    Is my Bantam RIR a HE or a SHE?

    Seems like everyone agrees that it's a boy. Here's a side view picture though. The "for sure" rooster is in the background.

    Is my Bantam RIR a HE or a SHE?

    Both have the same feather pattern around the neck and saddle. The rooster doesn't try to mate with this one either. Thanks for the comments. Is there such a thing as an underdeveloped rooster that doesn't have all the male characteristics?

    Is my Bantam RIR a HE or a SHE?

    I acquired this bantam RIR about 3 months ago. I was told "she" was hatched last year. By looking at this picture can anyone tell the gender? She looks just like the other one that I have that is for sure a rooster, except a little smaller. "She" doesn't lay eggs. Also, "she" doesn't' crow...

    Poultry nipples

    I have not tried them horizontally. I have plenty of nipples. I think I'll try it.

    Nesting boxes????

    My pullets started using the nests automatically. Have not found eggs any place but the nests. Have not used fake eggs.

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    3 eggs from 6 pullets that are 18 weeks old. I assume all 6 are not laying yet.

    When are chickens supposed to start laying

    I got 6 Golden Comet pullets as chicks on 3/15. One started laying about two weeks ago. I have 3 laying now and 3 that have not started yet.

    RIP my beautiful rooster

    We saw a fox in broad daylight running from our coop the other day when he spotted us. I do not have any wire buried, but I do have 2' wide wire laid out horizontally around the perimeter with a layer of gravel on top. I hope this works. I don't see any signs of anything digging or trying to get...

    What treat did your chickies get today?

    I gave mine pimento cheese yesterday. They loved it.

    Poultry nipples

    My chickens found them right away. I think they peck anything and everything and they quickly find out there's water coming from them. Having said that mine seem to prefer drinking from an old fashion waterer.

    Hello - New Member

    Update: Three of my pullets are now laying. They are not EE's, however. The eggs are brown and I think they are Golden Comets. My bantam RIR is still not laying. I guess I better get busy posting to get my 10 posts in so I can post some pictures for confirmation.

    Hello - New Member

    Right now they are not free range. I'd like to, but we have outdoor cats. The EE's were here first. The RIR's have been with them about a month now.
