    Gender confirmation

    Thank you so much for explaining that. I see what you're talking about now. You're pullet for comparison is very helpful (she's gorgeous, btw). Now I know what to look for in the future. Thanks again!

    Gender confirmation

    Ok. These are my first brahmas. Can you explain what convinces you so? I'm just trying to learn. Thank you!

    Gender confirmation

    I'm starting to wonder if it's 2 hens as well. The silver laced has a more pink comb as opposed to the obviously red combs of 3 of them. And the hackle feathers look more rounded. I took some better pictures yesterday - one of all 5 of them with possible pullets in front, and one of just the...

    Gender confirmation

    I have 5 8-week old project color brahmas. It looks to me like I've got 4 cockerels and 1 pullet. What do you all think? I can try to get better pictures if these aren't good enough.

    Is my hen sick?

    I have 600 mg calcium carbonate with D. Would that work?

    Is my hen sick?

    This afternoon, I noticed my 2yo EE hen behaving oddly. She was at the waterer, drinking a lot, and showing no interest in treats. She had a milky discharge coming from her cloaca. I checked on her a little while later, and she had left the shell of an egg, along with some white discharge in a...

    silkie sexing

    Thank you for your input. The more I look at her, the more I think she is a he. That's ok, though. We're out in the country where roos are allowed. We already have a 9 month old Ameraucana roo. Hopefully, they'll continue to get along. We have 4 adult hens and 3 pullets (if this one is a boy)...

    silkie sexing

    The breeder said they were silkie and bantam cochin mix. I thought that resulted in a satin. Like I said, I'm not familiar with the breed. 🤷‍♀️ I normally do more research before buying any chicks, but I haven't been able to find much info about satins. This was kind of an impulse buy - so...

    silkie sexing

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'll give it a shot. I'm a little stumped about the sex of my satin. I am a total newbie to the breed. The breeder guessed pullet, so that's what I've been going with. I don't remember how old she said she was, so I will include a "baby...

    Hens not laying

    Thank you so much for your response. I had a feeling it was as simple as the OE's just being poor producers. Lesson learned. Looks like I'll have to put "new chickens" on my Christmas list this year. 😁

    Hens not laying

    I know this topic has been discussed a lot, and I have read a lot of the threads regarding this, but I still can't figure out why my hens aren't laying. I have 2 EE's and 2 OE's, hatched July 2022. We lived in Florida when we got them and they were laying great once they were of age. In May...
