    Ainawgsd's farm chickens

    Well, someone's nosey! And this from a batch of chicks that acted like the sky was falling every time we had to open the brooder.

    Post pictures of your Meyer hatchery Cookies & Cream chickens (Hens & Roosters)!!

    Mine was certainly a tough nut to crack when she went broody thos year! Next year we might be able to give her eggs, but this year we were at our limit.

    Posting this because I keep looking at this picture and chuckling. Chicken faces look so ridiculous from the front!

    Help my baby chick hurt beak

    I'm so sorry for your loss. A necropsy would be a good idea if answers would give you closure. It sounds like it could be reproductive related. I had a similar situation, we had a legbar chick who was thriving and healthy right up until laying age. The week we got our first egg (from one of...

    Ainawgsd's farm chickens

    No, the trap's been empty. The day after the attack I did see something in the road just past where we turn off for the coop. It was just far enough away I couldn't identify what it was, but the right size for raccoon or fox. I didn't have time to check it out at the time, and it was gone when i...

    Wyandotte?

    Agreed, looks like a gold laced (black laced gold) or blue laced gold wyandotte pullet. Single combs are incorrect, but not terribly uncommon, especially in hatchery wyandottes.

    Lavender Orpington

    Pullet. At over 5 months you would be seeing pointy saddle feathers if she were a male. Some pullets are just obnoxiously loud. One of mine can be heard two blocks over when she gets going, so we keep the girls in the coop until 7am out of consideration for the neighbors (although it took one of...

    Hen or rooster olive/Easter egger

    Cockerel. Male specific feathers rarely start coming in before 12 weeks old, so he's too young for feathers to be an indicator. If you pick him up and part the feathers on the saddle region you might see the pointy male saddle feathers just starting to emerge.

    What Knife do younuse to slaughter the birds?

    I use a #10 scalpel blade. Handles are cheap enough and I just switch blades when they get dull.

    4 week old RIRxOlive Egger Cross

    If E is a RIRxDelawate that combination creates sex linked offspring, gold pullets and silver (split for gold) cockerels. Which would make that one 100% female based on the down color!

    Happy meow meow Monday everyone! Apparently the CDS has determined our clowder to be too monochromatic and sent this guy to scream forlornly in my yard all weekend.
