    Rooster in the henhouse?

    Well hopefully he'll do it quietly or he might end up as soup!

    Rooster in the henhouse?

    I thought so! He is pretty. We can keep him as long as he isn't terribly loud (so far he hasn't shown any signs of crowing or wanting to crow, he's actually the most quiet chicken I have!). My husband has... objections to being woken up at dawn by loud birds.

    Rooster in the henhouse?

    Latest batch of chicks has given me a surprise! I think my buff brahma might be a rooster. They just turned four months this week. Tried to get as many angles on the pictures as I could. What do you think?

    Can't get chickens to drink from Beaktime automatic waterers - help!!

What I did was tip up the little yellow float to fill the cup up all the way so they could see the water better (I even let a little water flow over the sides). Mine didn't...

    ID please?

    Hello! I've been having trouble figuring out the breed on one of my girls and wondering if you folks can help me ID her. I can get pictures at different angles if needed. About 10 weeks old. Legs slowly developing black. Comb looks rose to me? Wings have white tips. Thanks!
