    What gender? Polish and Frizzle Cochin.

    If he is too loud, I can't. They are allowed in the county. but I have 1 neighbor who might mind . I don't want to cause any ill feelings. I prefer to live peaceably with people too! I would love to keep a roo though. I think they help keep the hens in line sometimes!

    What gender? Polish and Frizzle Cochin.

    That's the one I was thinking since-his comb has already started-the best I can tell with the feathers on the wings too -is they look pretty even :(

    What gender? Polish and Frizzle Cochin.

    Can anyone tell yet if these are hens or roos? I think these are a little more clear than the others I posted before. Do I need to wait more for the crest on the Polish?

    P2 Polish and 1 Frizzle Cochin(I think)

    My babies are getting to be about 2-3weeks and I want to find new homes for the cockerels before the crowing starts if possible (1 cranky neighbor would start trouble if I kept 1). Any help in sexing appreciated. I haven't had much experience with it so here's my best guesses. Anyone who knows...

    Silkie thread!

    So she would probably be happier with another silkie? I loved her brother he was docile but I can't keep a roo where I live. I was looking at chicks, but should I look closer to her same age? She is 7 mo. My EE gets along with her, but she still is a bit aloof from the flock.

    Diary of a Crossbeak: Support for Special Needs Chickens and their Keepers

    I have 1 with a slight cross beak. She doesn't gain weight as well with the general population, but she was lonely the last time I separated her. She does eat and drink but doesn't always get the same amount of food b/c she is pushed away. Not sure what to do.

    Silkie thread!

    I have a silkie I think is a hen, but she's a bit aggressive. She's gotten more aggressive since I gave her brother away. I have no other silkies. Should I get her a new silkie friend or just remove and reintroduce her to combat aggressive behaviors?

    Runny Poop, Lethargic, Sleeping Outside Away from Flock

    So far she has still been eating and drinking from what I've seen-I was not able to observe yesterday though. I feed them the Dumor crumbles from Tractor Supply.I did recently add scratch and mealworms. There is one other Silkie. The others are an EE and 2 Black Sex LInks. The other Silkie is...

    Runny Poop, Lethargic, Sleeping Outside Away from Flock

    I've never had a sick chicky before. I have a 5 month old Silkie who is having runny amber colored poop, acting lethargic, and tonight I discovered her sleeping outside the coop away from the flock. I just tonight started Poly vi sol (w/o iron) in the flock water. I have 4 other chickies who are...

    Thanks! I only found him accidentally when I left cat food out on my porch one night and he set off the motion light on my deck

    Coop and run Expansion

    I have an opossum that lives somewhere nearby. Do they bother chickens? The eggs are safely laid in the housing unit and I do use chicken wire on the run, but there's a small gap I'm a little concerned about.

    How to get rid of mold?

    I have had some success on test spots recently for mold using a water, vinegar, and dawn solution with lavender oil. I will be scrubbing down my whole coop tomorrow.

    Introducing Chicks to Hens

    Oh Wow, thanks for the info. I may rethink the breeds. I'm confident about wanting to get an Americana but maybe I won't get the bantams. Are there other breeds that would introduce better?
