    Nature Photography

    I don't have any pictures to share but I do have a couple links you guys might find interesting. I didn't get to see Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) because of a lot of bad weather here but I love looking online at what others photograph. Yuri Beletsky is an astronomer and award-winning photographer who...

    Roo or hen and what breed?

    They both must have crooked toes then. No big deal, I was just a little confused for identification purposes. Either way within a couple weeks you'll have a much better idea whether they're male or female. Also, :welcome. Best of luck to you with your chickens and hopefully they're both girls! ✌️

    Roo or hen and what breed?

    In that case I'd lean pullet on the first bird and cockerel on the second, just based on comb and wattle color and size. (Even though we can't see the comb on the first bird, it looks really pale and I don't see any male specific feathers on either bird at the moment.) I thought they were the...

    Roo or hen and what breed?

    I'd lean cockerel, and it's definitely splash colored. I don't know where you're located but it reminds me of a British Araucana with the muffs and small crest. Also, those toes are pretty crooked. I assume it gets around ok?

    What chicken breed and color is this?

    In my somewhat limited research it appears they are both extremely rare here in the US. It looks like the Sulmtaler bantams are all or mostly in the UK/Europe.

    What chicken breed and color is this?

    Looks like Greenfire Farms has large fowl Sulmtaler hatching eggs for sale at the moment. https://greenfirefarms.com/sulmtaler.html There was a member here recently looking for Pyncheons and they were coming up empty, even for birds that weren't correct for the SOP. It also seems that any...

    It appears that other chickens have been pecking his feathers out around his butt. It also looks like he has prolapsed a bit and they've been pecking at that too. At the very least, separate him from the others for now. I'll let others with more experience treating injuries help you out with...

    To straw, or not to straw?

    I think it depends on the freshness and how and where the straw is stored more than anything when it comes to mites and such. Many hardware/farm stores will get a load of straw and not sell it that quick so it sits around longer and has more exposure to weather and wild birds, etc. If I needed...

    Breeds?

    The first one is giving me Easter Egger vibes. The second one doesn't have white earlobes, so I doubt it's a Brown Leghorn. It's most likely either a Welsummer or a Welsummer/Legbar cross that some hatcheries use to make Olive Eggers. It's possible either of them are laying a greenish egg.

    Opinion on mullets?

    Yeah I certainly get it, haha. I see them around here too.

    Vultures do eat chickens! How do I keep them away?

    Black Vultures are expanding their range northward, especially in my area. I had never seen one until the last year or two, always Turkey Vultures. Now it seems to be split pretty evenly between the two. Whereas Turkey Vultures will flap and fly to move just a couple feet away, Black Vultures...

    Opinion on mullets?

    It had been a long time since I had my hair cut (no mullet, ha) so I went a couple weeks ago and got it chopped off. While me and the girl were talking we got on the subject of mullets (and perms.) She said in the last year or so she has given so many mullet cuts and/or perms to younger dudes...

    Opinion on mullets?

    Why am I not surprised that the "Mullet Champ" competition happens in my home state and neighboring state? 🤷‍♂️ :hmm 🤨 Wait a minute, I have to let a few of my friends know about this, they'd have a legit shot to win! lol
