4’x4’x6’ dog kennel inside the run for the hens so they can all see each other for a week...

Oh no ... the last thing I need is yet another place to look at birds ... 😳😳😍

I was wondering about these too! I think I assumed they were not the English variety, but would love to know!
