    Fattening chickens up?

    Any feed suggestions with higher protein? They eat plenty of bugs and small reptiles/snakes while they free range. They are probably out 5+ hours a day. I have them on Dumor Pellet/ crumble feed, oats, cracked corn, and sunflowers. I worm them with wazine. It's super hot here. I'm not sure if...

    Fattening chickens up?

    Hi all! I have roughly 24 chickens. They are in a 50x50 run. I regularly deworm them. I recently had a fecal via vet on one of my hens and she was negative for parasites. They are also external parasite free. I just did a sevin dust regimen for lice. They are free range a majority of the day. I...

    What breed is this and is it a roo or a hen?

    You should see it run. It crouches low to the ground. It's the weirdest freaking chicken I've ever seen. It legit looks like a velociraptor.

    What breed is this and is it a roo or a hen?

    I figured he was too flashy to be a hen. The other one I purchased with him is a solid black hen. Shes got a small pink pea comb.

    What breed is this and is it a roo or a hen?

    Should be 5 months or so. Like I said I have not noticed any wing dancing, crowing, tidbitting, or attempts to breed.

    What breed is this and is it a roo or a hen?

    I was sold two hens that were advertised as olive Eggers. I think I've been duped. What kind of chicken is this and is it a hen or a rooster? It should be close to laying. I also have not noticed crowing, tidbitting, or any attempting to mate.

    Silkie roo or hen?

    I have another question for you. What do you think of this turken? Should be around the same age. I'm not familiar with the breed. Is it a male or female?

    Silkie roo or hen?

    I bought 3 silkie hens (or so I thought). I wanted them because they are so cute! I have one americauna and one russian orloff rooster. I don't particularly want anymore.

    Silkie roo or hen?

    I'm unsure of age...probably 3-4 months. I'm leaning towards rooster.

    Please tell me Marshmallow is a hen

    I sure hope you are right! I purchased her simply for looks (I think they are so cute). I have two roosters (Americauna and Spangled Russian Orloff). I didn't want another rooster ....much less one of that breed.
