    What breed is this drake? Saxony?

    He's not terribly unhappy, we have 2 other females that's he's gotten friendly with. I hatched the last 4 of his mate's eggs, so he has 4 yellow floof balls to help raise now.

    What breed is this drake? Saxony?

    Do you think his green bill and lighter/typically female coloring and eye stripe are the result of being a mixed breed of some sort?

    What breed is this drake? Saxony?

    I was told this was a Saxony drake, but I can't find photos of other drakes that look like him. His mate was a beautiful Saxony female but she got herself eaten. He has a green bill, white eye stripe, and orange feet. Thoughts?

    Easter egger cockerel free to good home South Park, CO

    I live in Castle Rock, and if you could meet in either Denver or CO Springs, I'd love to give this guy a home with my EE girls.

    What is prime rooster eating age? (PR)

    23 hens. I was thinking about keeping two because I really like the little bantam, but then also keeping a Red around for possible breeding if we ever decide to hatch some chicks.

    What is prime rooster eating age? (PR)

    We have 3 roosters and intend to keep 2 of them. They're only 8 weeks old at the moment. One is a sweet bantam that has so far been quite a gentleman, and the other two are production reds (sexed pullets, my ***!). One has started testing me and will bite and peck at my hands when I reach in for...

    What breed is Sir Peckerwood?

    Our chicks are 7-8 weeks old. Sir Peckerwood is the adorable little black Bantam who started crowing at 5 weeks old. Any help identifying his breed? He is almost all black, with some whitish tail feathers starting to emerge. Also, can you help identify the breed (and gender) of the little...

    Huge chick: Roo, food hog, or just older?

    I sure hope you're all right! No room around here for another roo.

    Huge chick: Roo, food hog, or just older?

    This is Dina/Dino. I cleared out the bin of Red "pullets" at TSC, and this one has always been bigger than the rest so I assumed it was older and left over from an earlier batch. The rest are almost 4 weeks old now, but this one is starting to WAY outgrow the rest! Looking like a boy to anyone...

    Bantam chick: What breed?

    [/IMG][/IMG] This little guy is almost 4 weeks old. Looking awfully roostery with the impressive comb for its age. Any guess on breed?

    Need help asap! Chicks all pecking each other!

    Help! I feel like a total failure of a Chicken Mother!! I woke up today and discovered blood everywhere in the brooder! I have 20 chicks (Red pullets, a leghorn and a few random bantams) in a nice large brooder (4' x 5') They are almost 3 weeks old, plenty of food, water, and warmth. Woke up...

    Wasted food?! Help!

    We're using one of the standard upright plastic feeders... I wonder if I could cut a hole in a paper plate and add it above the food like a visor so they could only get their heads in? Hmmm...

    Wasted food?! Help!

    What do you do to stop your chicks from kicking all of the food out and pooping in it?! We use sand in the brooder for litter and I have to sift it twice a day to keep the smell/hygiene in check. Every time I sift it, 3/4 of what I have to pull out is food crumbles! How do you keep the food...

    Is there any hope for a 2 week old bully?

    Well, I did it. I culled him. My first time culling a little chick... what a horrible job Thanks for the replies- I guess I knew all along what I needed to do, but I needed "permission" from other chicken owners first

    Is there any hope for a 2 week old bully?

    I've got a mystery bantam chick with a serious Napoleon complex. He's only 2 weeks old but I'm pretty sure already that it's a Roo because it (he) is extremely aggressive, bucks up, stomps on the other chicks, pecks hard at them, and even drags them around by their heads if he grips any feathers...
