    Questionable black Orpington pullet

    I bought 2 sexed Orpington chicks in February and one was a male, then I bought 2 Orpington pullets and turns out the black one is indeed a little male. This year is 50%, at these odds I shouldn’t have paid the pullet premium and just went with straight run LOL.

    Questionable black Orpington pullet

    I bought two Orpington pullets a couple weeks ago, the chocolate Orpington (not pictured) is definitely a pullet, but I am suspicious that the black Orpington is a cockerel.

    5 month old hen can not walk, help please!

    Thank you for your reply! Yes I did feel for breaks in her legs and I couldn’t feel anything that felt abnormal. Her legs are usually off to one side as she tends to want to position herself on one side. Every now and again I have repositioned her after she tries to move and one leg slips...

    5 month old hen can not walk, help please!

    I have a 5 month old hen who can not walk. Symptoms started 4 days ago- she can move her legs but will not put any weight on them. She also has had some mucus in her nose. I removed her from the coop and she is currently inside the garage in her own pen with a heat lamp for added warmth. She is...

    Freedom Rangers as laying hens - impressed so far!

    I also have a puppy dog like Red Ranger hen. She was given to my family as well, and we’ve had her for almost 4 years. She was full grown and laying when she came to us. She’s very quirky and funny! She is a gem with my kiddos which is always a plus. The only downside is that she does have...
