    Young hen stopped laying

    I've read some of the other threads on hens who quit laying, but have a somewhat unique situation. I am new to chicken keeping, so if this is something obvious, I apologize. I have an Ameraucana that will be one year old on May 22nd. She is my only hen laying blue eggs, so I know I get one egg...

    Wyandottes... hens or roos?

    Ok, guys, LAST POST... I promise. Three 5 week old Wyandottes... the Silver Laced is acting a little like a roo, but no sign of a comb yet. The Blue Laced Red Wyandotte (sorry for the typo on those, but BLRW #2) is also acting like a roo and has a larger comb than the other BLRW. Any thoughts...

    Barred Plymouth Rocks... hens or roos?

    5 Week old Barred Rocks that I purchased straight run. What do you think? The one with more white ( and yellow legs) may have a slightly larger comb. It is also a little more feisty compared to the darker one ( with black on legs) who jumps up onto my lap and lays down all the time.

    Ameraucana chicks... hens or roos?

    Thank you... this straight run thing is driving me crazy! haha #2 is my favorite, so I really hope it is a pullet. If #1 is a pullet, she is a brat. She's been beating up on the others since she was about a week old!

    Australorp & Silver Laced Polish... hens or roos?

    Three 5 week old chicks that I am curious about. The Australorp is very docile and I am thinking it is a pullet. The Silver Laced Polish ("SLP #1") is extremely feisty and carries his tail like that constantly. He has a larger top notch than the other Polish and many more/larger tail feathers...

    Ameraucana chicks... hens or roos?

    I have three 5 week old Ameraucana chicks that I purchased straight run. I'm interested in seeing if you can guess whether I have hens or roos. They are all docile except "Ameraucana #1". I suspect that one is a roo because of the way he carries himself and he is always kicking the other chicks...

    Feathering on pullets v cockerels?

    Aloha everyone, I'm new to the forum and am currently raising my first batch of chicks. They are just over 2 weeks old and I have several breeds. I am noticing that some have very long tail feathers and some (of the same breed even) have no tail feathers. At this age, is it true that pullets...
