    Molting in dead of winter help!!

    I have 1 chicken molting currently, it’s the dead of winter. She is half bald and shivering. What do I do for her?! I don’t want her to suffer? We have a mildly insulated and adequately ventilated coop. Our run is roofed and currently wrapped in plastic to keep out snow and some wind. They are...

    Feeling Very Guilty...Need Advice

    We had pretty much the same experience when introducing our rescue dog, a 4 year old black lab who was a failed duck hunter with a prey drive. She would pull VERY hard on the leash to lunge and snap at them and even managed to get a mouth full of tail feathers yanked out when we introduced her...

    SLW Cockerel or Pullet

    Hatchery Silver Laced Wyandotte is currently 5 weeks old and larger than all the others (assorted breeds). Comb started to pink up suspiciously early. Pictures are from approximately 3 weeks old and then 5 weeks old. What do you think?

    Help with sexing 6 week Easter Egger/Wyandotte

    Yes! She we got her four more Cochin and oprington friends that are around 15 weeks old however she chooses to completely ignore them and spend all her time with the 2 remaining roosters that have yet to be culled. We have 5 acres so I guess it’s easy to ignore each other but we are worried...

    Help with sexing 6 week Easter Egger/Wyandotte

    I just wanted to follow up in case anyone is searching old posts like I was trying to sex their chickens. The 4 suspected cockerels were indeed that but the reddish brown ended up being a pullet like I had originally thought. Here she is at 19 weeks

    I’m adding some more photos, if y’all wouldn’t mind giving your opinions again for the lighter reddish brown (possible pullet) and the white. I appreciate you taking the time!

    Help with sexing 6 week Easter Egger/Wyandotte

    Well darn, if that’s the case I won’t be getting many eggs will I? Haha I guess we’ll have to buy some sexed birds from a feed store. My husband really only wants to keep one rooster and will probably want to make a meal out of the others. I thought they would be around a while so I’m pretty...

    Help with sexing 6 week Easter Egger/Wyandotte

    First time chicken owner here and I need help sexing them. I got them straight run from a backyard farmer and it appears that my luck is really bad because, to me, 4 out of 5 appear to be cockerels. Like I said, I am a newbie... I hope I am wrong, the reddish brown looks like the only pullet...
