    Sex my Silkie!

    Thank you! I might try that. I was planning to keep both, since they're silkies and mostly get along, but maybe separate them for awhile.

    Sex my Silkie!

    INTERESTING! yeah I was convinced they were both cockerels, until the one started acting really roostery and the other really took a passive stance. That theory makes total sense.

    Sex my Silkie!

    I have one roo, he's already crowing. But I watched them all morning, multiple mornings, and the second chicken does not crow. They're the same age - about 4 - 5 months, and it's just the two of them. I witnessed them fighting and figured they were both cockerels, but now I'm not so sure. I...

She was struggling! We considered putting her out of her misery, and she died while...

    Is this just me?

    Wow! Thank you all for your time and concern. I have purchased different breeds from this breeder, and I don't think I'll be asking her about if she's had many deaths because that feels too confrontational. Plus, I'm not certain I'd get a straight answer. I'm definitely going to do a postmortem...

    Disease or egg bound concern

    I didn't know this existed! Thank you. It didn't really narrow it down, but I maaaayyyy just get a vet involved.

    Disease or egg bound concern

    Hey! I have some concerns about my blue wheaten ameraucana pullet. She was hatched 6/3/2019, and has yet to produce an egg. It's winter, so I wasn't expecting anything, but we live in FL. Yesterday, she spent all day in her coop. She didn't actually leave her coop until about noon today. VERY...

    Sex my chicken!

    I had heard that, but wasn't 100% sure, but I'm glad it's not just wishful thinking! Thank you guys.

    Sex my chicken!

    Hey! I have a couple of blue wheaten ameraucanas that are almost 5 months old. I'm fairly certain the dark one is a roo, but do you guys think the lighter one is a pullet?
