    Better pics of my mystery black chickens

    I know... they are so interesting. Yes, those slate, or as I call them black, legs are kind of odd. But its those dark brown eyes that I love so much. Not many breeds have them. They may have started laying, but I just don't know where they would've done so. They definitely do not go into the...

    Black sex link pullet… or is it?

    OMG! I just posted a second thread about my girls from TS that look like yours. I wish we could figure out what they are. They aren't BSLs. They have those dark brown eyes like some of my barnyard mix chickens that started with the hybrid Green Queens from My Pet Chicken. These girls are so cool...

    Better pics of my mystery black chickens

    Ok, so I posted a not very good picture of our black chickens that we got at Tractor Supply as Black Sex Links the end of October. Mostly thoughts were they were some sort of possible hybrid. Thought I would post some better pics. The girls are quite interesting looking. They're getting pretty...

    What are these chickens?

    I think you are right. They must be some sort of hybrid. I'll be anxious to see their eggs and to see how they look when they're fully mature.

    What are these chickens?

    I had no idea they actually had red genes. Makes sense tho, as so many do have red or what I would call brown markings. Our old girls were very sweet and great egg layers. These girls are sooo scared of everything. I think it's because they got out into the open area of the pen that we had...

    What are these chickens?

    Thank you SilverBirds! The fire was a horrible experience for sure. Been hard to move on, but our chickens surely help us. No, I don't think they are laying yet. I'm anxious to see what color their eggs will be tho. I don't know who our TSC gets their chicks from. Will ask them next time I go...

    What are these chickens?

    Hi guys! It's been a very long time since I've been on here. Went thru the Camp Fire in Paradise, CA in 2018. Lost our home, everything we had and 90% of our town. Lost our 13 chickens too. We moved about 45 min away and have been keeping chickens for over 5 yrs now, here. Having fun with...

    GLW has eye issue and shakes head

    Ok, we put some lubricating drops in Josephine's eye and some of that Systhane eye lubricant gel that I got for my own dry eyes awhile back. It seems she just has something in her eye, and the head shaking appears to be due to the eye either just bothering her or maybe itching. She's clean. No...

    GLW has eye issue and shakes head

    Hi guys! I was hoping somebody might be able to tell me what's wrong with one of my girls. One of my Golden laced Wyandottes, Josephine (yr and a half old), has been having some sort of problem with her left eye for a couple of weeks now. It started with her just closing it off and on. Over time...

    Pretty sure I know the answer, but... is this EE a Roo?

    Well, sad to say, but we re-homed my boy last night. The no-crow collar didn't work. He still managed to crow his little butt off!! We miss him already tho. He was a sweet bird. The younger girls seem to miss him too. They were hanging out in the coop after breakfast, kinda like they were...

    How big was your EE's comb when she started laying?

    My first two EE girls began laying about 21-22 weeks if I recall correctly. They aren't the most consistent layers of my bunch of ladies. Some days I get one, or none. Not that often get both of them droppin' one the same day. I have a new girl that's about 17weeks old now, and she's pretty...

    Pretty sure I know the answer, but... is this EE a Roo?

    Wow! EIGHT weeks?? My boy is 16weeks old and I never heard sounds like that til now. And yes, that definitely sounds like your bird is trying to crow!! As for my Desi, I just made him a "no-crow" collar and will have to wait til this evening to get my husband to help me put it on him. This...

    SLW gender?

    Well, I'm certainly no expert, but I'm thinking rooster. Only because I have two 15 week old SLWs and their combs were not that bright a red at that age, and the wattles were barely even showing. They're quickly maturing now tho. I'm sure mine are girls!! I dunno... give it a few more weeks...

    Dog killed chick

    I would not fault the puppy. She was just doing what's in her nature. Just keep your other precious ladies safe in their enclosure and resign yourself to the fact that they can't be let out. We have a good-sized run for our chickens. It's 8'x24' with a 4'x5' walk-in coop towards one end, and we...
