Hi. I’m still confused on the salmon Faverolle gender. Only because we just took them outside and they made a noise and it freaked out my rooster! Here’s chicken number 1: here’s chicken number 2:

Hi. So I know it’s perfectly ok to eat fertilized eggs. Just a question, to get dirt off them ive been rinsing them off quickly with warm water, drying them immediately then sticking them in the fridge. Rinsing them like that won’t be an issue, right? Just curious because I want to start...

Hi all. My rooster lately has been having some problems and unable to figure out what the culprit is. He’s eating and drinking fine. However, he trips when he’s walking and falls and is unable to get up. We’ve had to pick him up quite a few times. His comb and waddle are nice and red. He’s...

I will definitely try this!

He is acting normal. I’m not sure if he could be dehydrated or not as they have water :( He’s fairly young, only about 7 months old

It’s kind of hard to see in the pics. But my Brahma rooster comb is a faint black. Any ideas what this could be?

I know it's already been said but just confirming that the lighter ones are Salmon Favorelles and they do look to be like females :)

That is a sigh of relief! Oh they are well loved lol:love

Hi again! So I've actually noticed that the past week or so there hasn't been any eggs laid 🤔 My hens are 8 months old.

Update! Almost 4 weeks old now :love

Thanks! The same thing happened to us. We bought chickens from a local store when they were about 8 weeks old and all were supposed to be pullets, but the Brahma ended up being a rooster. We wouldn’t trade him for the world though!

I'm definitely going to start looking into one of those nest boxes! :) I've never heard of the mustard method, but going to try that as well! It's a hassle going to get the eggs and some of them are eaten lol

Yes, I did try hatching eggs in an incubator. Unfortunately none of my hens are broody. I'm not sure which one of my hens it is, but if I leave the eggs in the coop, they'll get eaten 😭 I hatched one chick- but it shortly died afterwards. The rest I had incubating just didn't hatch even...

Hi all. I've officially given up on hatching and raising eggs. The whole experience just didn't go well for me. I've considered just eating the eggs and possibly selling fresh eggs, but however, I have a rooster with 3 hens. That being said, I have a few questions. Are they safe to eat...

They complain about the wind & rain the most! My delaware however, will complain at the run door to let her free range when I let them out of the coop before work....and my delaware is such a mother figure lol. She'll sit there and call everyone back in when it's dark out
