I have 3 different varieties of hens. Easter Eggers, Barred Rock, Wyaodette. None of them have started laying yet. We do live in Michigan and the weather has been colder, will they not lay until Spring?
I have 9 chickens total. 6 weeks and 10 week olds. They’ve been together for at least 3 weeks now. They all seem to be sneezing. They look great, act fine. Some diarrhea. What should I do?
I’m new to chickens. They are 10 weeks old. One of the dominant ones ( not sure on sex) chased a chipmunk today out of the chicken run. As if protecting the flock. Would you say that’s a rooster trait or do hens also do that? There she/he is. The gray and white Easter egger.
#4 The Godmother- she’s always been my biggest. Pretty friendly. I think she’s the Alpha. Very gray with patterned top. These are all home breed. Not from a hatchery.
#3 Anna my most friendly. Jumps on my lap. Black bottom patterned top. I think I seen some Seattle feathers starting today. You can see them in that last picture
Thanks for the info! This is my first go at chickens. I have 4 EE’s they are 9 weeks. According to comb they are pullets but I’d love to hear what you think about the coloring.
#1 Elsa- All black. White toenails and very green iridescent all over body
#2 Malificent black bottom patterned...
