I have Rhode Island reds(5), leghorn(1), wyandottes(2), isa brown(1), 4 chicks that I'm not sure what they are 2 are black with black legs and the other two look similar to how my leghorn looked as a chick.
Here in Texas we are predicted to have an intense winter this year. If our power grid fails again I'm not sure how I will keep my chickens warm. I have the resources to keep them warm as long as I have electricity but does anyone have any methods they could share or tips that don't involve...
I have 2 roosters and 8 hens, they're all 19-20wks. The past couple of days both roos have been attacking and mating one particular hen together. At the same time. The have not tried to mate any of the other hens. At least that I've seen. They are obsessed with this one hen and I feel so bad for...
I'm curious what others think these 10 chicks are. They were gifted to me by a friend who order a hatchery surprise special of 40 chick pullets.
From looking at the breeds on their website I think 5 are black Australorps and 2 are welsummers. The other 3 I'm stumped.
I also would appreciate...

I have questions about 3 of my chickens. All of my chickens are 18wks old
1. one of my chickens was labeled buff Orpington but she definitely doesn't look like other people's buff Orpingtons I've seen. What breed is she?
2. Is my polish a rooster? Just a few weeks ago he/she had the curve hair...
My chicks are 8 & 10 weeks old. There's 10 of them. I used chick starter feed until yesterday. Yesterday I put them in the coop & run and started giving them the feed I made. I knew they needed lots of protein but that's about it.
First time making feed... What do you mean by no nutritional target? I researched things that are nutritional for chickens had them shipped to me and mixed them together. I have little knowledge over this that's why I asked on here.
I originally got the dried hibiscus flowers for their nesting boxes but after looking into it more I read that it is immune boosting for them so I decided to add some to their feed. When they find it they get grab it and run like they do when they find a bug
