    Unknown barred rock gender.

    That's so odd. So maybe they were labeled wrong? The female I got is all black with white in the face (so far). Back to the rooster though, it's so aggressive. Can I nip this in the bud now somehow? I:be had roosters before, but they were friendly. 😩

    Unknown barred rock gender.

    I have a barred rock that I got from a straight run batch at tractor supply. I got 2, with the thought that I would at least have a hen and a rooster out of the two, if not 2 hens. One of the ones I got, does not seem to be a barred rock lol. She has no stripes. But the one that is, is what...

    Possible bumble foot?

    It's kind of just a guess. I've been asking around but haven't gotten anywhere. Some of the scales on her legs are peeling up too Maybe mites?

    Possible bumble foot?

    I've never delt with bumble foot before, but I think my hen might have it. I noticed it last night when I went out to check on the chickens I hadn't seen this girl all day. Her foot is super swollen and can't walk on it. She's in the house, and I've soaked it in warm water. Google says Epsom...

    Fertilized eggs

    Hmm. Interesting. Maybe they were wrong on his age when I got him. He does get picked on by my barred rocks and he seems to submit to them. Haven't seen any bullseye's. My last rooster was a golden seabright bantam and he grew with my girls and was the same age. I saw him mate with them...

    Fertilized eggs

    I'm not sure. I mean.. I think they said he was 6 months when I got him. I've had him a couple months so that makes him like.. 9?

    Fertilized eggs

    So I got my rooster a couple months ago. His transition to my flock of 5 girls was a rough one. For the longest time they didn't accept him and poor guy got a little beat up. Theyve been free ranging together for a while now and they seem better with him. He still is kinda distant when they...

    Wanderers

    More worried about loss I guess. They usually come when called and especially when I shake a can with food in it, but today it didn't work. :( So that's concerning.

    Wanderers

    Hi guys. I haven't posted in a while! Recently I've been trying my girls with free ranging during the day. Up until now, it's been great. Today, I've noticed them next door in the woods. It's no biggie that they are there because it is my mom's property,but I'm concerned that they've traveled...

    Mystery chick

    Okay. I wanna say I posted about this before.. maybe even the same title thread lol. But my cousin ended up with a day old chick and asked if I would take it. ( It was given to her boyfriend to feed his snake, and he didn't wanna do that) it came from a farm the friend worked at. Anyway, I...
