    New rooster just showed up...

    And the worst story is a friend of mine had her chickens stolen. Lavender orpingtons. Probably 25 birds... Terrible

    New rooster just showed up...

    Idk what's worse, finding remains and knowing what killed them or when they just disappear. Have had both happen

    Well, he's made himself at home. Has a following of hens. Guess it was meant to be...

    New rooster just showed up...

    I did get to pick out 6 new chicks this spring. Chicken math... And I needed blue chickens...

    New rooster just showed up...

    I usually don't have to go anywhere... Ducks, frozen birds, dogs, cats and now a rooster... All seem to find me right where I am.

    New rooster just showed up...

    . Right? Seems like all my critters have that same lucky streak. I'd really like to pick one out for myself instead of them picking me...

    Looking at the length of his spurs he looks young. They are not quite an inch long.

    He is pretty! And small enough not to hurt my petite white leghorns...

    New rooster just showed up...

    That's what I figured. Just thought I'd post to confirm. His name is cottoneye Joe... Where did you come from? Where did you go... Since I have no clue where he came from

    Probably not... I'm in mid to southeast Michigan. Rural but close to Flint, 100 miles north of Detroit

    New rooster just showed up...

    Yes he does. I guess they come in all colors, it's the single comb that's throwing me off. I've been hearing him crow for a few days, couldn't figure out what neighbors got chickens. Honestly, I think someone had an unwanted roo and saw my chickens and dropped him off on the road over the...

    New rooster just showed up...

    Which is fine, I have 28 hens with only one rooster and been thinking for awhile I could use another. Usually things you wish for don't just show up in your backyard... Young rooster, can't figure out breed. Silver laced Wyandotte (color) mixed with americauna (beard) was my first thought, but...

    Light Brahmas ~6 months... both pullets?

    I have two left of the four chicks I purchased in April. They are most certainly pullets, but every once in awhile they do something that makes me wonder! Just now they were on my deck, hackles up jumping at each other - like roosters do. I don't think I've ever seen hens "fight" like that...

    California Greys???

    I got a single pullet chick that was labelled as a California Grey Leghorn. Impulse buy, never had heard of the breed before and once I looked it up, I realized I must have a California White, as she was a yellow chick and has feathered out white. She is my favorite one out of a mix of...

    12 week old golden laced wyandotte... genders?

    Oh boo. Found this page when I clicked on the image of the young roo posted above. I was hoping against all odds that it was going to lead to the answer that was a pullet. I have one that looks exactly like that, at roughly the same age. Darn it, they were sexed chicks, supposed to be all...
