    how man roosters/hens do you think are in this picture?

    Great! Thank you all so much! I was thinking the one on the left was a cockerel but now I see perhaps it is not.

    Cubalaya Thread For Sharing Pics and Discussing Our Birds

    Hi everyone. I have a small flock of white Cubalayas that are 6.5 weeks old. How do you determine the sex of cubalayas at this age and is that even possible? I notice the comb is bigger in some of them and some just seem to have a more gentle hen-type face. Also some are larger than others. Any...

    sticking to free range & avoiding laying feed

    Well it seems my chickens are getting everything they need with the free range at the moment. They are big and show signs of health. The huge grasshoppers, roaches, crickets and worms they are eating must be giving them a lot of good protein and nutrients. Also, I forgot to mention tht I give...

    sticking to free range & avoiding laying feed

    Chicken canoe, thanks for the advice. Do you think if I gave them grains and legumes mixed with some chopped dried clover or grass that they would be OK during the couple months of cold here? I am trying to avoid buying the expensive layer feed and would like to make a homemade version of it for...

    sticking to free range & avoiding laying feed

    My hens are 4 and a half months old. They just began laying! I have let them free range since they were a couple weeks old. They get corn and wheat berries in the morning and evening. They eat a lot of bugs and greens every day. I don't give them any other supplemental feed. I think the grass...

    Integrating, what age?

    I have also integrated mine on our free-range acre of woods. I have three different ages of chickens and they are all doing OK together. Mine are 2 weeks, 5 weeks, and 4 months. The big ones chase and peck at the little ones but the little ones can run away. No chicks have been hurt. I put food...

    Can someone tell me what breed this is?

    She is definitely a bantam hen. I am thinking maybe she is a Cochin Calico but I am not sure. She has feathered legs and feet. I am referring to the larger hen in the pic. The chicks are a completely different breed from her. They are cubalayas and auburn sumatras that I gave to her to raise. I...

    Auburn Sumatra?

    HI there! I am brand new to this group and very excited to be able to discuss chickens with the world! I was recently sent some Auburn Sumatra chickens as filler chicks for a Black Sumatra chick order. I am very curious about what they look like as adults. I cannot find any pictures though. Does...
